Ah, it's that time again, time for some more reflection on the past three weeks, and what this is going to mean to the world. So while you are dealing with the big issues, here's this weeks blog to perhaps take your mind away from the harsh realities of life, and indulge in a bit of escapism, just for a bit. So go grab a bourbon, whiskey, or what ever it is you indulge in and take some time to take some time.
You know it still amazes me, when I look at all the images that pass over my desktop, it just how many talented bastards there are out there, the guys that spend a week just making a bracket, and stay, a knurled dust cap, just to ensure that their build is perfect. I consider myself a bit of a backyard builder, I do like perfection, but sometimes I am not able to attain that, just through lack of knowledge, but never let it be said that won't stop me. But honestly, just check the images out and see what clever bastards we have in this world. I find it totally uplifting, that we have people who can craft out of metal, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and weld so beautifully, and I guess that's why this blog is here, to celebrate those people.


Now while I have been sitting here thinking about life, the universe and everything, I got to thinking, one last big motorcycle adventure, I mean we have Grand Prix riders, world superbike riders, Daytona riders, international motocross riders, works grand prix mechanics, and some of the most amazing technical people ever to grace the face of this planet and all in the ranks of the lizards. Why not have a world land speed record in the mix? I'll just leave this image here for you to ponder. How fast can a lizard go?













 One way to park I suppose.





Where have all the Martins gone?


















 One of the nicest tail units to come along


 They are just so honest
 Jesus wept and went to heaven














 Things do go better with Coke





Standard is looking pretty bloody good these days, I mean how nice is this?
 Biff, Whack, thud,





























 Nice Garage


 This is the prototype of the GTS, lovely motorcycle


 A couple of nice concepts for a Guzzi
 This man has a lovely collection of Guzzi, well done you.














































































































I think my SL is in there somewhere haha





































 Style and grace, all in one dynamite package.











 Want..........













 I recall when these came out, we were blown away literally in F3, fast and gorgeous




 To this day, I miss my GT, one of the nicest bikes to ride, ever, style grace, comfort, this machine has it all, that's why they cost so much to buy now.











Right that's all for this week, I'm just gonna slide right on out of here and get this isolation thing done and dusted. See you all next week. As usual, like, share follow, what ever see you
