Bonneville High – The 20 Year Reunion
by Sev Pearman
I really wanted to dislike this motorcycle. I mean — I couldn't even try to come at the Triumph Bonneville with a sense of objectivity. I've had my share of Meriden Triumphs, and recently sold my two-owner '69 Trophy. How could this modern interpretation possibly compare?
Let's get one thing straight. It is physically impossible to manufacture or sell a "new" '69 Bonneville in today's market. Emission and sound laws are tighter. Metallurgy is different. Manufacturing costs have only increased.
Oh sure, I'm sure there are a handful of craftsmen who will gleefully build you a copy of a '69 Bonneville. Virtually all parts are available. There is a huge industry building H-D clones. I'm equally sure you'd pay a H-D clone price, not Triumph's MSRP of $6,999. What you get for that kind of money is one darned good motorcycle.
You old Goats out there will feel right at home with the classic British-bike "sit-up-and-beg" riding position. The bars are wide; making for easy steering, and high enough that your hands float slightly above your elbows. This makes for a comfortable ride.
The seat is a retro-bench which eliminates both cruiser slouch and racer-boy crouch. You simply sit upright. It looks geeky, but once underway, it all makes sense.
The foot pegs are placed directly below your knees; reinforcing the kitchen chair position. They felt a little high for my taste, but all the better to increase lean angle my dear.
For an "entry-level" bike, the seat is very comfortable. I ran two tankfuls straight through on the Bonnie, and never once thought about it, except for one thing. As you squirm around on it, the top layer of fabric "slides" relative to the dense foam. Not enough to unsettle you, but just enough to be distracting. This is one of those quirks that an owner would soon forget about.
In a concession to price, instrumentation is spartan. Just a Smith's styled speedo; no tachometer. The usual idiot lights are present, although they were easily overpowered in sunlight.
Economy is excellent, averaging 47 mpg in a combination of city commuting and -ahem- spirited highway testing. The tank holds an honest 4 gallons (4.3 according to Triumph) with a full gallon reserve.
In a cost-saving measure, fuel is controlled with a traditional petcock. Plan on flipping to reserve at about 140 miles, with an honest 40 (!) miles remaining. The Bonnie ran bone dry at 187 miles and 182 miles, so you can make that Duluth ride without stopping for fuel.
The suspension of the Bonnie reveals its budget. The fork is non-adjustable, and the shocks have only a five-position pre-load adjustment. Just like her ancestor, the Bonnie is undersprung and overdamped. This means that the front end dives with any brake application and the bike "hops" over pavement blips. I'm sure your friends at Lindeman Engineering and RaceTech are already devising a cure.
The handling, however is sweet. With a generous steering lock and low center of gravity, the bike is ridiculously easy to drive and park. At speed, she is easily flickable, without being twitchy.
Cornering clearance is incredible. It took a determined effort to touch anything, and by that time the suspension was beginning to come unglued. Guess those awkward pipe bends have a purpose afterall…
The clutch and five-speed gearbox are well matched. The bike is smooth up to an indicated 85 mph, before the first tingles in the handlebars start to annoy. Neutral was always easy to find; whether from 1st or 2nd, while moving or stopped.
The clutch action is forgiving. It has a w-i-d-e friction zone that is friendly to newer riders and easy take up. You don't have to be a bodybuilder to ride the Bonneville all day.
I encountered one false neutral in 450 miles, once, between 4th and 5th. gears. To be fair, it occurred on one of our recent 90+ degree days during an aggressive acceleration with a half-assed shift on my part.
A couple things about maintenance. You can't open the seat without a 5mm Allen wrench. No problem; we'll just check beneath both sidecovers for the toolkit……Hey — where's the toolkit?
After purchasing the absent wrench, I was able to read in the owners manual (stored under the seat) that one is buried — er — carried under the right (steel!) sidecover. Catch-22.
That is it for the toolkit though. One L-shaped 5-mm Allen wrench. Bah. Humbug.
Another cost-saving measure is the lack of centerstand. I can't imagine owning a chain-drive bike, with its regular maintenance, without a centerstand. Maybe newer riders won't care, but that can be a deal breaker for many curmudgeons.
If Triumph is smart, you can expect to see a "Heritage Edition" Bonneville with centerstand, "traditional full instrumentation," and "travel-ready" toolkit. Coming to a dealer near you. Just how many versions of the Royal Star is Yamaha selling?
