With summer in full swing, let’s cool down a bit. I hope this image makes you feel like you’re standing in front of an air conditioner on full blast. That’s what it was like in Siberia at the Baikal Mile

I'm back today with another image from Cuba, but this time with a motorcycle - a beautiful Harley-Davidson Panhead parked in front of the Church of the Holy Trinity (Iglesia Parroquial de la Santísima) in the Plaza Mayor in old Trinidad on the southern coast of Cuba.

2009 - Havana, Cuba. Just to keep things fresh, I'm swapping the motorcycle you have come to expect from me for a rickshaw!

Dirty Jeff on his Flathead. England, 1984

I instantly loved this Flathead when I first saw it at the Kent Custom Bike Show in 1984, enough so that I met up with Dirty Jeff back in London after the show to do a full feature on the bike. It was light and compact and had great attitude. Jeff was one cool dude with a lot of character, and then her expression is awesome, absolutely in the moment and wonderful.
