      Any material is fine...as long as it is GIANT...
      (Meaning not life sized, but bigger)
      The Statue of Liberty would be fine...Tops Big Boy, also fine...(do they still exist?)

        There’s an old John Prine album (maybe early ‘80s?) where he’s standing playing his guitar to a pile of old Big Boy statues……….I think……if memory serves……I’m old.

              Bob is for some reason riding up and down the east side of the river on 25... go slightly further north and there Al Capone's hideaway restaurant. A bit further north of there (just on the other side of I-90 is GATS guns, decent prices but the darkest shooting range I've ever been to. The skate park he photo'ed earlier is in Batavia due south of "the big guy"...

              I lived in Aurora not far from there and used to take either 31(west side of the river) or 25 every day to Elgin. There's actually some nice bends out there and the small towns aren't too bad...

              If you want to ruin your diet stop off in St. Charles on the west side of the river at the Blue Goose Supermarket and pick up a Caramel Apple Pie in a paper bag (get some ice cream too)...

                The Moose lodge is on RT31...

                My local ride is a loop between North Aurora and Elgin...using both 25 and 31...I pick it up at Fabyan parkway and just vary the direction...
                Usually takes me a little less than two hours...including a roundabout way home past Cantigny golf course were there is a couple of nice corners.
                I usually run it about once a week...just to get out.

                There is not a lot of turns in these parts...so I take what I can get.

                  That's not a bad route and I agree with you on the corners , or lack of out there.

                  Don't forget to get a pie.

                    Giant Man:



                    It's Wayne Gretzky and the statue isn't as big as I thought it was, but still he is a giant of a man.

                    New one; and it is probably impossible for most of you, so if you feel it is no good I have a backup.

                    Oil Derrick:


                    I suppose any petroleum related thing should count. Even an oil spill...?

                            New Guy Claiming the Tag

                            To be fair it was easy to get the first tag. I simply took a picture of my school before night class.



                            To make things interesting I rode to Hoboken to capture this shot of NYC.
                            The new tag will be your bike and a Skyline



                            PS sorry about the links, i was in a hurry to get to class

                              Maybe it's just me but both links show the skyline shot, where's the school?
