My view from the O'hare Admiral's Club this morning.

The third plane back is my ride to Mexico City. Where I am right now.

Wow! I bet that's an interesting place. Have fun, do good work, and be careful! See if you can spot and Chinabikes there, I bet you can!

Saw a lot of China Bikes today, Doc. Just wasn't fast enough with the camera from the backseat of a Honda Civic. Yet. Tomorrow is another day.

One of the guys I'm working with asked my opinion of the MC traffic, "San Juan, PR on steroids.", said I. I can drive like the locals in San Juan but I think I met my match here.

So far, the weather has been iffy. Quite cool for this time of the year. The food has been excellent. The people have been friendly. And some of the women..8O 8O 8O. I may be old, but I ain't dead.

Being on a diet doesn't prohibit you from checking the menu, does it?!

Maybe they need a doctor for some part time work, between December and February? I'm NOT married!

Only pic of a motorized bike I got in Mexico City that wasn't blurry and it's a Honda.

Back home now but going back to MC after Turkey Day. Maybe I'll bring the other camera next time.

Enjoying the world of AM radio on an early fifties Zenith Trans-Oceanic radio I scored for forty bucks today.

Listening to an AM Oldies station, AM740, out of Toronto. Better than the Oldies stations on this side of fifty four forty.

Nice rig. I also like old radios. Does that one use tubes?

Yep. This unit is only missing it's battery pack. As they about double the weight of the radio, I'm not missing them.
