Sixties Fab Fun: The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby Trike. Rebellious model kit for aspiring custom bike builders. An honorable mention to author Tom Wolfe and his new journalism writing style which evoked a vivid reality in a world of hallucinations.

Triumphant Pachyderm
World elephant day: saluting with a trunk hose down a Metzler tire’d motorcycle swooshes along under the trumpet fanfare.

Life’s Fun
Gotta just love those late fifties and early sixties ad men. They want the consumer of what they’re promoting to get out there and put a smile on their faces. Here a cute couple stroll hand in hand to a sweet little Baby Bonnie. The Tiger Cub.

Two of the Best
Enjoy the visual art that these two classic racing motors exude. The perfect balance of form & function with refinement to an engineering requirement achieved a purity in appearance. They both hold a special place in the history of motorcycles. The Norton International stamped its name on the gladiatorial stay circuit at the Isle of Man. The BSA Goldstar was the superbike of its day. If you wanted to be notices AND be at the front of the pack then this was your machine. DBD34

More Speed Vicar?
This Rickman framed Triumph stood out in proud orange at Ed’s shop. Next to it an immaculate pre-unit Bonneville. Both truly desirable bikes. But that repli-racer: it’s a stunner!
Ground-up concours restoration of an amaranth red Speed Twin. Sublime and worth gazing at for hours. Put it on a plinth and enjoy the artistry that was Meriden engineering at its best.
A hourglass figure as prepared on an X75 Hurricane. Craig Vetter inspired lines and color maje this much sought after machine a beauty to behold!
A Big Zed! Power in a Can… Just love this, one of the first giant slayer muscle bikes to come from the Far East. I’m going to have to build a bigger garage!

a Right Pair
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..

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…
