A long morning in the saddle up into Wisconsin with fair weather and a stop at Morries Place to see the British motorcycle wizard Ed Zender. Brunch at Twin Lakes WI. Bonnie’s running like tops (for the most part).

if a Norton falls in a forest…
and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
New exhaust pipe arrived today. There will be some pipe bending needed still to get it around the oil tank and rear frame tube… These homebuilt trials machines all run into fitting snags…
Nevertheless we’re onto the home stretch I believe!

Cats Perch
Triumph Cub painting settles a ruby Cub parked in some country cottage yard. Barrel catching roof runoff caught from the distant gloomy skies downpour. Holly bush denotes ancient sacred ground or border marker. A greenhouse offers protected warmth for prize winning flowers to display at an upcoming agricultural show.
Meanwhile the cat sleeps on contentedly…

We all feel like these workers sometimes… Especially Sunday evening with a work week ahead of us… One last memory of a weekend ride!

Sunny Smiles
Perfect, perfect, perfect. Saturday morning ride in wonderful conditions. Cool shade and warm sun. Bike running well and traffic very light. The wee ravines along the north shore offered some enjoyable moderate sweeping curves. It fuels the mind, body and soul. August days…

“you know nothing Jon Snow!”
Apart from what a good motorcycle is… Looking countrified for a GQ cover here’s actor Kit Harington with a black Bonnie ready to take on The Great North Road.
Ready to take on the White Walkers..

Red Leather
Hot day today. Low nineties. Out and about and saw this dude. He’s decided to keep cool on his mighty ruby slipper red hog: breeze across his shoulders sure must feel good. Well if ye dinnae want te wear a leather jacket in the midday sun…. Just grow yer own! Those wee moc loafers suit his attire too…

¡Red Alert!
Triumph speed blooded Thruxton is crying out for a full fairing. But it has to be done very carefully unless it will look like a hashed bin bolted on. This example is var nigh perfect. For sale locally for $11,000 at Motoworks…

Wheels Real
Putting plans into action for the next Bonnie upgrade. The standard steel rims add a lot of unsparing weight to the bike and as was done in ‘the day’ I’m going to get hold of some hubs and lace ’em to alloy rims then shod the new lighter wheel with modern rubber.

Oiler
I’ve relocated the screw on oil filter to a more accessible position just above the gearbox. Piping runs smoothly and keeping the precious lubricant clean is an easier task.

Seventy ‘n’ Scootering
Everyone’s favorite Dame Helen Mirren turns 70 today. The closest image I can find of her on two-wheels is at this premier of the film Brighton Rock in 2011. The red carpet ain’t looked so good!

Dog Days of Summer
Hot, hot day here in the Midwest. A short ride to try a blow a waft of cool air across the back. The odd spot along the lagoons and one or two sections where Lake Michigan touches the leafy ravines offered respite.

wheel aloft
Mai Lin pulls a mean wheelie on a Triumph Speed Triple. White leathers and white high heels. Hair flying and one wheel spinning. The red bike closes the deal!
