The golden rays of a morning light glows on the Tigers engine. Rarin’ to go…

Like some desolate sun bleached scene from a Sam Peckinpah film.

– splendid ride into Wisconsin for a lap around this resort ringed weekend destination. A delicious cup o’joe was enjoyed at Steamers in Williams Bay. Lots of boats on the water and hoards of ice cream licking visitors in Geneva town. A few leaves on the odd maple we’re turning.

– Jim Moir with his wife aboard a white ‘n’ gold Bonneville. Very distinguished

A swing-by the planetarium to get the classic Chicago architectural backdrop. LSD was a mess but the view was worth it.

RIP Sir Clive Sinclair (1940-2021) Introducing many of us to the future.

– hot off the presses is a gorgeous looking machine from Triumph. I bet it goes like the clappers.

Local bar in Wisconsin with a Yamaha parked under the bright streetlight. The beef patty Lady Dawn burger was delicious.

– 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.
