Gorgeous spring weather and a loop around Lake Geneva just across the state line into Wisconsin. I stopped in at Yerkes Observatory with its beautiful architecture. It’s open for tours now (though not today on the Easter weekend. Splendid day out.

Put the kettle on!
55 years ago today was when the works of Motorsport lost one of the greats. Jim Clark, Scottish farmer, and driver of fast cars crashed at Hockenheimring end what would surely have been the greatest racier of all time.

Pontiac Muscle
Bottle green with a V8 Big Block good for 500 lb ft of torque and 360 horsepower. Spied on Devon Avenue on my drive home. “Mid-size” in its day! Loverly, just.

STOP
Spring weather on a Sunday means “let’s get the bikes oot!” Oil change then a spin north to Lake Bluff for a coffee and scone. Many bikers were out too!
“Ooh. Stop!
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah”

Pineapple Posing
Hardtail chopper using a pre-unit Triumph motor is photographed like a prized possession. Bikini clad model says its two-wheeled summer fun ahead. Weather is improving here in the Midwest and a Sunday ride is planned. Pina Colada anyone?

So said Chuck Yeager in his Bell X-1 jet ‘Glamorous Glennis’ over Muroc Field in 1947 when bustin’ through the sound barrier. Mach 1. Here’s a ‘47 T100 Triumph stretched and geared to climb steep hills.

The models currently available from Triumph offer diverse riding styles. From Superbike fast; to rugged adventure; and distinguished classic. All quite marvelous.

Confounding Contraptions
Whenever overly complicated and seemingly unnecessarily contrived machines are required then there in no one better call than from the drawing desk of cartoonist William Heath Robinson. His whimsical inventions were improbable, rickety machine barely kept going by incessant tinkering.

Farkles and Gewgaws
Accessorize the ride. A plethora of fixin’s to spruce up the bike. From a studded kidney belt, to Davy Crockett tail tassels. I’d rather just leave the Triumph we’ll enough alone.

Cut from a Different Cloth
Such was the catch phrase of comedian Dick Emery, whose ribald humor was very much of its day. He was also an avid motorcyclist riding big powerful machines such as this Kawasaki, BMW R90’s and Honda 750’s.
