Spot the Reedus – people on the Mighty Interweb have come up with classic photoshopped images using vintage photos, postcards or adverts dropping in Norman Reedus. This Johnson Motors Triumph ad is one such example, just needs his winged leather vest.

Stormin’ Norman – Reedus that is, zombie hunter, crossbow wielder, and motorcycle rider. Likes his Triumphs as see here with a Hammarhead Jack Pine set-up scrambler. A decent scoot for haring around an undead populated Georgia.

Riding Dead – we’re binge watching our way through six seasons of The Walking Dead. The wandering ‘biters’ just don’t stop. Unless they have their heads cudgeled in, chopped off with a katana, of blown through with a 45. Here is actress Lauren Cohan who portrays Maggie Greene at some promotional event on a Triumph Scrambler.

Daryl Dixon, (Norman Reedus) crossbow wielding Triumph Chopper rider looks on. Playboy bunnies are the backdrop. We shall continue over the weekend with Mr Reedus who likes his Brit Iron.

Patina is Everything – I’d keep the surface finished and merely wipe them all down with an oily rag. Make sure there’s compression and the brakes work and shocks give a supple ride then this sled would be a fun beast to pound a dusty lane on.

Road Worthy – So, after checking carburetor slides are moving in synchronicity a timing light can flash to ensure ignition sparks fire correctly. The bike should sound like a Swiss Watch. Fill ‘er up and get out on the road youth!

Utah – The Kirmington Kid adds a pinch of salt to his deeds of speedy derring do. He’s piloting a 1000bhp twin Rocket 3 engined sliver of a motorcycle across the famous Bonneville flats to get the streamlined two-wheeled record. Working up to a velocity north of the current 376mph record he took the carbon fiber sheathed cycle to 274mph in testing this week. A Triumph record!
