Not to mention the dreaded non-motorized rotary lawn mower I used to cut the grass with. This was quite a large lawn!
Across Merwin Avenue from the Long Island Sound shoreline, this was the world I grew up in.
A cropped image taken originally with an Kodak Instamatic 104 loaded up with a cartridge of 126 Verichrome Pan film.
This house still survives, but the tree fell during a hurricane in August 1976. Both sides of the home are now surrounded by brand new houses just feet away. That's typical of how this neighborhood has gone from semi-rural to totally suburban over the past several decades.
This old bike was just waiting to be snapped.

Just loved everything about this bicycle from the rusty bell, to the two baskets ...
Seen in Brighton ...
Wow look at this one!!
1947 BSA (M33-I think!) 496cc (500) single..
Bit of a 'barn find' I think.
Spoke to the owner rider who was dressed in gear from same time period!! He says it came to him as loads of bits in a box!
He put it all back together as a 'Covid 19' project and registered it in 2022!
Been using it as his main transport since..
He did say and you can see it, that it still is leaking oil from somewhere (puddle growing on floor!)
He said he has a couple of other similar bike projects going on at his home.
Seen at the services on M27 near Southampton! He was on his way to Norfolk I think he said!
I did ask if I could take some pictures!!

Mr Little Larry The Monkey thinks this is big fun.
Back where we've been parking lately I found a
tricky but doable narrow path into the m/c field.
Figured I was way trickier and have the skill to
outmaneuver mr murphy. And actually I did ;-)
Notice the grass in this isle has been cut.
What I did was a slow slalom course through
the isles on both sides until I did a u-turn and
arrived right here. Good place 2 stop and start
walking. Notice all the long grass I picked up on
the way to this point. The dogs ran around for a
good hour getting muddy and stinky from rolling
in the manure sacks under the palm oil trees. But
that is no big deal, they will be hosed down once
we return to base camp... A stop was made at the
village gas station and purchased one liter of fuel
then made our way home, which only takes a few
minutes from there. Upon our arrival the dogs and
scooter/sidecar are hosed down, lots of mud came
off the dogs and scooter.... This morning the starter
has started acting up. Now remember the bike's old
just like me. Can't remember but I think it's 15 yrs old.
Anyway now I'm just babbling due to lack of sleep.
Coffee pot exploded around 11:PM last night and
I'm standing right next to it with no shirt on ;-0---
Finally after 3:AM I feel asleep and was up and
gone around 6:AM. There's some squiggly
red marks on my belly but no heavy
blistering that I can see ;-)---
Time for my nap time now.
Catch ya on the rebound.
Thank You.

I revisited Rusty Spokes in Pacific Beach ( Thanks Ant for the inspiration ;-D ) ~ They have new bikes there too..however those old rusty ones are so cool too ;-D Enjoy !
The finished product to emulate the original advertising shot in the 1980`s to mark the launch of the mighty Hesketh v twin.This is almost an exact copy of the original.I have no idea who the original model was and no one else seems to either.
The engine is actually two Weslake speedway engines grafted on to a common crankcase.
Many thanks to the lovely Jerry for all her work on this shot(and for being the model)
Special thanks also to Bob and Meg,the owners of the wonderful Hesketh V1000.

The project was inspired by Lord Hesketh, who planned to revive the failing British motorcycle industry and at the time had a background of F1 racing being the last private team to win a Formula One Grand Prix, with James Hunt at the wheel. Lord Hesketh wanted to use the skills and facilities built up in that pursuit to greater effect and production of a quality motorcycle was born.
The Hesketh motorcycle was developed on the Easton Neston estate, with the prototype running in the spring of 1980 using a special Weslake engine. The V-twin V1000 (based loosely on the marketing panache of the Vincent Motorcycle), offered all sorts of advances; for example, it was the first British bike with four valves per cylinder and twin overhead camshafts (although commonplace in Japanese machines).
