George O's Restaurant & Bar has been an institution in Waco, Texas since 1930. Country n' Western singer Pat Green, a Waco native, even has a tune on one of his albums entitled, "George's Bar."
The favored beverage -named the
"Big O"- is a 24 ounce goblet filled with your favorite draft. Killer hamburgers are worth the 125 mile drive, so that's what we did today.
Just across the Interstate is The Euro Shop; a very friendly Triumph, Ducati, Victory, vintage and race bike dealer. You know we had to stop in before meeting our eldest son and his SO for lunch at George's. They live in Austin so if the old man, that be me, is paying, they're in the mix.
Traffic on the Interstate was pretty intense both ways. Don't these people have jobs they should be at? Jeez [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
Some retina bacon for you guys...
The soft economy hits everyone, including bike shops. Many dealers in my orbit are now open on the traditionally closed Mondays. Euro Shop is no exception. You can't sell if the doors are locked. Really cool shop indoors and out. It's in Texas, y'all.
A Hinckley Bonneville with a side car! Scotty, you seeing this? Check the Triumph tank badge affixed to the nose of the chair. Nicely built it is.
Vintage Gilera fronts a classic Honda Super Hawk. At the end of this row was a 1965 Bonneville with a 'sold" tag on the bars. Perfect patina with the original paint.
This lovely Moto Guzzi is included for Bengt Phorqs. Even though he knows I'm, "not the Guzzi type."