Fit and finish are excellent. Riders and civilians alike admired the beautiful green & silver paint scheme. The aluminum bits have several finishes; including brushed, satin and highly polished. Many details are sculpted.
Both the engine case covers are chromed, along with the headlamp shell and other bits. Overall, the finish of this bike puts more expensive rides to shame.
The test bike came with Triumph's excellent optional polycarbonate windscreen. I was initially skeptical, as I thought it would spoil the fun (and the lines) of the bike. Instead, it was a worthy freeway addition. It took all of the blast off of my chest, greatly aiding slab-riding comfort. Because it is short, your head still gets buffeting, but if you are that much of a whiner, please direct your attention to Triumph's fully-faired Trophy.
Not as pleasing were the factory saddlebags. They were sturdily made of thick leather, and shaped such that the trailing edgers of the bags matched the curve of the rear fender. Unfortunately, this means the openings for each bag will barely swallow a rolled-up sweatshirt, let alone a helmet. I was able to squirrel some Thai food into one bag, but it had to be loaded one tiny carton at a time.
Triumph's positioning for this bike was "entry-level." New, returning and smaller riders are their market, and they have succeeded. It is small enough to maneuver around town, yet makes ample power to sail the freeway. The seat is low enough to accommodate most riders, but tall enough that you won't get uncomfortable after a tankful.
Despite my surly efforts, I couldn't help but love the Bonneville. Much like Volkswagen's New Beetle or the new (BMW) Mini, the new Triumph Company has successfully "reinterpreted" a classic vehicle.
Wife's First Reaction: "Is that it? It looks great!"
Friendly handling
Tractable clutch action
Excellent finish quality
The goofy seat material and retention system.
Where's the tach and center stand?
Toolkit, please.

Watching the editor roll up to my house on the new for 2001 Triumph Bonneville, three thoughts crossed my mind:
1) Wow, talk about an upright seating position
2) Damn, this thing is not nearly as ugly as everyone is saying on the Internet.
3) Did I just step on a Babe Ruth? I really hope that was a Babe Ruth candy bar…aw geez, that's not a candy bar. Damnit. Friggin' Wiener dogs.
Being a fervent owner of a 1967 Triumph Bonneville and exposed to all of the harsh criticisms regarding the 2001 Triumph Bonneville, I was giddy with anticipation when the editor proposed the idea of me doing an evaluation on the 2001 Triumph Bonneville. Giddy. I love that word. Giddy. Ha.
Staring at the Forest Green and Silver demo in my driveway, I was immediately aware of the classic styling cues borrowed from the Bonneville of yesteryear. The classic front fender braces, ignition switch in the left front fork leg, the artful tank badges, rounded side covers, and the unmistakable trademark exhaust silencers.
Slinging a leg over the 30.5 inch seat height is more than easy and the comfortable reach to the handlebars enables an upright seating position reminiscent of the European spec classic Bonneville…but then again, I am 6'4″ so a drag bike would probably allow an upright seating position for me.
Pull the choke lever located on the carb, thumb the starter, and whirrrrrr, the bike comes to life. It is at this defining moment that you know the 2001 Bonneville is not going to be anything like the Bonneville of old. The starting procedure on my 1967 Triumph Bonneville is more like a ritual than a procedure: roll the bike out of the garage and down the alley to avoid waking my wife and son, break the clutch loose, tickle both carbs until the gas overflows onto the outside of the bowls, turn the key, and snap the kick starter while twisting the throttle and VaROOOM! POP! The free-flowing silencers belch a small flame as the engine comes to life and each angry twist of the wrist produces a compression-laden burst of exhaust capable of knocking over small children. Don't ask how I know. VaROOOM bahhhhh.
The new Bonneville, or Hinckley Bonneville as they call them in the classic bike circle, is nowhere near as adrenaline producing nor intrusive. As a matter of fact, your neighbor may just come over and introduce himself when you are astride the Hinckley Bonneville. Mine did and he's lived there for three years.
