Cartoon for life

Look out! world champ on a calendar with a mega top!

Jorge Lorenzo has appeared on a 2010 calendar by the guys of Barracuda on this hot calendar with Tatiana, who I unfortunately had never seen before... but who I hope to see in the future!

Mötley Crüe - Gals, gals, gals...

This could be the perfect soundtrack of this bog...

Sorry for the censored pussies but you know I wouldn't censor them at any time... seems a vagina it's too offensive to be shown but we can see dead people at lunch time on the news...

Did you know about the other Triumphs?

The other day I discovered one of those things one think couldn't have left behind in one's life. I don't know how many of you guys knew there was a second Triumph originally from the first one that we all know and that is widely treated in this blog.

Siegfried Bettman known as Triumph founder made his first factory in Coventry, UK, and the rest of the story is more or less known by most of us. However, he also made a second factory in Nuremberg, Germany. Both companies started making bicycles at the beginning and it wasn't until 1902 that Triumph made it first motorbike. A year later, the year of the creation of Harley Davidson, Triumph created it first motorbike in the Nuremberg's factory. Due to legal reasons, both factories were seen as different and subsequently couldn't have the same name so the opted for TWN (Triumph Werke Nürnberg) and the moped on the top of this is an example of those bikes.

Here's the Boss TWM. Isn't it similar to a T100? to a Bonneville? I think it's beautiful and it should be a great bike for that time. If you want to know more about them you can see this link as we all trust wikipedia. If you don't just google these bikes or look for something else. I will continue to inform myself in the future about these new known bike for me.

Remember that if you want to share your pics or comments or just want to say how stupid I am for not knowing these bikes just drop some info in my e-mail!

Doro Pesch - the Metal Queen!

There are two kind of metalheads only; those who know former Warlock singer: Doro, and the few stupid who don't. This german blonde got my attention since I was a kid and I admit to have always been in love with her as she is one of those gals who we all want to have at the back seat of our irons but... she rides alone.

Motorcycle History

It's amazing how motorcycle maniacs sometimes ignore the old taste of a bike. We might like classic type bikes but we certainly ignore the basement of all that. The creation of the bike as we know it today is still uncertain but we know there are several evidences of when it started and by whom. However, I have heard that more than one has been considered to that honour. It doesn't correspond to me to decide that, I'm a humble man and I just feel grateful for the motorcycle history which I find a total revolution like trains, cars, planes and all those smoky devices. Motorcycle, from my point of view, are more related to horses than to bicycles, but who am I to judge anything?

I can't imagine the World War II without motorcycles and I think by that time -nothing that comes to now- war between motorcycle companies; Indians, BMWs, Harley Davidsons, Triumphs, Nortons and everyone trying to sell bikes to the armies in battle. Riders fighting on motorcycles in a more agile way that other vehicles.

Many of the bikes of that time started being motor bicycles and adding an engine to that known structure was someting; redisigning the whole machine into a more efficient and poweful iron was another aim of a much higher difficulty but impossible to be made unlees the previous stage. But all of them looked enourmously beautiful to me so I imagine those first engineers like artists in the biggest sense of the word. If you don't believe me just to at this 1923 BMW R32.

Since then, motorcycle world has never stopped its particular evolution and has come with better machines. To me, some of them still have the same old spirit, others have all the techonology, and only a few of them have everything. In gals and bikes we are also going to show this old spirity of motorcycling, so important for me that I write these things, and for you I guess, who reads them.

Down by the mud

It's not a surprise I like the custom and cruiser like bikes. Also choppers but I find them of no use in my daily life and I don't have the money to afford another bike. Mud is not a good friend of any bikes and specially not of a cruiser but there's no other option sometimes. I was riding on a lonely secondary road, those I like most, and I found the tarmack full of mud, stones and dirt because of the strong rain falls on the previous days that nobody had cleaned. The first contact with mud was good. My bike drifted a bit, my galfriend felt a bit insecure for a second and that was all. Then I got used to find mud from time to time and that was when the problem started. We fell down. Nothing bad at the end, a bit of pain in knees and elbows and that's all but never lose concentration on a bike!

My iron is much better than me, nothing happened to the bike and nothing was broken so at least I must be happy. My gal and me went back home to have a showe and to take out mud from our trousers, jackets, gloves...
