Big Easy Weekender - Saturday
Well, Saturday morning rolled around a little faster than I wanted, but, up and at 'em!
Today, The Transportation Revolution, Home of Triumph and Vespa of New Orleans kicked off the day by providing us a place to meet, socialize and have breakfast. They also had a raffle for a really nice riding jacket and provided free t-shirts! Thanks Guys!
I started off early, but you know Murphy's Law! The steering on the ferry was broken! So while I waited for the mechanic to fix it, I got a couple of shots of New Orleans across the river you might like:
This is Jackson Square in the mist:
This is a shot of the River Walk and the Blue building is the New Orleans Aquarium. The tall building is the World Trade Center:
So, finally arrived downtown at Vespa of New Orleans:
My first wheelie on the il Bello!
A 1969 Vespa:
No one could figure out what exactly this was... The owner called it, "The Rat"
Bour... Oh hell, this is the guy from Sweeden:
Is that a Honda Passport? YUP!
And after an hour, we're finally off! Heading for the D-Day Museum:
This ia a girl on a sister scoot of the il Bello!
And finally, after a trip around town, we arrived at the museum:
Well, after a while, we decided to head out to City Park and go the British car show there. On the way, ominous black clouds loomed overhead, so I broke off and headed back.
There was more to do but I had to get back and clean up some paperwork... so that's it for me for today!
Tomorrow, we'll be getting together for the "BBQ @ Da Fly" at the River View Audubon Park.
More to come tomorrow!
