"Chachkas"
January 6, 2023

Biker kitsch. It's a thing. Required. De rigueur.

When you're not riding (blasphemy!) you can always buy more chachkas, get a new tattoo, shop for gear you already have, etc. I have a new coffee cup coming from eBay today. It has a picture of a Triumph Bonnie T100 on it and holds less than my current cup (which overfloweth with Chock full o' Nuts) making it faster. Bonnies are lightweight (500 lbs kerb) and with a 900cc HT powerplant they crank 65 bhp. So this cup helps provide the spark I need in the morning, like an NGK Iridium, and thus is a very effective caffeine delivery system. As a motorcyclist the last thing you want in the dawn before a ride is to become dangerously decaffeinated, hence the newer, faster, cup. The need is obvious. Regarding the bloke in a tophat, he reminds me of Baron Samedi, a good guy to have on your side, just ask any vodou adherent. And the patch? Every biker knows about Pirate Love:

Ride safe!
