Mad Dogs?
Midsummer Moto- a warming June Sunday morning saw a splendid 80 Mike round trip to the Wisconsin state line. A new leafy backroad through weekend-quiet commercial districts and horse farms was mapped. Pancakes ‘n’ coffee in Zion and back through the shady turns of Sherudan Road.

Shredding
Last time I tried to have a go at a skateboard was in 1979. I didn’t fare well and didn’t get the hang of it. I’d rather take a skoot on the Bonneville…

Jade
Mint Julep – bourbon headed beauty zooming across some foothill highway upon a sweet looking Bonnie.
Classic lines with formal elegance, this a machine to enjoy looking at and, I’m sure, riding.

Jesus Saves!
Bonnie ‘n’ Ink – sometimes I wish I had smaller hands to reach into the nooks and crannies found on typical motorcycle engineering. This lucky lass has both a nice table elevating maintenance proceedings as well as the deft feminine digits to perform that work. A bike work table is the next thing on my list of projects.
“Hats off Mr Christ.”

Denim
Lucky Brand jeans – the store in Las Vegas has an interesting suspended feature: a disassembled Triumph Bonneville. A mid seventies OIF model in semi-exploded repose. The brand also sells Triumph graphic tee-shirts so this hanging display is right at home.

My Rushmore
If you had to pick four motorcycles to be carved in Dakota granite like Gutzon Borglums mighty heads of US history what would they be? Here are mine: Washington is a Vincent Black Shadow; Jefferson is a Kawasaki Z1; Roosevelt a Ducati 916; and Lincoln a Bonneville, new 2016 or old 1968 model.

The Promised Land
Emily’s Pancake House, Zion IL – halfway on the spring jaunt with the Bonnie’s. The weather was perfect, bikes ran great and the coffee and blueberry topped stack of ‘cakes were delish!

May the Fourth
Being unofficial Star Wars day, other than Storm Trooper and Boba Fett helmets, I happened upon this Imperial logo emblazoned ebony lid for some Triumph riders noggin.

Earth Day
Earth Roamers – a family from Tasmania have travelled over 120,000 miles on Triumph Bonnevilles over the past 3 1/2 years circumnavigating the world collecting stories, friends, adventures and I’m sure a better understanding of what the global village is all about.
Great blog giving updates of their travels too: http://earth-roamers.blogspot.com/?m=1

Hump Day
Mid-Week: also known affectionately as hump day, sees us half way through the five day stretch from weekend to weekend. What better way to celebrate this zenith than a shiny brown leather seat (saddle) for a modern Triumph Bonneville complete with rear racing hump.

Sailing east, sailing west…
Here’s the return image of last weeks gal Friday. A-pillion with German friend at a Tridays event in Glemseck. Cafe racers gather to zoom a short 1/8 mile run, sup lager and talk motorrad.

Smashing just
Sunny, sunny, sunny. Bike is running well, new wheels and tires are confident underboot, and the new lid is a comfy brain-shed.
It doesn’t get much better than this!

Knobblies
Dog walking near the office. This Triumph Bonneville looks like s bit of a mongrel. The short tail pipes must surely bark, thick growling tires paw at asphalt. A wolf for the road.
