triton. manx screen, bar end mirror. tank strap.

falcon gasser again, love this car.

went for a ride on the sporty today, just ambling around, no destination in mind, police on the wirksworth road at idridghay, police on the 515 at pikehall, [the infamous hand painted blue builders van], police at newhaven, [volvo, followed me all the way to the 515/a6 link road, but respect due, he didn't pull me even though i had my 5 x 7 reg plate and no indicators and supertrapp full race system in full view, he just made it very uncomfortable as i had to stick to 50 and as you know it's a long way between newhaven and buxton], police on the a6, [layby on right just as you approach the dual carriageway, police in bakewell, [haddon hall], i made my way back over to ashbourne and onto the road from hulland ward to derby, through weston underwood and gunned it through the bends, past kedleston hall, road deserted, going for it now, no police, just me, guess they were in the wrong place this time, or perhaps i was just in the right place at the right time.

daily utagawa kuniyoshi woodblock print.

mint cafe racer, look how low the clip- ons are, bit of an audience in the backgound but i don't think it's a race meeting as the guy is wearing jeans, brogues and a fairisle jumper for protection, just beats alpinestars into the ground in the killer kool stakes that's for sure.

amen to that brother! [everyone knows the devil has the best tunes anyway]

don't have any info on this little honda, don't think it has any racing history, the tanks too wide and swoopy, [they tended to be long and square on the factory racers], the seat too screams 'italian' to me, nevertheless, a lovely little bike.

beautiful woodblock print by kuniyoshi utagana, i'm looking at this type of art all the time at the minute, there's so much going on in this type of japanese classic art, cool.

cool black chick on chopper, not sure they got the rake right, back in the day they used to build motorcycles like that, lonnngggg front end in un-raked frame, somehow, with time, it just looks so right now.