Tooling down the tarmac in search of some twisty roads, the 790 cc air-cooled DOHC parallel twin is incredibly smooth. The thump thump thump thump of the Meridian Bonneville has been replaced by a strange whirring buzz stemming from the cylinder heads. Every now and then I had to glance down and touch the motor to see if it was running. I would imagine installing the "off road only" exhaust and a little bit of carb tuning would correct this coma-inducing ride and add to the much-needed performance. I would probably drill out those EPA safety plugs and back the airscrews out a couple of turns. Speaking of carbs, the 2001 Bonneville has electric carburetor heaters affording you the ability to ride this motorcycle when the mercury drops down a few degrees below pleasant. How nice. One interesting characteristic shared by both bikes was the hiccup I experienced during throttle roll-ons in the apex of corners. On the '67, many people contribute this hesitation to the Monobloc carb design as they say the bowls are running out of gas at certain lean angles. As for the 2001 Bonneville, I attribute the hesitation to the constrained jetting required to pass the strict EPA regulations.
My first foray onto freeway onramp was a bit less than euphoric. You know how the onramps have the motorcycle (fast traffic) lane merging with the vehicle (old lady with a cell phone) lane? Well I got smoked by an old lady with a cell phone and found myself testing the single disc brakes to avoid becoming an addition to her collection of Garfields kissing the window. Not only does my '67 Bonneville have a more usable torque curve, it scares the hell out of anyone over the age of 10 so you never have to vie for position on the highway.
Once you do get up to freeway speeds, you will find the 2001 Triumph Bonneville to be quite happy chugging along at 60-70 mph And just like my '67 Bonneville, you will always be wishing you had one more gear when you surpass that 70 mph mark. This Bonneville had the optional windscreen, which was perfect for working my neck muscles as the screen directed the wind directly into my head. But then again, not a lot of 6'4″ bikers are going to fall in love with the 2001 Triumph Bonneville, so who cares. Whack the throttle from a quarter opening to WFO and you are met with an almost painful progression from 70 mph to 80 mph where she stops, has a smoke break, and continues on to 85 mph At 85, she rests for water, calls home, and does her nails and then continues on upwards towards 90 and 95. By that time, I ran out of road and stamina and backed her on down to her preferred speed of about 70 mph
Expect about 160 miles per tank in the real world and a sore ass after about 30 minutes. I have owned several new Triumphs and this is the one area in which they fail miserably. The ass. Triumph, if you are listening, please call Corbin for some pointers or at least include a hemorrhoid cushion in the tool kit for ass sakes. The current feet-forward seating position gave me leg cramps after 30 minutes on the freeway and caused my boot to scrape the pavement on the long sweepers. If you moved the pegs back a couple of inches, I believe you would avoid the toe scrapers and be able to take full advantage of the nimble tubular steel cradle chassis.
Riding two up is an attractive proposition for about 15 minutes until your passenger leans over and shouts, "Hey! My ass hurts." I'm telling you, that seat really sucks. We were sitting at an intersection when this guy rolls up to the stoplight and begins honking his horn and giving me the thumps up sign. At first I thought it was some psycho doing a Fonzie impersonation but then I glanced towards the passenger side and saw his wife exuding the exact same psychotic behavior. What are the odds of two psychos finding each other? Nevermind, I guess Bill did find Hillary. This guy eagerly rolls down the window and just when I was about to yell, "Gun!" he leans over and says, "Great bike man! I just bought one in Red! We love it!" Obviously he and his wife have not spent more than 15 minutes in the saddle or he would have leaned over and said, "Great bike man! I just bought one in Red! And man, does my ass hurt!"
In addition to providing some roadside entertainment, this nut helped me identify the target market for the 2001 Triumph Bonneville. When the new Bonneville was initially introduced, I felt chided as I thought the new Bonneville was targeted towards nutcases like me who still ride and wrench on the Meriden Bonnevilles. Not so nutso. The new Bonnevilles are built for the returning motorcycle rider or the beginner. If you had to label this motorcycle with one word, that one word would have to be user-friendly. Wait a minute, that's two words. How about non-intimidating? Is that one or two words? Whatever. This Bonneville was not designed with the original Bonneville legacy in mind. In the late 1950's a Triumph Tiger with a twin-carb head set the land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats and later came to be known as the Triumph Bonneville. Big, bad, fast, and not taking any prisoners. The new Triumph Bonneville is almost the exact opposite. Low seat height, user-friendly, operates well within the speed limit, and willing to listen to reason. Throw a little bit of gas into the tank, check the oil once in a while, and you will encounter endless carefree miles.
