All Saints Day

Great piece of street poster art, measuring about 3ft (a metre) long and spotted on the parapet of a railway bridge crossing Via delle Conce in Rome's Ostiense district. By the time I got to it, some moronic graffiti scrote had already obliterated the legend at the bottom, which reads: Maria Vergine Augusta, guidami sulla giusta strada e proteggimi dalle buche [August Virgin Mary, guide me on the right road and protect me from the potholes]. It's by Fabio Giannotti, who goes by the name of Ex Voto and more of his work is, or has been, about Rome. MP

It's a London fing - UPDATED

Swirly American fairground fonts (or any of my favourites) weren't Drogo's cup of tea for his new Co-Built 6 bike, which is nearing completion. He's gone instead for the stalwart sans serif design developed by Edward Johnston for London Transport in 1916. BPUPDATE From Drogo...
So I chose my race number cos it was already on my eBay leathers, I go London Transport font in a moment of creative laziness for the number board. You liken it to the buses. I look up the bus number and what do you know, the 27 starts life 5 mins from my new house!
However, the whole thing really ties in with my average race speed being the same as a London Bus during rush hour...

UPDATE 2: Olive for David Taylor.

UPDATE 3: This all reminds me that, at Verona, I was telling Dave Skooter Farm that Reg Varney was the first person anywhere in the world to use an ATM machine in public. It was 1967 and outside Barclays, Enfield. (I sometimes wonder what people think who stumble on this blog trying to find out something about a motorbike magazine). G

Danger of Death

In Britain, warnings about widdling on live railway lines and the like are depicted by the silhouette of a man being struck by a shard of frozen piss while disco dancing. In Italy, they prefer a more straightforward approach, with a hint of Long John Silver. MP
