Flew down to New Orleans this week to visit our youngest, who moved there last August. The weather is incredible, but I saw hardly any bikes till today (Easter Sunday). Weird.

We did most of the typical tourist stuff so far and will check out the New Orleans and WWII museums tomorrow. Did a swamp boat ride on Saturday, that was very interesting. Any other places we should hit?

Stopped at the Triumph dealership which is pretty nice, but they were out of shop t-shirts. I'll have to get the daughter to send me one.

I did spy this crusty America in the Quarter, it looks like it has led a pretty tough city-bike life. Also spied this old Shovel today. Other than that, pretty lean on motorcycles, I still find that odd. The roads are horrific, but that can't be the reason.

I travel to New Orleans once or twice a year for business. I never see a lot of motorcycles in that area for some reason.I've visited the Triumph dealer, small store right down town. he was out of shop shirts when I've been in there as well

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

I'll have my daughter stop by and grab me one. We're across the street from "Howlin Wolf's" (bar) and I asked about shirts, yes, we have them, XL?, no, sorry out..0-2 on this trip...
Just googled "Chuck House Motorsports", a cool looking shop (Ducati/Triumph) near the airport. I may stop by there if time permits.

We're in Pensacola Beach FL now, for a few days. Looks like D&D Triumph is nearby, they're pretty big, right?
