LIFE THROUGH A LENS

Some great photos of a life with bikes from Graham at Beverley. The supercharged A10 is a long term project of his brother David who does have a pretty valid excuse for not having finished it, see  here

GAWD BLESS YER MA'AM

Ma'am like spam.

SPRUNGHUB AND HARDTAIL

I bought this Thunderbird unseen from a bloke in Cornwall with no mobile phone and no computer, it sounded OK, from the photo (top) either it was very small or he had huge hands. He said he was too old to ride it any more, i didnt tell him he was 3 years younger than me.
 I did a mile on it then pulled it apart a bit for a cosmetic makeover. Looks like France at the end of the month so long as we don't travel by night..

JUNE

TT time. If you're going you are probably already on the way hoping it's not going to piss down all week. Will the detemination of George Dance win him the sepia Senior ? and have you remembered to pack your suit and weskit?

Come and make an arse of yourself at the Farmyard Party on the 15th/16th. Reliant trikes, smelly fires, blokes dressed as women, tribute bands and big eyed twats bouncing jap 4s off the rev limiter in the middle of the night, oh and probably mud. But lovely roads to ride on, Helmsley market place, cheap beer and look at the view....and every now and then a engine goes bang at 4 in the morning, which is nice.
Get home sharpish Sunday for Fathers Day presents and my Wedding Anniversary but you could stop off at Ash's Fathers Day Retro meet at Wombleton (about 5 miles out of Helmsley).

Finally there's a 1,400 mile round trip from Malton to Jars on a dripping old Triumph. Rode the chop for about four hours last Friday............
Might take July off.

DIAMOND JUBILEE 500

Old Empire Motorcycles' Falcon inspired Royal Enfield at Coventry Stadium. Bang tidy.

THE TUEDSAY TRITONS

Looking for love.

NAIL GUN

Modern Triumph chops are not really my thing but Nail's Thunderbird has to be the exception.

HANDLEBAR ORIGINAL

Jon sent this photo from the Handlebar in Singapore where he "found himself" last night, i don't think he means spiritually. Panhead beer or Margheritas mixed by a 4 stroke engine, also sent me a link to his mate Shaun's webpage, some clever stuff going on here.

HOT PARTS

Some prettier than others... You want some stickers ? mail me photos to tri650@live.co.uk with your address.

BLOG POST RE-BORN

Due to I phones being too stupid for words yesterdays post got deleted so here 'tis again. Destiny Cycles Carousel on course for Beaulieu in a few weeks. Heard a rumour that they may have a blog of their own soon so get your shades ready.

CHOPPER RE-BORN

I spoke briefly to Rod before the chopper race on Saturday, he told me he had built the bike in 1985 but back then it had two engines and was pink, straight away i remembered it, even had a photo of it on my computer from a BSH feature in 1989. He cut it up and rebuilt it as a more conventional chop a long time ago and it has sat in a corner for the last few years. Now he has new plans and enthusiasm..

COFFIN CHEATER

Survivor from the North East. Frame with V5c (frame sold still got V5c), 1963 original number (not original frame), 350 T21 engine looks complete and good but will need stripping.
