STREET FIGHTIN' MAN

Original factory streetfighter, the mighty zed thou; here's one given the backyard 'fighter treatment with 3-spokes and tricked-out suspension, brakes, swinger etc. When the bike comes out the shop looking as good as these old kwakas, you don't have to do much to 'em.

zim zimmer,'oo got de key for me bimmer?

So went a UK jungle 'choon' from a few years ago, quite good as it goes, but give me some Maiden any day.

A dodgy title for a smart bike, not quite in the same league of cafe perfection as yesterday's brace of Tritons, but nice all the same. That view from the top looks especially good, with the clip-ons and chequered long tank. Nice bike.

KING TRITON

Variations on a theme- the quintessential British special. Thankyou Dave Degens.

Have a great weekend.

up the 'arris

Harris Magnum IV-Hand-made in Essex, super slick frames for hardcore jappers, race proven and streetfighter-cool. Inspired a generation of bikes from all the major manufacturers- it's not just Harley who nick their inspiration from the street.

1st klass

1st klass new bonnie chopper, that is. One of the best I've seen, for sure. L-O-W rider, how about that for ride height? That paint scheme really works for me too- simple but 2 cool.

Stolen from my favourite christchurch new bonneville afficianadoes, motochimp.

'S' to da 'O' to da 'A'

What's this? First dodgy 80s bands and now a laughable cable TV show? Has the blog gone mad?

OK, I admit it, I am a sad man, but I am MADE UP that the most excellent 'sons of anarchy' is back on freeview. Go on, admit it, you love it too, and covet the DVD box set just like I do.

Normal service resumed

Beat those Monday mornin' blues with some thoughts of springtime, longer days, and noisy teutonic cafe racers.

Thinking of BMWs- whose cars and bikes are both desirable, but in completely different ways-makes me wonder if there are there any other serious car manufacturers who also build proper bikes. I can't think of any...


I am allowed to daydream idly today, have just finished this term's finals, and have a day off work, and kids are in school. Back to college tonight, though.
