A Ride on the Wild Side

– here’s some adventurer scooting along the truckers route between Fairbanks and Prudhoe Bay. Also known as The Dalton Highway. I’d love to take the Big Kitteh along this road.
Eight Fifty

– Today saw the launching of a base model 900 Tiger. More road-centric than the Rally model it’s aimed at the city commuters and Highway or A road tourists. Diablo Red or Caspian Blue are the color options.
The Rozzer

– As Judge Dredd keeps patrol over Mega City One so does the Lion heralded law enforcement of Brit Cit rove the southern England spanning conurbation of the 22nd Century.
Relocation

– a quick alteration to shift the indicators from their lower, and exposed, position to a placement just off the headlight. The old location is replaced with a small flush Union Flag motif LED light. Kit made by Terry Harrison in the UK.
Over rock, through stream and up brae…

– my nephew took ownership of his new trials bike today. A 280 Aprilia Climber. A super fun looking ‘farm tool’ where he can learn balance; throttle and clutch control.

Cobbles

Assassins in the City. With blacked out visor and matching leathers here’s a femme fatale using the dual sport Tiger to chase down targets. Double oh?
1001 Nights

– woven art for the floor or wall. The intricate patterns are unique to the region they come from. Aladdin also travelled the Arabian real on a carpenter wafting upon a desert breeze.
The Unforgotten

.. although the legacy of The Great War is of death and pain some of ‘the lads’ did find camaraderie with the mundane tasks to keep the military machine running. Here are despatch riders from the Royal Signal Corp having a jolly old time keeping their Triumph Model H’s on the road.
Winter’s Coming

– it’s nearly the time of year to get the warm clothing out. Tonight the temperatures drop from a record high of the mid seventies to the low thirties. Wrap-up folks! Photo taken in DuKalb IL.
Fluorescent Jacket

– I managed to take a shot of Dean zooming along Melvin Amstutz Highway near Waukegan.

– with November temperatures in the upper sixties a smashing couple of hundred mile loop was undertaken over in DuKalb and McHenry counties. Rolling farmland along old Midwestern routes such as “Plank Road” and “”Lincoln Highway”. Red barns is various degrees of decrepitude sprinkled the rural scene. Oh, and Trump lost reelection- all in all a pretty pretty pretty good day.
Forty years ago today…

TRIBUTE TO STEVE MCQUEEN
March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980
Between a Wing and a Prayer

– the de Havilland Tiger Moth was developed in the 30’s as a training aircraft. There are still examples that are operated due to unexcitable characteristics powered by the sturdy Gipsy engine. This example is set to race a Triumph Tiger.
Anonymous

– a 16th Century Catholic conspirator became the symbol of postmodern anarchism with the mask of anonymity. The individual biker is an appropriate use of the effigies face.
