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

Evening Ride
– 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.

Tiger Lady
– 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 youth of today…
– the wellies and bobble hat make the photo. As well as the faraway serious ‘tude.

Barn Find
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…

Dan
– 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;

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

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

Tri tri try
– an early Sunday saw me in Grant Park at 5am to meet with the others in the motorcycle crew for this year’s Triathlon. Again, I ferried Oli the photographer around the course to allow him to capture the athletes. Mostly loops up Lake Shore Drive, but also rode along the busway, a secretive road between the Illinois Center and McCormick, and some sections of the south lakefront trail to see the runners. Nice team and splendid weather.

A tree grows…
I needed to park the Tiger on the street today. The garage was closed off due to Greek-fest. The green cat-bike looked cool in front of the vintage brickwork and under a dappled tree canopy.

A Bit of Fry…
– Stephen Fry celebrates his 64th birthday today. Along with Hugh Laurie, he was one half of the celebrated duo of mirth.

Michigan Avenue
… over The Magnificent Mile. Nice detour along this prominent street from the River north to the Lake.
