Who let this Old Geezer out on the roads of Iowa?   Accessories include, Aviana on the helmet (How can I leave my dog at home?); Leis around the neck & on the handle bars about 8-10 strings of beads, all for kids and helpers along the way this day (ala New Orleans Mardi Gras).  The kids love the beads thrown to them.
