Resting at the Illinois Border | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A group of Harley-Davidson riders stopping for a rest on the side of the highway at the Wisconsin-Illinois border. A man and a woman, wearing Milwaukee Motorcycle Club patches on their sweaters, are leaning on the "Welcome to Illinois, Henry Horner, Governor" sign on the side of the road. A woman on the left is posing sitting over the back of her motorcyle, and a man on the right is standing and bending over with his hands on his knees. Just beyond is a sign for Illinois Highway 80. Behind trees and a fence are farm buildings. Handwritten at the bottom: "Resting on our trip."
