This is always a good ride through the City. Taking a pleasant cruise through the leafy wide roads that connect a series of parks – from Logan Square in the north to Hyde Park in the south. As architect and city planner Daniel Burnham said: “Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized.” Well his 1909 plan for Chicago isn’t little.
– I managed to snap a shot of a pair of bikers hauling up Ashland Avenue. Honda Helix superscooter and Suzuki GS1000.
A chap and his Bonneville on Sheridan Road. Heading home to Rogers Park I was at the red light near Loyola when this dude swerved up.
– Dean had a mishap with an errant screw on the road today. A tube of fix-a-flat got him home.
– graphic image on the wall in one of the bedrooms at a MidCentury home we stayed at this week. Colorful and swift.
Smart Soviet-red combination spied today by our intrepid man on the ground, Dean. Solid looking tool for sure!
Good ride on a splendid spring day. Green is the dominant color and spring bloom the main scent.
– 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.
– Made in Nottingham these were on every boys list in the Seventies. They were ridden as if they had an engine like this smart example.
– interesting advertising on the rear of a box truck along the Interstate in the Chicago suburbs. A rabbit (or is it a hare?) riding a speedy sports bike.
