I ride. Therefore I am. - Harley Davidson

You don't stop riding when you get old.

You get old when you stop riding.

Cats are the conoisseurs of comfort.

High speed communication in the pre-digital age.

 

This meticulous restoration brings back vivid memories of the fleet of young 

           GPO Telegram Delivery Boys 

who sped around every town and city.

In the days before instantaneous, digital communication person to person, when very few ordinary families had a private telephone,   the Telegram was the fastest means for sending important messages.

The final leg of the message's journey - from the local GPO (General Post Office) receiving office, where the cable was transcribed, to the address of the recipient, was undertaken by dashing young men on these zippy little motorbikes.

Parking at the Sunday meeting ....

... of the Plymouth Mid Life Crisis Support Group.

 

Scary?

Maybe. But you should see the rider.

The Odd Couple

A very cool cat

Four wheels move the body .....

.... but two wheels move the soul.

 

Match the man to the machine.

As well as the love of cruising the endless highway

the owner of this beauty must have a passion for polishing.

They don't make them like they used to.

A few days ago, the sight of this lovely Lambretta scooter turned back the years, to the summer of 1961.

A scooter like this, was the first motorised transport I owned.

I bought with savings from a summer vacation job when I was a student.

 Together with my friends, scooters opened a new stage of independence in our lives.

The weather has been dreadful lately but ....

 ....... rain is nature's way of telling you to stay home and polish.
