Charioteers- Brave commando frogmen drive these torpedo ‘pigs’ to attack the Axis’ strategic ports and harbours. Rubber wetsuits and barium hydroxide laden rebreather ‘s. Dark, cold waters…

Bend Zee Knees
Sur le Piste – seasonal speed. Me too, I’d rather be on my Triumph. This looks like the cartoon illustration of a pair of Scots negotiating the slopes of Cairngorm.

Coat of Arms
Haute Couture- Amaranth Red Speed Twin offers this youthful clean cut model a suitable accessory to show off the Bikers Down Jacket by Balmain of Paris. A $2,000 coat- I’m sure it’s cosy for a chilly spring afternoon in Milan. But you should be wearing proper leathers to be taken seriously on two-wheels. The Balmain Leather jacket is over $5k and NOT made for the road. Purely pedestrian fashion.

Pretty Panthera
Feline Friday – here’s one to chase away yesterday’s posted Mickey! Tigress lounges across the burly single 1930’s Triumph.

Buongiorno trionfo
Psychedelic Rome – true 70’s imagery from the guys in Milan for the twin & triple machines going head-to-head with the Ducati’s and Moto Guzzi’s of the day. A kind of grounded Peter Max look but used effectively on clothing sewing patterns of the early hippie seventies.

Purr-fect
Zora – New Triumph Tiger patch added to my boiler suit. Well the kitty decided to make a bed of it. Sleepy eyed finely whiskered feline.

Annual Goals
NYR – New Year’s Resolutions: the time of year when you need to take stock and wistfully ponder on what the heck you got up to and wonder what bedevilment you can get up to in the ensuing year. Here’s mine: project; new bike; travel; go places with my lass.

Trident
Three in a Row – Superbike of the Seventies: the swarthy triple was a suitable power ride back in its day… possibly not up there with the new kids on the block Honda CB750 or the Kawasaki KZ900 but the engine has ample racing heritage makes it a worthy steed.

Ho Ho Ho
Good ol’ Saint Nick – combination reindeer hack. What better way to get around on Christmas Even than a spotless Triumph Thunderbird ‘Bathtub’. The cars registration OV denote a Birmingham location, the bikes NX reg. pinpoint Dudley.

Hisss
Serpents Kick – brass pedal and hoof: some brutally ornate bobbers have bespoke components such as this well wrought kick-start lever. Something quite sinuously pleasing about it.

For Paw
Red in Snow – what a beaut! Ably illustrated Jaguar XK 120 in a period snowy village scene by the noted automotive artist Richard Wheatland . His work typically endows Christmas cards for the U.K. Motor Industry Benevolent Charity BEN. The hardtop sports coupe is the roadgoing record breaker which saw success on road and rallying competition. Nice Triumph Tiger in the background. I fancy a roast dinner washed down with a pint of bitter then an hour or two dozing in front of the Public House lounge fireplace…

Snow Tiger
Ski Do! Some danged northern State inventive motorcycle mechanic has adapted this current model 800 Tiger into a mean snow bike. Hefty ski up front with stout damper and a sharp spiked rear tire for traction across the icy wastes of Wisconsin trails or frozen Minnesotan lakes.

Winter is Here
Snow Days – the first white blankets of winter arrived over the weekend; perhaps I can use this ski tow as an exciting escape for seasonal fun! I’m sure the tires are spiked too!
