A cigar box of 50 of 4x6s of mine to the first person who can tell me the address of the building I am standing on to take this picture. (You can also give me the building name)

We have a winner! NachaPrint accurately identified the location where the picture was made! The Tides/Oakwoods - 360 East South Water. Congratulations!

Belen called me after she left the office today. We had been talking about a bike that I had seen online from Jet Custom Cycles that had a beautiful saddle leather seat and white wall tires. She called because she saw this amazing chopper out on Washington that had almost exactly what I was talking about. This particular chopper happens to have awesome brass accents which I think are really sharp. 
For about the last month and a half I got to thinking that I was a café racer kinda guy, but over the last few days I’ve been realizing I’m a chopper kinda guy. Actually… I might be a both kinda guy. I think - as it turns out - I’m a well crafted metal kinda guy. In any case I look at my Suzuki Marauder 800 and I think - I’d like to chop it. The inspiration - a old leather club chair. A little roughed up with some texture, but still refined with classic, bold lines. Original maroon paint sanded to add a little texture. Wrapped exhaust. Chopped rear fender - losing the ‘passenger seat’. Refinished saddle in brown leather. White wall tires. Brass accessories. Brown leather grips. I can see it in my head - it’s beautiful.
