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
19 year old Princess Elizabeth riding slalom on a military 250cc BSA during the Second World War as part of the ATS (Auxilliary Territorial Service). Her main role was maintaining ambulances and ’tilly trucks.
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.
I have always said: “there’s nothing quite like putting on a fresh pair of socks.”
Plush and padded for boots here is a pair for the Triumph enthusiast.
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.
Sunday evening humor- let’s round the weekend off with some fun. My current spate of expensive dental work is a big close to the mark with this pithy ‘toon.
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!
Sun and Seventies forecast for the weekend so the first ride of the year is planned. This gal is tearing out at speed to the coming Saturday…
Top Gun: this ebony black and blood red Ninja was my ride in the mid two thousands. For a twenty year old bike (at the time) it pulled like a train with the heart of an atom bomb. The Good Times Rolled on that one!
It’s not easy being green: so says our favorite amphibian muppet. But we can have fun whilst donning a verdant hue! Here’s my Kawasaki ZX6 from 15 years ago which was my sole transportation in Chicago at the time. It had a beefy growl as the speed picked up with the ram air intake, and the Micron pipe I put on added to the engines accompanying bass percussion. Loved that moto!
To ensure a smooth transition from the start of the week to its tail end then good suspension is essential.
“Поехали! Lets Go!” 55 years ago this enthusiastic Soviet test Pilot got into a cramped sphere atop a rocket and blasted off for an orbit of the earth and into the history books. Kedr (Cedar -Siberian Pine) was his call name, Vostok 1 (East 1) his ship.
Get yer leathers on, quiff your pompadour, spanner at the ready to nip-up loose bolts, a rag to mop the winter oil pool, and a fresh tank of petrol then spring roads await!
Quiff your hair
Strider- that’s Robert Plants hound sitting across the tank of this old motorcycle at the bands welsh retreat in rural Gwynedd.

EDC Every Day Carry. Here’s my new pocket knife, a strong carbon steel bladed thin profiled locking knife. Made in Solingen Germany. Known as the Mercator Black Cat, a design unchanged for over a century, it arrived wrapped up in waxed brown paper esconsed in a sturdy cardboard box. Nice sharp tool.
