Indy Bike Show

1600bluekaw · 07-17-2012, 11:31 AM

I was invited to enter my custom BAGGER in a bike show in Indianapolis last week end. The show was sponsored by Easy Rider magazine & The Eiteljorg Museum. The judges were from the mag including Mike Farabaugh a photographer for the magazine. There were over 70 bikes, many different classes. To my surprise the BAGGER took 2nd place in its category. My first show, my first trophy.

Congratulations, Don! Thanks for letting Denny sit on your bike while I took a great picture outside of the Old Man River Brewery and Pub in Iowa.
Hey, how was your trip to Wyoming and also how about the Wild Hogs II to Maggie Valley?
