Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

Never sure if these posts should go here or in "Today's Weather", but since this one is really about yesterday's weather, I opted to make this post here.

Decent day any time of year, but pretty special for February in Chicago. Temps in the 40s with southerly winds made for a delightful ride. With wet and sometimes slick patches that appear during midwinter thaws, I tend to ride these days on familiar routes. Yesterday, in search of blue sky for the Photo Challenge thread, I headed to Lake Michigan and Sheridan Rd. Stopped in Wilmette, Kenilworth, and finally Winnetka to find a spot that had both water and blue sky.

It did get a little cloudy on the return ride which of course added a bit of a chill so I stopped at my local Irish-style Pub and had some soup and a pint before heading home. Once home, I settled down with a cigar and a Manhattan and a February sunset.

Bike and Blue Sky Pick #2 -- The domed structure on the horizon is the Bahá’í Temple in Wilmette.


Stronger evidence than a groundhog can provide that winter is going to be here for a bit.


Artsy photo for your enjoyment.


It was hopping in Uptown Park Ridge for a Sunday afternoon. Was lucky to squeeze my bike into this little parking spot.


I used Dubonnet Red instead of vermouth for this Manhattan. Came out pretty good.


For the "this is a motorcycle thread" folks, you will see my Kendon Motorcycle trailer in the foreground of this picture of my end-of-day view.
