Lights
Putting up the Christmas Tree and the annual unraveling and bulb replacing, cursing and bauble draping. Here’s a Triumph being ridden on the movie set of Nerve. 
Dave Franco and Emma Roberts scoot in front of the camera with a blue illuminated Bonnie.
Knobbly tires, no fender, black-on-black: yup an urban tool.

Cake
It’s the time of year when food is enjoyed. And I like a good slice of cake!
There are some great decorators out there who can achieve some smashing stuff with fondant icing.
Michael Bonnie is a cherry on this cake; hopefully enjoyed with a good cup of tea.
A vintage bikers dream. Al must enjoy wrenching.
BSA Goldstar. Cafe racers are know to like a wedge of gateaux after a spin along the North Circular.

The Christmas Shoes
Supermodel takes on a super model: that is a a gal on a photo shoot with the classic lines of a sixties Bonneville. Here is Gigi Hadid who, at twenty, is a mere slip of a thing in the world of glamour.
I prefer a pair of Doc Martens than pink Manoli Blahniks…up shifting might be a bit graunchy!
(If you want to see the worst music video ever… Here)

North or Bust
North Pole Bound? You are when heading along the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay. It’s a dusty gravel road which when sprayed down for the trucks can your you into a chocolate bunny riding a motorcycle. This is Australian Denis Devlin on his trailered Bonneville coated with Arctic dirt. 666km long with 24 hour daylight in summer…
More Easter than Xmas; Brer Rabbit ‘haring ‘ along.

Chocaholic
Today’s advent door reveals a chocolate bike. Cadburys is the best milk chocolate for this to be made with. It also reminds me of the selection boxes you’d get…

Interested?
December 1st and Yule is approaching so I’ll look for some seasonal items to post. This late forties ad promoting models that won trials competition should suffice for now.

I am the Law!
Let’s bust into this week with Joe Dredd roaring his Lawmaster through the page. Classic Brian Bolland artwork that has never been bettered.

Giddy Up
Just back from a few days in the Southwest. What you need down there is horse power…

Twins
We’re in New Mexico for a few days so here’s an image that has an echo of the past… A pair of old wagon train codgers captured in an old ink etching on display at the art museum in Taos.
I love line work as fluid and expressive as this.

Words
With my Geordie Biker blog postings linked to Facebook then the word use count obviously picks up the Moto-oriented writings. Surprise surprise that Triumph is #1…

Reborn
This is the centerpiece of the show: T120R Bonneville. It’s exciting, nimble looking, beautifully executed and is a visual clone to the sublime ’68 Bonnie. From a narrow corseted waist that you experience when sitting on, to the appearance of the engine with hints of Edward Turners original twin from the 30’s.
Silver and crimson separated by a gold pinstripe. Knee pads to hug the tank when whittling along curvy roads. Fuel injected engine with a suite of mapping for different road conditions behind the Amal look alike Concentrics; just needs a tickler button.
Named fender support fork brace, rubber bellow fork boots, twin clocks and a beautiful headlight offer a clean prow.
Even from the rear the hourglass shape is evident. A generous pillion loop allows two-up fun; hopefully a lively 1200cc motor will mean ease of passenger carrying.
Bonnie is Back!

My name is Julius and I am your tvin brudder!
The new smaller sibling to the 1200cc Bonnie’s is the Street Twin. A 900cc model that will be supported by a hefty catalogue of customization parts to suit any hip rider. It should be a nimble tool for city zipping and backroad scratching alike.
The black on black was subtle and the cherry bomb red cool too. They should attract a new wave of Triumph owners!

Party time
Early snowstorm blew a wintry atmosphere to the Bonneville launch event being held in the multipurpose space Revel on Fulton Market in the old meat packing district. The big trailer on its first night of a countrywide tour displayed its ‘livestock’ across its broad side and rear. Bonneville Triumph projected through the sleet onto an adjacent building.
Inside we were warmly welcomed with a ‘goody-bag’ of a seasonably appropriate wool hat, Bonneville embossed leather key fob, and a beer bottle foam holder. Local microbrew beers were on offer. The amber IPA was perfect for wandering the rooms with like-minded bike fans.
Music was deejayed and stylalized film showing the motos in action projected onto the walls between indigo spotlights.
Cheers Triumph!