So if I had to pick, which one would I park in the garage? Duh. If I bought one of these, what the hell would I have to bitch about?

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Franklin College baseball closed out the month of March with their first two Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) games of the year against the Transylvania Pioneers.
The Grizzlies (10-8, 0-2) finished the afternoon with a total of 19 hits, with junior Nick Wright recording a team-high four base knocks. But the Pioneers (11-11, 4-0 HCAC) were able to use big innings in both contests to come away with wins by scores of 7-4 and 10-7, respectively.
Game One: Transylvania 7 – Franklin 4
Franklin jumped out to an early lead thanks to a two-out rally in the third inning. Ryan Bixler drew a two-out walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch before coming in to score on Sam Claycamp's RBI double that just snuck inside the left field line. One batter later, Claycamp came home on Wright's RBI single.
The big inning in game one came in the bottom of the fourth when the Pioneers brought five runners across the plate with two outs in the inning. Franklin would counter in their half of the fifth, adding a pair of runs on a Drew Naumovich single.
But the Grizzlies were unable to add the game-tying run in the same frame, leaving the bases loaded and the score at 5-4. Transylvania added runs in the sixth and eighth innings, stretching the lead out to three. Franklin would bring the tying run to the plate in the top of the ninth, but the Pioneers wiggled out of trouble to close out the game.
Aaron Leming (2-1) went seven innings on the hill for Franklin, allowing seven hits and five earned runs with three walks and four strikeouts.
Game Two: Transylvania 10 – Franklin 7
For the second straight game, the Grizzlies jumped out to the early lead, this time courtesy of a Claycamp sacrifice fly in the top of the first. But for the second straight game, the Pioneers answered Franklin's first strike with a big inning, plating five runs in the bottom of the second.
Franklin got one run back in the top of the third on Claycamp's two-out RBI single and one inning later, the Grizzlies evened up the game after a Brandt Pawley RBI single, a Quenton Wellington RBI double and Claycamp drawing a bases-loaded walk that made it a 5-5 game.
The game remained tied until the bottom of the seventh, when the Pioneers brought four runs across the dish to take the lead for good. Franklin cut the lead in half in the top of the eighth with RBI hits from Bixler and Wright, but the Grizzlies would leave the bags full for the third time on the day, their final quality scoring chance of the day.
Krae Sparks (1-2) got the start for the Grizzlies, lasting six innings with six walks and six strikeouts.
Franklin wraps up a lengthy road trip on Tuesday (Apr. 2) afternoon, when they head to Hanover, Ind. for two games against the Hanover Panthers. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m.

If you're a fan of animation and/or crude comedy you know who Seth Mac Farlane is. For those who don't he is a very funny American television producer, filmmaker, actor and singer with no equal.
Working across all genres Seth has primarily established his name in animation and comedy. His CV says it all. Mac Farlane is the creator of the TV series Family Guy (1999–present), co-creator of the TV series American Dad! (2005–present) and The Cleveland Show (2009–13) plus writer-director of the films Ted (2012), its sequel Ted 2 (2015), and A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014).
Early years? MacFarlane is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, where he studied animation. Recruited to Hollywood, he was an animator and writer for the classic cartoon house Hanna-Barbera for several television series including Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, I Am Weasel, and Larry & Steve. As an actor, he made guest appearances on Gilmore Girls, The War at Home and FlashForward.
In 2008, he created his own YouTube series titled Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. He won several awards for his work on Family Guy – including two Primetime Emmy Awards and an Annie Award. In 2009, he won the Webby Award for Film & Video Person of the Year. Occasionally speaking at universities and colleges throughout the United States, his is a very vocal supporter of gay rights.
His first feature-length comedy film Ted also features MacFarlane's voice acting and performance-capture as the titular walking and talking teddy bear, and became the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy. As a singer MacFarlane has performed at several venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. MacFarlane has actually released three studio albums, in the same style of his musical idol Frank Sinatra, beginning with Music Is Better Than Words in 2011. He wrote the lyrics for the Academy Award-nominated song "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" for Ted.
There really seems to be no end to the talent of this man. Long may Seth reign!

Earlier, AB De Villiers and Brendon McCullum scored 43 and 44 respectively while Mandeep Singh smashed a 18-ball 37 to help Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) post 176/7 in 20 overs.
