Three things of note

First, an update on the world traveler already featured (with linky to the right) on this prestigious blog of motorcycle feats and true stories. Go here for more: The woman aiming to be the youngest to travel the world by motorcycle | CNN Travel

Of course, the photojournalist failed to get the bike shot from the lefthand side that features a Red Wing Ironworks Motorbike Club sticker. (For the record, we have way better photojournalist at work for us,)

Second, Motorcycle Movie Night is set for 7 P.M. December 10 at Bill's Rising Sun Dive Bar. No holiday MMN could be complete without the traditional "Get Ride of Your Crap" gift exchange. (Used condoms prohibited.) Yep, this is our version of the white elephant gift exchange, and believe me, we have passed off some clunkers. No cover charge before 8 P.M.

Third, here is a picture of me atop Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa with our new best friend from the Isle of Man. Everyone, this is Ed. Ed, this is everyone.

A few from waaaay down there

 In South Africa, specifically Cape Town. Odds and ends spotted out and about.

Near the waterfront.

Not a "biker bar" but more for cafe racers.

This is how pizza and everything else gets delivered in Cape Town.
 These things are everywhere.

Friendliest Triumph staffer in Cape Town, Zander V. (on left).
See this guy for the ins and outs of riding in Cape Town region.

Inside at the House of Machines in
downtown Cape Town.

Old Beemer rat bike at Woodstock Brewery.
Good beer, too. Bob Dylan was not there.

Scooters? Yep, Vespa dealer in the Cape Town Bo-Kop district.

Another scooter. Another Vespa in the Central Business District.

Not sure who Big Boy is, but he makes plenty of these.
And they are everywhere delivering everything. Not an oil leak: I think someone peed under the bike.
