A day out in Austin.

So I had a few days off in Austin, and yesterday being so sunny and nice out, I decided to go out and get some photos in the city. I rode through the U.T.-University campus for a shot of one of the two more famous landmarks, which are the UT-clocktower, 1935,which has some macabre history to it, (read up on Charles Joseph Whitman) and the other is the Texas State Capitol building, which is similiar to the National one in D.C., only it's about 15 ft taller. :D hahaha always bigger in Texas. LOL
U.T. was founded in 1836, and the clock tower was erected over the main building in 1935. It was closed for 23 years starting in 1975, after Charles Whitman went on a killing spree, and snipered 14 people, eventually dying at the hands of police who stormed the tower top.

I rode by Lovejoy's to see what time they opened, and cause I wanted a beer....:( not till 4pm. But I did see this clapped out Ducati out front. Gnarly rat bike, too cool.

After a nice ride for a few hours, I stopped at Mt. Bonnel to get a quick view of the city, took a couple photos and then meandered through the city





.

Eventually, I ended up at Lovejoys, after a couple hashers said they'd meet up there. Saw these really cool bikes out front, and after talking to the bartender, found out they belong to them. A chopped and custom old BMW airhead (ABC) with the side jugs, and a killer looking 750 Norton Commando.

After that we ended up at Mean Eyed Cats for a few beers, and then some chicken wings...."you can't drink all day, unless you start in the morning"
