Cover Art | nice illustration of one of the main characters from The Walking Dead. Occasional blank front pages of the graphic periodical inspire readers to add their own comic art. A good representation of Daryl Dixon’s Triumph chopper.

Bicycle Balance | We can all remember the moment equilibrium was achieved on two wheels. Calvin on the other hand…
“You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.” John Calvin

Highway Patrol | The City of Evanston’s police department has shiny new scooters. Fully kitted Beemer ready to light the blues and twos and apprehend speeders on Ridge Avenue, where the speed limit is 25mph. Very smart looking hauler.

Shady Dealings | the new helmet with internal tinted visor came in handy during the weekend jaunt under the lowering autumn sun. The Bluetooth headset connected to my iPhone music was an added touch.
