Steer Inn Diner 2013

All year I have been trying to get over to the Steer Inn Diner on the east side of Indy for their Vintage Bike Night.  I always like to show off my vintage 75 GL1000 but there have been problems...real and imagined.  There were weather problems, too hot or too cold, too rainy, too much like a tornado on the way.  Then there were problem with logistics such as we were having company or we were out of town.  After all since this event is held every month I could always put off going until next month.  Finally the day came when the Goldilocks Effect was in full force...everything was "just right." 

So MKH and I hopped on my 75 Honda Goldwing and made the trip to the East side.  I think I hit every pothole and manhole cover on Washington Street and believe me there were a lot of them.  My eyes must need to be checked because I would be squinting to try to read the street signs and then I'd hit a pothole.  There were a couple of them that I thought were going to bend the rims on my bike.

It was rewarding to pull into the parking lot and see about 100 bikes with their proud owners filling up all the available space in this little diner which was featured in an episode of Dives, Diners and Drive-Ins.

My wife and I both had the Steer Burger, which was a half a pound of beef on a bun.  MKH had the fries and I had the onion rings.  The onion rings were a little too done but the burger more than made up for it.

We saw a dozen or so from the Taco Tuesday crowd that meets in Brownsburg, IN every Tuesday night.  They had some of the nicest bikes there.  I had a chance to snap these pictures before they all took off in a puff of smoke.  I hope to make it back to the Steer Inn Diner in October.  Besides checking out the bikes I think I'll sample their meatloaf dinner.

Steer Inn Diner Bike Night 2012

It's New Year's Day 2013 and I'm looking through some of the photos of this past year.  This year for the first time I made it over to the east side of Indianapolis for the monthly Bike Night at the Steer Inn Diner.  I heard about the Steer Inn from the guys at Taco Tuesday Bike Night in Brownsburg so I decided to check it out.  It was a fun time looking at all the interesting bikes and at times even more interesting people coming and going throughout the evening.
I parked my naked vintage Goldwing, ordered a Coke, and began my stroll through the parking lot taking in all the sights and sounds and smells.  The guys from Brownsburg arrived and all together there must have been about 60 or so motorcycles of various description.  My tastes run toward custom and modified but it's fun to see the stock SOS motorcycles too (same old stuff).:-) There were some awesome specimens for any preference and everybody was pretty friendly.  Next time I'll be sampling the food, namely their cheeseburgers and milkshake.  I've heard Bike Night is a year round event.  Maybe I'll have to check out who shows up in January.  Here are some pics of some of the bikes.
