Looks like a scene from a James Bond movie!

Yes they seemed to spend more time choosing their bikes than they did to steal them.

when the boardwalk narrows I start to wonder where exactly is my rear wheel planted?...especially on my touring bike in the rain.

 

[steve mercier]

more relaxing indeed

car of the day is this Triumph TR 250

 

[steve mercier]

These were only made for one year. They bridge the TR 4 and the the TR 6 and had a 6 cyl motor. My uncle (R. I. P. ) had one of these and he paid me the princely sum of $1 to wash it on Saturdays.

I need to move.

Just heard from @RandallS that Calgary received a dump of snow. Not more than a flake or two here. Go figure.

Beautiful, area.
It boggles the mind what that parcel of land would be worth to land developers (not that I am advocating for that in any way).
I am sure most cities have similar issues, but Greater Vancouver land values are absolutely insane.

So what year was it? Late 60s ... Early 70s ?

 

[Saratoga Dave]

They were so cool, the whole TR4, TR-4A and TR-250/TR-5. The TR-6 came after, maybe 1969 or 1970 and was really a different car.

The 4 was early to mid 60s, the 4A maybe 66-67 or thereabouts, and the 250 in 68, maybe 67 as well, the last year of the fabulous Austin Healey 3000.

The Triumph Spitfire was built pretty much across most of second half of the decade and was even smaller and maybe even more fun, till it caught fire, which pretty much was a standard thing. My 1966 caught fire in the switches in the steering column driving through town one evening and I continued across town with flames coming out of the steering wheel until the lights went out. All very routine with these things, but how much fun it was!

Lucas electrics...gotta love 'em!

 

[Saratoga Dave]

Between the Lucas electrics and the Jaeger gauges, you never had a clue what was going on, but it was fun to drive and on a Spitfire, you never used the doors... just jump over and into the driver’s seat. Those WERE the days.
