I took a quick stop at the Lakefront on my way home. The City skyline touching the waters edge with water whipping around under a half cloudy sky.

– glorious weather for a decent jaunt around Lake Geneva WI. Stopped in at the big telescope in Williams Bay. Beautiful building that houses historical world class astronomical equipment. The dome behind the bikes has the 41” reflector.

– a cool hundred mikes around Lake County with a brief sojourn into Wisconsin. I gotta say it but the bike is just a pleasure to ride.

– Lake Bluff was the nearby destination with grey skies overhead. Project site visit to inspect trees that are going to be transplanted. Good to be on the bike in spring. New sheepskin saddle cover is plush and make you want to ride off into the west.

There are a few glowing articles out there about the new Triumph Tiger 1200. Redesigned from the ground up. The various models give blistering attitude for the asphalt roadways and the crude off-road trails. Press release was carried out in Portugal.

– Bike running just great. Windscreen ideal to keep a cool lakefront air off me. Cup of coffee in Waukegan. Roads fairly quiet.

finally able to get the Tiger onto the road today. Temperatures in the low fifties and blue blue heavens. The Lake echoed a classic Caribbean azure along the North Shore. New knobbly tires and clear tall windscreen were a treat. Short mulch path off road was transverse with ease.

– clear view forward- I installed a new tall windscreen to the Tiger yesterday. Can’t wait to try it out this spring!

– temperatures are dropping in the usual January fashion. Here’s a Triumph Tiger being ridden with enthusiasm around a frozen lake. Tire studs a must.

Nomade Cycles, a Madrid-based custom garage, took a mid nineties Triumph 900 Tiger and gave it a desert sled look fit for any windmill tilting adventurer.

– some curious whiskered chap enjoying the saddle prospect from a late sixties T100 Tiger.

A plethora of cussing and swearing echoed in my garage today as I wrestled the old tire off the back wheel and spooned on a rugged number. Front wheel the morn…

– excellent decoration on one of my favorite puddin’s. Braap!
