My Celebration Run

#1

Post by brokentoe »

All my rides have been cancelled for over a year as I (with a lot of help) repaired my stator, water pump, temperature switch, regulator/reciprocator, carburators, electronic ignition, and a few other smaller things. I've looked on longingly as many of you have shared ride reports and pictures of some of God's great masterpieces.

Today I took what I consider my celebration run. dancr After I make a repair, I usually take a 20 minute ride to the Chocolate Cafe on Monument Circle in Indianapolis. This time I threw in a couple of extra stops just to show you some sights. :shock:

Here's the fourth photo, and the actual destination, the Chocolate Cafe. I didn't know it before but there was a 3 attachment limit. :-?

Thanks Brant, it's getting there. Next I need a new seat.

Yeah, Sunbobb, Hoosiers take full advantage of their choice to wear or not wear a helmet.

Yeah, I hear you and I'm watching with interest. Oh, and by the way, did you notice that awesome NGW club sticker?
Those stickers are covering up a bunch of scratches. I was going down the road and hit a big bump, and the side cover came off and started it's own independent trip down the highway. Eventually all those stickers will come off when I get the cover repainted, but I do have another NGW sticker in case I decide to to put it back on.
