1936 Hetchins Brilliant No. 1
Frame No. 64260 | An Exceptional Survivor
A remarkable survivor from the earliest years of one of Britain's most celebrated lightweight bicycle manufacturers.
Built in April 1936, this Hetchins Brilliant No. 1 represents an important chapter in British cycling history. One of a small number of surviving examples from this pioneering period, it embodies the craftsmanship and innovation that established Hetchins' reputation.
Its provenance is particularly noteworthy. The original Hetchins ledger records W. R. Jones of Dagenham, dated 25 July 1936, providing a rare, documented connection to its first recorded owner.

Wife and I have a thing, if one of us turns a light on the other will hiss like a vampire. Had to rein that in after we were alone in a lift when the doors opened to the bright afternoon sun and I instinctively hissed at the bewildered middle-aged woman stood waiting.

This is a restored Triumph TR6C, an original “Desert Sled,” the model that dominated California off-road motorcycle racing long before the two-strokes from Husqvarna and then from the Japanese arrived and made everything a whole lot more buzzy.

I completed an ancestry DNA test thing for a bit of fun, and discovered I had a half sibling. Worked out my dad of 47 years wasn't my biological dad. Didn't have an inkling. Haven't been able to bring myself to tell anyone. Heads in a blender. Think hard before you do one.

It brings me great pleasure on long motorway drives to respond to the warnings of 'police ahead' on Waze/Google Maps by saying they're no longer there, when in actual fact they're still there dishing out speeding tickets. If you speed, you deserve it.

Why do Americans have no trouble saying Italy or Israel but pronounce Iran and Iraq as EYE-ran, EYE-raq????
