HAPPY EASTER TO ALL MY BLIP FRIENDS

Today is my father's birthday.  Had he lived, he'd be 108 y.o.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP!

It is Easter but it's also Motorhead Sunday.  And I can't think of a nicer present to share than a 1977 Triumph Bonneville "blokecycle."  I used to have one of these back in the day.....an earlier 60s model.  One of the nicest handling bikes I've ever owned.  I traded it in on a Norton Atlas 750.  Loved that bike too...but it wasn't as nimble as the Bonne but man did it rip up the asphalt bitumin.

A 650cc parallel vertical twin, carb tickler, 54 hp shaker with a wet, multi-plate clutch and a top speed of 110mph (177kph).  It had a manual kick starter that worked very well...except in the Springtime when I had to kick my a-double off before it decided that it wanted to go.  It had an honest to gosh compression release that was essential to getting it started.  But once going.....it was like I was born to ride it.  Fit me like that proverbial glove.

Here's a link to the entire history of the Bonneville from the first one to the present:
