4Sprinting




I guess the Ariel Square 4 was just too tempting for tuners in the fifties and sixties , 1000cc and the revvy nature of a four .
Love the organic look to the pipes on the outfit .
It`s a shame you can`t see more of Pete Peters` bike .

Ewan




Found these pics while dicking around on the web . I have to say , whenever I see anything about Ewan McGregor , he always comes across as down to earth and a genuine old bike enthusiast , unlike some bandwagon jumping `celebrity` tosspots.
He also had the good sense to let Barons Speed Shop build his bike without too much customer input and it shows in the finished product (although the checked seat is a little naff).

More Squariel Superbness

If you`ve had the misfortune to read this blog before , you may know that I have a thing for these Square Fours . I doubt I`ll ever own one , maybe I`ll do that thing I was thinking of with a plunger A10 ,maybe not, no harm in looking though.

Rod and Custom



I love the simplicity of this Trump from the August 1960 edition of Rod and Custom . Less is definitely more.
I`d guess the tank is a one off and it looks like it has stock size 19" wheels with maybe a skinnier 3" or 2.75" tyre on the front .
Although a lot of bikes from this era seem to have sidemount headlights with a Bates bracket , I really like the way the bottom mount looks with the fork covers .
