– Brief stopover at this northern Illinois town yesterday for a coffee and seat outside the old bank building watching the world go by. The late 19thC Main Street architecture is still part of the towns character.

Oak Tree
– half way around yesterday’s circle tour was a shady spot under some Oaken woodland. Cool verdant breeze gives a promise of colorful Fall rides ahead.

Black Ink
– Bringing strength together with prowess; agility with power; and tenacity with fortitude, a Tiger partnered with Triumph is the ideal team.

Lakeview
– there are many places along the 18.5 miles of Lakefront to stop and enjoy a view across to the changeable waters of Lake Michigan. This particular day it was flat with a hint of turquoise.

Pioneer Court
The original settlement location on the Chicago River is just by Michigan Avenue Bridge. A nice spot downtown to enjoy the skyline and waterway. Here’s Dean with his cool Triumph Street Scrambler.

Citrus triumphant
Parked in a lot on my way home from a swim. The bug-eyed Street Triple R is quite spare and purposeful. The 675cc engine was a detuned Daytona Unit with useable midrange power for day-to-day fun.

Having a marvelous time. Scenery pleasant, company good, roadside attractions zany, weather warm, and traffic light. Wish you were here.

The Main Street of America’s
Route 66
We had a full day ride looping mid-north Illinois. Heading down old Highway Sixty Six from where it springs at Lake Shore Drive it runs parallel to Interstate 55 through small grain fed towns. A stretch between Dwight and Bloomington has a vestige of one of the southbound lanes alongside the road. The telegraph poles still line the grass cracked asphalt.

Don’t forget your flask…
A delightful photograph from past days with a happy couple enjoying a cuppa along some quiet country road. The Triumph ‘Twenty One’ carried them there in competent fashion and a post war bucolic England let’s them relax trouble-free.