KKR let a mouth-watering RCB top-four get a first crack at batting. 12 times KKR and nine times RCB win The last session was completely the name of Kolkata when both Eden and Chinnaswamy had washed both Kolkata and Bangalore. The skipper played a sensible innings and made sure his side take the two points on offer. With 30 needed from 24 and skipper Virat Kohli handing the ball to Umesh Yadav - the best bowler on display till then for RCB - the game could have gone either ways.
It could be said that those 16 runs off the final over taken the sheen off a superb KKR comeback. After scalping two big wickets, Rana was taken off the attack.
Earlier, Nitish Rana' twin-strike in one over in the first half of the match, where he bagged the wicket of AB De Villiers and Virat Kohli, helped KKR restrict the opposition to a par-score.
During the toss earlier tonight, KKR won the toss and chose to bowl first.
On a wicket that had decent pace and bounce on offer, pacer Umesh Yadav (4-27-2) set his straps from the outset and settled into a really good spell of classic fast bowling to dismiss Narine and KKR vice-captain Robin Uthappa (13) in quick succession. The other opener Quinton de Kock could not get going. They did that to perfection in a 55-run stand for the fourth wicket before Washington ended it by trapping Rana leg before.
"The RCB class of 2018 is exciting, a balance of youth and experience, fresh and resolved to delight our supporters around the country, to realise our potential on the field and, hopefully, to take the trophy", De Villiers further writes. KKR's fortunes will depend much on how Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell perform this season. Fellow Aussie Mitchell Johnson will look to fill the void as will England all-rounder Tom Curran who has been roped in as Starc's replacement. The South African was then on 23. All the home matches will be played here. The part-timer, to everyone's surprise, removed both the key batsmen in successive overs.
Sarfraz Khan, who was retained by the franchise, managed just six runs with Johnson (1/30) taking his wicket while Mandeep and Chris Woakes (5) fell to Vinay in the last over.

Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute has moved onto the campus of its medical partners creating the promise of greater impact for pediatric research
Nuclear medicine scans use tiny amounts of radioactive materials (isotopes), a special camera and a computer to create images from various parts of the body. Types of nuclear medicine scans include:
Your child may receive isotope injection by either mouth or bladder. Depending on the type of scan, we may also have to insert a small catheter into your child's bladder, so your child may experience some discomfort.
Your child may need to be sedated. Learn more about sedation and how to prepare for your child's medical imaging procedure.
A special camera and computer create images of the area within your child's body that the doctor needs to see.
Most visits take up to three hours since many of these exams require several pictures to be taken at different times.
Isotopes are normally excreted via the kidneys or through stool and are gone from your child's system within three days. Your referring physician typically receives results within 48 hours of the exam.
Since the 1950s, nuclear medicine has been a specialty for Lurie Children's, with the hospital's pediatric radiologists pioneering procedures that today are commonplace in pediatric nuclear settings throughout the world.
Our radiologists, all certified by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, have developed a dosing regimen that keeps administered radiation doses at the absolute minimum necessary to obtain the required diagnostic results. Learn more about our leadership role in the Image Gently campaign.

So, the end of another year. While I'm not a huge fan of celebrating New Year's Eve – people do tend to go over the top in making rash life-changing promises, while others get quite maudlin – I do find it useful to look back over the year and reflect on what I've really enjoyed about it.
The rest? It gets filed under "useful life experiences" and I do my best to move on. A fresh start and all that.
For me, 2014 was a superb year. It wasn't a daily walk in the park, but I had some superb experiences, made some tough decisions and survived some challenging situations – knowing more about myself and others.
I left my job, set up a new business and (so far) made a go of it. I finally got over my knee surgery and completed another half-marathon. And just days ago, I secured a place in the 2015 London Marathon!
Just like I did last year, in no particular order, these are my standout "2014 things" that I'd like to share. And in doing so, I know I'm missing out lots of equally important things, probably offending many in the process!
Book of the Year
This is a tough one for me. So I'll begin this by immediately breaking my own rules and highlight two books I've enjoyed more than any others this year. The first is The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. It covers two of my favourite themes: creativity and the comics industry.
Set just as comics were taking off prior to World War II, it tells the stories of two cousins who write and draw their own characters and make it big as creators. It covers their experiences in life, love, dealing with loss and living through the war. You don't have to love comics to enjoy this book, but I'll admit the references to real world artists and writers were fun.
