Yeah, the trailer is parked around the corner. You really didn’t expect me to ride all the way from Winnetka? Have to ride up just to make an appearance.

High schools and motorcycle safety events are the only places where Governor Rauner can use the front door.

The state can’t afford gas for the SUV, so I had to take the bike. Next time I may have to downgrade to the moped.

Anyone seen the Shaggin’ Wagon parked at the Guv’s spot at the Dome? Like ridin’, he made a big deal out of the van in spots during the campaign.

Crushing social services has allowed Bruce Rauner to focus on his priorities, namely extending free motorcycle training courses through 2017.

HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 2, Episode 28
Bruce is late for a motorcycle event, he forgot where he put the prop helmet. Diana calls the doorman at the Chicago Condo to see if the coast is clear of protesters. Diana’s State Employee writes the thank you note to UIUC for having Bruce visit. Lance tweets pictures of Bruce on his motorcycle, “ck” sends an email of Todd Maisch’s quotes to IRN, Goldberg pens a note to the Steelers GM about the NFL Draft. Comedy, 68 minutes.

Generating a great deal of excitement, the Governor said, “hey, watch this!”, then blocked the street and gave anyone who tried to go around him a few million reasons why they shouldn’t.

The Governor shows off his new toy, the Road Rauner. It’s capable of outrunning protesters in 5 seconds and the windshield is impervious to eggs thrown by union workers.
