    Great photos ! But tell us a little about them ? What building has the lions ? And what did the Windmill used to mill ? Inquiring minds want to know.

      The lions guard a bank about 2 miles from my house. I found them after search for two hours today.
      The windmill is in Dwight Illinois right off of Old Route 66. It was used to pump water for a big mansion there. It was built in 1896. It no longer is in use.

          And the NEW tag... A big ass windmill...
          Sweet photos and good tags. Suprised no Ill. boys didn't go to the Chi. library or Washington bridge in DC. Those were they images that popped in my head when I got the tag. Isn't there any body in the DC area? I'm curious about those 750 Ts. Especially "the Jet", are those factory colors? And is this what happens when an E and L get together, after too many drinks? Love it, just might have to find one for the stable. Was this Suzukis answer to Triumphs. No windmill for me, it's storming and is suppose to all week. I guess I'll save my Memorial Day tag for the 4th.

            The T model, (750 and 1100) are very rare from what I can tell. I've been looking for an 1100 model of the same year. ('83). But haven't even seen one. They came in 2 color schemers, red/black, and gray/black. Mine faded really weird to make a cool orange color.

                  Sweet, I looked at the single photo and thought maybe it shot a flame out of the torch.

                      Thanks. I had some buyers remorse initially but she's in pretty decent shape over all. Still, she needs some more TLC before I call her 'wonderful'. There WILL be a project thread for her this fall.

                        Being Nebraska windmills are all over. Big ass windmills are another thing. Unless you count turbines. Otherwise a smaller water pump wind mill will have to do.

                              Was the tag a big 'ol windmill?
                              Will a video with beautiful music work?
                              WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO!!!




                              Or, this tiny one that is just a couple of blocks away from home, too easy!



                              A pic through the trees so that you can see it better...