Chabon created some amazing characters in this book. It was so absorbing, I was genuinely sad to finish the book as I just wanted to see how their stories panned out.
The second book I'll highlight is The Martian by Andy Weir. It's a really absorbing story of how an astronaut survives a disaster during a manned landing on Mars and has to attempt survival until he can be rescued. There is a lot of physics, maths and chemistry in the first couple of chapters. I'll admit I found it a little challenging at first, but it's worth getting through these and into the narrative.
It's being made into a film, so if it sounds interesting, I'd recommend reading the book first. They'll inevitably have to cut lots of the content to make it palatable to a general audience.
Movie of the Year
A few months ago, if you'd have asked me to choose my favourite film of 2014, I would have screamed "Captain America: Winter Soldier" from the rooftops. I loved every minute of it. And I've watched it three times this year.
I know people who don't even enjoy comics or know who Captain America is who enjoyed this. Think of it as the Bourne Ultimatum with super-powers. And Nazis.
However…the Marvel went and released what seems to be their sleeper hit for 2014: Guardians of the Galaxy. Wow. Just wow. It had everything: spectacular special effects, space battles, improbable action scenes and really likeable characters. Not to mention some very laugh-out-loud moments.
The film's writers had their work cut out for them – the origins of the Guardians of the Galaxy are complex and, to be honest, a bit impenetrable to the non-reader. But I think they did an excellent job of bringing the characters together into a pretty cohesive story, setting them up perfectly for the planned sequel.
Superheroes aside, I really, really enjoyed Interstellar – well worth the numb backside after sitting in the cinema for well over three hours.
Comic of the Year
This really has been the year of the super-complex crossover in comics-land. I'm pretty much a Marvel-only reader, but have dipped my toe into the Image universe when something has been overwhelmingly recommended.
But for all the cosmic battles, identity-switching and grand reveals, my favourite comic of the year has once again been Marvel's Hawkeye. To be fair, I've been flagging this as a must read almost from the beginning of the series.
The creative team have focused on a non-super-powered individual whose personal life is a bit of a shambles. He hasn't got the money and charm of Tony Stark, the healing abilities of Wolverine or the clear unambiguous morales of Captain America.
But Clint Barton – the Hawkeye of the title – is all the more interesting for it.
Living in a pretty shambolic apartment, his life centres on pizza, an adopted mutt of a dog, helping out his neighbours and battling Eastern European organised crime. All with a bow and arrow. While getting the living crap beaten out of him on a regular basis.
I think, in light of all the epic and cosmic stories Marvel is telling right now, his humanity and (relative) realism made him a more interesting character. That and the stellar art and dialogue provided by the very excellent David Aja and Matt Fraction.
Other honourable mentions go to "Sex Criminals" (which, despite the title, is really hilarious), the new reboot of "Fantastic Four" and Kelly Sue DeConnick's ever-excellent "Captain Marvel". The latter is being made into a film, so get on board now so you understand it all when it hits the cinema.
Trip of the Year
No surprises here: it's our trip to Japan in September. It. Was. Epic. Every day spent in Japan was a delight, regardless of the city we were in. I learned a ton, ate more than two tons and took in more visual beauty than I'm used to.
Highlights on the trip were seeing the monkeys, visiting an onsen spa and eating the best sushi I've ever had in my life.
Two weeks spent across Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo was simply not enough. I'll definitely be back. I loved the fact that almost everything is different to London: the food, the language, the nightlife, the etiquette.
If I could bring anything back from Japan and implant it here in London it would be the Japanese ability to board planes quickly and quietly and the whole concept of the onsen.
Really. I'll pay serious money to access hot springs and a clean sauna experience. If it can be combined with Japanese manners, then all the better. Although, I'd prefer not to be stared at quite so much. I'm going to put it down to the hairy chest and not think about it too much…
Moving on!
App of the Year
Across all of my very many gadgets, one app has stood out both in terms of how much I've used it and how much I've enjoyed it. It's not overly complex, but does what it does very well. It's Pocket Casts from Shift Jelly.
Simply put, it's the podcast player that Apple's own podcasts app should be. It has a wonderful interface, syncs across devices automatically and now, you can access your podcasts via any web browser. It's worth every penny of the £2.49 app fee, I guarantee it.
