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.

Loyola Corner
Taking the curve on Sheridan Road as it passes the seminary college on the lakefront. This lad is enjoying the sunset turn-in on his nineties black Triumph.

River Road
Hipster dude with turned up skinny jeans on his bobbed Bonneville along Wacker Drive. Little bit of mullet peeping under the edge of the open face helmet. Good scene.

Bumblebee
A pair of Beemer adventure bikes were parked next to my car. always like the black and yellow color scheme that is reminiscent of the original air cooler R90 GS from the late eighties.

Orange Utility
Volkswagen’s response to the US Jeep and UK’s Land Rover was this lightweight version. The Type 181 is the military version of its 2WD lineup.

SCUBA Bike
Driving past Elmer’s Watersport I saw the owner, Myron Siciak’s Harley parked out front. I used to be a dive instructor at this ‘shop. Many moons ago.

Wet Weather Rider
. And a spot of rain is called for. The extreme heat in the UK and Europe need the cooling effects of inclement weather. Having learned to ride in the rain I’m not shy to get out in the wet. You just need a little extra care on the corners or freshly rained upon roads. This motorcycle covered and parked in the City is ready for action dry or wet.

Bark at the Sky
– an adept 400 twin from the Honda stable mid 80’s. This was spied in my ‘hood Rogers Park.

Condo Cycle
More city snaps of parked motorbikes. This time a lightly customized Triumph Twin sat patiently on a north side Chicago street.

Grand
– another urban snap. This time a small size scooter parked near Greentown. Whatever gets you about!

Bandit ‘n’ Buildings
Another urban ‘cycle parked next to the Chicago River near the Merchandise Mart. Skyscrapers reflected off skyscrapers. A smart ruby red Suzuki looks the part.

Black Bomber
This continues my series of street side bikes. A bobbed Honda 750 a la noir.

Robbie Baby
This evening’s Dick Van Dyke show was the episode when Rob Petrie brings home a motorcycle. Laura isn’t too happy; but he puts on the leather jacket given to him from Buddy and Sally and heads out onto the road. Sixties sitcom hilarity ensues.
The bike used was a 50cc step through cycle based on many a European scooter of the day.
