– a quick weekend away to rural Wisconsin. A farm tractor gathering piqued my interest as we drove through the Driftless. John Deere, Farmall, Massey. Some freshly restored, others under cool oily patina.

– nothing like the thunderous roar of the Vincent Twin. Not even the cacophony of an HD comes near. Pure engineering.

– very nice temperatures as we rode up a fairly quiet Sheridan Road to Lake Bluff. A waxing crescent moon hung over the western horizon. A hint of earth glow countered with a bright Venus.

– some Tiger owner took a photo of their grandmother after a ride and added an older snap of her in younger days with a Royal Enfield 125 nearly 70 years prior.

– the wellies and bobble hat make the photo. As well as the faraway serious ‘tude.

Piled behind some old Ford pistons and cam shafts. This Commando is in serious need of attention. Working on a plan to acquire it from my brother in law…

– Here is my brother in law on his HD Super Glide Sport rolling in from Big Lake to greet us on our weekend visit up north to Buffalo MN. Beard tied up to prevent it whipping him in the face. Insect clad screen;

A pair of icons from the 60’s and 70’s. Who was the cooler?

We were behind this van coming home along the lakefront. Good range of 70’s band names.