Other excellent apps I've relied on this year have been ToDoist and Evernote. Both will help you get more done and relieve that nagging doubt that you may have forgotten something. Evernote is basically my external brain and the place anything I may need to use and/or remember in the future is stored. Well worth paying for a premium account for both of them, but they both have a very powerful free version you can use to get a taster.
Gadget of the Year
Again, this probably won't surprise anyone who has already read about my Apple-related excitement while in Japan, but my gadget of the year is the iPhone 6 Plus. It's the iPhone I've always wanted: massive capacity, massive screen, but light and slim.
It's definitely not for everyone, I agree. I've had friends and family (and strangers on the tube) stare at the size of it in incredulity due to its size. It's most definitely a phablet, not a mini mobile phone.
But the screen size makes it possible to read longer selections of text comfortably and even watch video (video podcasts, as opposed to feature-length movies…I'm not a masochist!).
There have been moments when I'd briefly wished I'd bought the iPhone 6, rather than its larger brother. Especially when wearing skinny jeans.
It's not a phone you can easily pocket. But it's so much more than a phone, and I carry a bag anyway, so it's not a deal-breaker for me.
Second favourite would probably be my 27″ iMac, all because of its beautiful, magnificent screen. It makes working from my home office an absolute joy.
So what about 2015?
I'm looking forward to plenty more travel. I have personal trips to Paris and Reykjavik already in the calendar. I'm hoping to make it back to Miami at some point. And there are business trips to both Singapore and Malaysia confirmed.
I'm hoping Apple don't launch any more sexy gadgets that I'll "need" as soon as they're released. But I am looking forward to seeing what they do with photo management next year, in terms of a replacement for iPhoto.
I have a list of films I'm excited to see, including the new Avengers movie and the Star Wars sequel. I'm going to hope Avengers: Age of Ultron is as good as the first one and that Star Wars helps me forget the car crash that was the prequels. Yes. All of them.
I have one hell of a reading list to work through. "Work" makes it sound hard, and it isn't. I love reading and I love my Kindle. It helps me read multiple books concurrently, without having to cart them around with me in a bag. You can really get lost in a book when reading a Kindle. And the new Kindle Voyage is a delight.
Outside of my own "circle of influence", I'm hoping 2015 will have a lot less terrible, terrible news. There have been days where I've quite frankly turned off all news sources, just to avoid hearing about any more disasters, genocide and inhumanity.
I'm hoping the countdown to the UK 2015 General Election isn't as painful and soul-destroying as recent political campaigning has been and that we can have a sensible national debate about the country's direction – instead of apportioning blame.
Most of all, I'm hoping 2015 will be as fun, surprising, exciting and varied as 2014.
How about you?

Maintenance + Renovation
Thousands of square feet of crumbling asphalt walkways throughout Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming have been replaced with porous concrete surfaces made from stone and recycled tires.
The park has the world's largest concentration of geysers and thermal features, so the improvements promise to help reduce run-off and erosion in the eco-sensitive area.
Yellowstone's new walkways create more natural water patterns that eventually replenish the Yellowstone Geyser Basin, where Old Faithful is located.
"Yellowstone is the world's first national park with nearly 150 years of balancing the protection of natural wonders and sharing them with visitors," said Lynn Chan, a landscape architect for the National Park Service and lead on sustainability at Yellowstone National Park. "It is important to us to rehabilitate the park's walkways with materials that can help protect this sensitive environment yet still allow visitors to see and appreciate it."
Porous Surface
According to a recent announcement, the project team recently installed a product called Flexi-Pave, developed by KBI Industries, for the trail system. The porous, durable and flexible surface allows the water from rain and snow to percolate through the walkway the way it would have done before the walkways were installed and in turn creates more natural water patterns that eventually replenish the Yellowstone Geyser Basin, which features Old Faithful, according to the project details.
The new pathways are designed to evacuate up to 17.3 gallons of water per hour.
The material does not create significant storm-water runoff or leach pollutants into the soil, according to product information. It also does not break apart, which prevents material from ending up in geysers and hot springs.
Flexi-Pave is made of rubber granules and stone held together by a polymer binding agent that is inert when cured, according to its manufacturer. Its open-pore design enables fast evacuation of up to 4,000 cubic inches (17.3 gallons) of water per hour, the company says.
