British Invasion

[the Ferret]

Today my brother and I got together for a ride and decided to head to Ripley Ohio with a stop at one of our favorite lunch places Rockin' Robins. A 50's and 60's themed restaurant with a bunch of Elvis, Fat's Domino, Little Richard, Marilyn Monroe, Beatles décor and a half of a 57 Chevy Juke Box. My brother was on his British Triumph twin and me on the newer Japanese inline 4. Could have been 1969.

When we arrived in town and pulled around the corner we were met with some more of Britain's iconic roadsters. Not the original Triumph Bonnevilles, but rather the iconic British 2 seater sports cars that the world has never been able to copy. MGB's and MGB-GT's. Perfect lines, spoked wheels, gorgeous interiors, wood steering wheels. Just beautiful.

The black one had a Dragon sticker on the back, the hardtop a GT.

I loved this British racing green and tan B with the wicker touring basket. Gorgeous

My brother has a Miata convertible with a power hard top he loves but admitted these were the real deal ..the originals.

Our bikes fit in perfectly even though they were a half century newer. Like I said, could have been 1969.
