Chappelle's SNL Monologue had me laughing "in stitches" ...  I'm formerly from the north 'burbs.

A skateboarder and software engineer friend o' mine living there rides a Harley;  when last I visited we looked for an available test ride for him to try a Zero but didn't find anything.

I am not a zero owner but I do think we should do an electric Meetup

This thread is dead, but I'm bringing it back. I've had an FXS for a year and use it as my daily commuter to the loop. It's great to tearing down LSD.

I saw a "retro blue" SR/F parked on Harvey Court a few days ago. Was that you, or are these things approaching mainstream status?

That depends... where is Harvey Court? I can't find that on Google Maps in Chicago.

Sorry, I meant Garvey Court. It's that little street that goes between Lake and Lower Wacker.

Yes, that's my blue SR/F. :)

Love the color. I usually park on Washington/Dearborn, but your bike brightens the day when I have to park on Garvey.

Wait wait wait, there's a spot at Washington/Dearborn? I'm intrigued.

Yup, left side of Dearborn there is that parking strip between the bike lane and the rest of the road. At the very end of it almost by Washington there is a spot between "No Parking excl Macedonian Consulate" and a "No Parking here to corner" signs. Usually enough for 2 bikes.

I'll check it out. Those two signs aren't on the same pole?

A few feet between them. 2 bikes can fit if done right.
