A Brace of Bonnies

After a stormy wet weekend, the sun finally got out late Sunday afternoon so I got out for a saunter up the north suburbs; joined by Dean Rennie on his '68 Bonnie. Cool air with bright light, perfect road. Super!

Colour of Orange


A photoshopped large (UK spec.) tank in orange on an OIF Bonnie. Just ruminating on a colour shift for the bike.

The Black Adder

Flippin' through a mag at the local supermarket I saw spied this chooper Triumph. A ride for Capt'n Blackadder I suppose?



"And in Genoa, 'tis now the fashion to pin a live frog to the shoulder braid, stand in a bucket and go "bibble" at passers by." Edmund Blackadder.

Here's a tasty close-up of the ultra clean engine and details; surgical in execution; lovely.

Maybe she's Bonnie with it!

A couple of evenings ago a commercial on TV had a couple of flashes of vintage Triumph whizz past a New York street scene; the advert was for eyeshadow by Maybelline... ... well what better moto to drape a eyelash fluttering model than a gorgeous aubergine and cream Bonnie?

Girl Power... ... on a Bonnie!

A strong message with this 60's advert: implying a Triumph gives you a sense of power! The gal is aloof aboard the bike with, what look like, her business, architect and sportman contemporary bretheren. Read into it what you will!
