Back in September 1956 Triumph stunned the world by establishing a new World Speed record for a motorcycle, obviously at the Bonneville slat flats in Utah, USA. And since then that Bonneville name has become a Triumph icon.

Well, we’re now in 2015 and Triumph has released these very pretty memorabilia items to remind people when ‘men were men’. But you don’t necessarily have to be a man to enjoy or wear them.

We have a warm and super-cool fleece, matching cap, and a mug for consuming tea after passing the ‘double-ton’, because it says 214.40 mph (343.04 km/h) on the label. Or, just cross out the date and tell anyone interested about ‘your’ top speed record?

Price: Fleece R1,150   Cap R560  Tea mug R240

We all love the Ducati name, so how about some ‘cheap’ gifts for your friends?

First we have genuine Ducati slops, ideal for pretending you’ve just come back from a MotoGP race and stole them from the pits. Or, perhaps enjoy a game of vigorous Ducati inspired ‘bottom slapping’ after a bottle of Italian wine, or two.

Next we have an interesting, or not, silicone Ducati tray. Not only can this make Ducati shaped ice cubes but it can also go into the oven at over 200-degrees and make little Duacti chocolates or biscuits, how cool, or hot, is that?

Price: Slops R180    Silicone tray R110   Call: Tasha on 011 919 1600

Now don’t you just want one of these to play with? The Rapid Fat Cat is obviously a bicycle, or mountain bike to be more precise, but just look at those tyres folks!

The Fat Cat has a steel frame; Shimano gears with right hand ‘old school’ rotating shift mechanism and cable operated tiny disc brakes. But the most outstanding feature is those ‘balloon’ tyres in a standard 26-inch size but a totally non-standard 4-inch width, which is wider than many small/medium sized motorbikes.

The Rapid Fat Cat will make an ideal ‘pit bike’ or holiday toy but the most impressive thing is the price, cheaper than a decent helmet. But it gets even better, if you call the guys from Radmoto and say you’ve seen them on Billys Bikes you’ll get a huge discount, how cool is that?

So buy one today before they all get sold, which they will for sure.

Price: R4,850 discounted to  R3,999 if you say ‘we’ sent you.

These two new products from Motul are quite interesting and well worth a try, if they raise your eyebrows?

Valve Expert says, ‘Substitut de plomb’ on the bottle, and if you don’t speak French it means, lead substitute for older engines that need it, which will stop your valves looking like the mice have been at them.

Engine Clean, can easily be added to any 4-stroke engine, run for a few minutes before you change your oil, and it’ll wash away buckets of shite from your internals, but it doesn’t say that in French on the tin.

Both available from your local Motul retailer right now.
