Camera and Coffee

I had a late 60's Triumph Spitfire for awhile, it never gave me electrical trouble. Maybe some previous owner had replaced the innards?
I still miss "sitting on the ground" and hearing that throaty "Vrooooom".

D2,
I remember my best friend had a BSA 650 "dirt-bike" with the high exhaust. It went really well on steep up-hill climbs with it's thumpa'-thumpa'. But I had a new (1973) Suzuki 185cc Sierra trail bike that would run away from his BSA on whoops and bouncing desert trails. That lightweight and new suspension worked great flying along. He had a whole set of Whitworth wrenchs for working on his thumper.
And at the end of a hot day of desert riding, we'd stop for a tall cool beer - for .25 cents.
Ahhhh, those were the days ~ ; - )

My Jag has pretty feeble windshield wipers. They slowly creek across the windshield. I guess it never rains in Britan. There is a motor with gearbox that drives a cable to acuate the wipers. The gear in the box is about 4 inches in diameter and plastic. If you try to run the wipers on a slightly dry windshield, the plastic gear strips it teeth, and it's no longer made. I guess I need to take my plastic one in and have a brass gear cut. But the cars and bikes are tops in styling.

The red is a 1950s era enamel table.

rover, yeah a real worklight with metal cage in front.

most of my camera shots were taken with this set up.
