Triple Cool

What could be more hip than these three tootling about the set of The Great Escape on this German Rig. McQueen 'Hilts' driving; Garner 'The Scrounger' pillion and Coburn 'Sedgwick' sitting lazily in the chair. Director John Sturges looks on.

Apple Green, Rose Red and Triumph Orange

Looking into different variations of a warm orange colour scheme for my new tank: a fiery glow to show off the bike. It has been a staple tone for the Big T for over fifty years: from the first Bonnie; the X75 special in the seventies; through the nineties Hinckley triples to the modern naked sports bikes.

tic-toc

A timepiece bearing the Triumph logo as well as numerous timing, countdown, stopwatch, and alarm functions. Chunky like a James Bond chronograph..

..or something for the Interational traveller perhaps; complete with a second timezone.

Or a little more sophisticated; suits you sir?

The Sun Never Sets...

Around the World across the British Empire the Triumph was considered the chosen transporation for checking in on the locals. "How's the bean crop coming on Carhurst?"

A short docu-film by Matt Harrington: "Machine". Super cinematography, editing and subject.

Mustang Driver

Last weekend our trip to Upstate NY was meant to be taken driving about in a Mini Cooper Convertible; true Michael Caine style! However the rental place was out of them :-(  Not to worry, they had as an alternate a Black Ford Mustang Ragtop... what could we do? I had to take it, then I could be McQueen-bound a la Bullitt careening around the streets of Manhattan and lanes of the Berkshires! Nope it wasn't as punchy as his '68 Fastback 390 c.i. Mustang, but I had fun on the curvy roads nonetheless!

Catch Me

Red-Headed, Eye-Patched Vixen of the Road. Sailors Beware!

Would make a great upper arm tat; but alas my better 'alf would kill me!
