– a hot day pushed today’s ride into the evening when cooler temperatures would give more comfortable conditions.

Graffiti
– the new Triumph Trident has arrived in Chicago and have already sold out at Motoworks. I haven’t seen one in person yet, but will no doubt see one darting around the urban environment.

Long Sight
– another couple of images from yesterday’s trip. Following the tracks gets interrupted by the occasional train. Either a freight or the South Shore Line.

Red Arrow Highway
– clear and cool air followed us along the shore to Michigan. Fairly quiet roads through Lansing, Gary, New Buffalo. Brunch of pancakes, eggs ‘n’ sausage washed down with delicious coffee at Three Oaks.

Raised Eyebrow
Cycling Olympian champion Victoria Pendleton CBE gives off a confident air in her three piece tweed suit. Perfect garb when standing over a black late model Triumph Thruxton.

Kustom Skooter
– spied on Halsted near work. Big guy on low custom scooter. Not your usual Lambretta!

Wear the Mask
– just for completeness, there is a face mask with the Triumph logo. I found these simple coverings just steam my glasses up quickly. The KN95 filter type has a better mouth and nose space.

Lake County Lap
– with rising May temperatures a loop around north east Illinois was on the cards. A stop by Fox River for a well earned coffee; being the first time since the start of the pandemic on our weekend rides. Taking back roads along the Illinois Wisconsin state line we rode to the Lake and back down Sheridan Road with a quick stop at the Durand Art Institute in Lake Forest.

To Boldly Go…
– Everyone knows him as James Tiberius Kirk, born March 22, 2233 in Riverside Ohio, captain of the starship Enterprise NCC-1701.
But we also know him as the indefatigable William Shatner who turns 90 today. Here he’s trying to look cool on a BSA tootling around the back lot of the Star Trek sound stage in Hollywood.