Donated Tires
Tire manufacturer Michelin also served as a partner on the project. Hundreds of tires that Michelin had previously donated for park vehicles were used to help create thousands of square feet of the trails.
The company descirbes the project in this short video.
"This project represents the model for collaboration between public and private organizations," said Jeff Augustin, vice president of external partnerships at Yellowstone Park Foundation. "We hope that this eco-friendly park walkway will inspire other similar projects that help preserve natural systems."
In 1872, Yellowstone National Park was established as the United States' first national park and is the world's first national park. Yellowstone hosts around 4 million visitors each year.
Comment from Dick Piper, (10/19/2016, 12:46 PM)
If it is as good as it sounds, it should be used extensively to reduce storm water runoff.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (10/20/2016, 8:40 AM)
Porous pavements can be quite good for low-stress areas like pathways and parking lots. They have durability issues on regular roads. The closest we currently have in widespread deployment is "porous friction course" where the top ~1.5" is porous. It's primarily used to improve driver visibility. Random example from a quick web search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxab5vdpLxE
Comment from john schultz, (10/20/2016, 9:13 AM)
Won't the porosity lead to subsidence issues? If the water puddles on this it will create a drain effect and washout the soil underneath. Look here for more a better description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YLZkW3nkAw but it doesn't address long-term benefits over traditional paving
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (10/21/2016, 8:05 AM)
Yep. I would expect washouts from fully permeable pavement laid directly on soil.

Tutoring a Monster: Part 1
"So, I've got a plan for catching the remaining villains," I said to Angela as I laid out my presentation materials on her desk. I rolled out a map of the US and continued, "As you know, the villains only want to destroy things, kill people, and get revenge on The Company." I picked up a Lego figurine and said, "This is me."
I placed my little stand-in on the map. "I will--"
Angela thumped Lego Me across the room.
"Well, I don't think that's a very good plan," I commented.
"Bennet, I need something from you," she told me.
I reminded her, "I'm married."
"Not that," she replied, "...yet. As you know, my baby Gabriel is locked up on Level 5. I'm worried about him. Being incarcerated means he can't get a proper education, and I don't want another retarded son." She looked me over and said, "You seem like a smart man, Bennet. I want you to teach my boy the basics: Reading, Writing and--"
"Arithmetic," she finished.
"Same thing."
I couldn't say no to the boss, so I went down to Level 5.
"Hello, Gabriel," I said through the super-strength Plexiglas barrier. "I'm your tutor."
He giggled.

Robert Allenby's former caddie says he doesn't believe the Australian golfer was bashed and kidnapped in Hawaii earlier this year.
Allenby said he was drugged, kidnapped, robbed and beaten following a night out in Honolulu in January, in a mysterious misadventure the 44-year-old says he doesn't remember.
There is still confusion over how the night unfolded after a number of witnesses gave conflicting accounts.
But Allenby's former caddie Mick Middlemo, with whom he fell out spectacularly following a verbal confrontation during the opening round of the Canadian Open, said he had protected the golfer and publicly supported his story about the incident because he was asked to.
"Do I think he got mugged and bashed and absolutely robbed? No I don't," Middlemo told News Corp Australia.
"That's the story I told because that's the story he told me to tell because I wasn't there.
"Do I think he just fell over and cracked his head? Honestly I do. I think he fell over and someone picked up his wallet and had a great time with his credit card."
Middlemo took a further swipe at Allenby, describing him as the golfing equivalent of controversial tennis star Bernard Tomic, saying he gives Australians a bad name.
"The way he talks to people on the golf course is mind-boggling. To marshals, volunteers," he said.
Middlemo's comments come only days after he was sacked by Allenby, when he left the golfer's bag to walk off following a blazing row at Glen Abbey in Ontario.
Allenby allegedly called his fellow Australian a "fat c***" and threatened to have him "banned for life" from the PGA Tour.
But Allenby said he sacked Middlemo after the caddie started behaving in a threatening manner and "just lost the plot".

I love this jumper, it fits beautifully and is so soft and the colour moss is gorgeous. Another fabulous sustainable addition to my Celtic & Co. Jumper collection. I have the small size and am 10-12 and it fits like it was made just for me. Thank you Celtic & Co. I didn't think it was possible to be so happy with an item of clothing.
