Riding his Motorcycle

Riding his Motorcycle

Nice spring weather yesterday with around 15C and a clear blue sky. I took a bike ride as did this guy although he is cheating by using an engine. I was having a cup of coffee at my favorite cafe when I heard the motorcycle, from where I was sitting I only had a second to get the shot but it turned out OK. A little later I had to walk home with the bike after a third flat tire in a week.

  2. Do Swedes know Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild? I think it is easier to be wild in the US than in Sweden.

    Right now I wish I were in Sweden. It is 3C here in Chicago, where we are visiting our son.

  3. Et fantastisk foto!
    Han er jo som skapt for DET kjøretøyet.
    Wrom-wrom.
    Jeg hører nesten musikk også.
    Born to be wild.... ?
    Fin komposisjon i bildet.
    Kontrasten mellom den lille balkongen og den store motorsykkelen er super.

  5. Of course they do Bob. I guess you know that Sweden has the biggest Harley Davidson club in the world.

    You could be on to something there Mr. Poet. I think he lives around the corner from the cafe and was on his way home, so he probably knew I was sitting there!

  6. Sorry about the flat tire. Hopefully the third will be the last for quite a while. Fancy motorcycle this guy rides!

    here they always talk about riding their bike when they refer to such an engine-driven machine.... always find that funny...
    yesterday i even saw a bikeshop and was looking forward to see my so much missed mode of transportation... but ofcourse... it were motorcycles... :(

  8. This is pretty good for a fast shot. Heck, it would be pretty good for a staged shot, too.

  11. He drove up to the cafe today, so I walked over to say that I got a photo of him on his bike, but he had already seen it!
