ROMEOS

12 of us and our newest romeo, Larry from Harrison. 4 of us took the Peel Ferry back and met up with another mostly Spyder group--Mark had a new road "U" off of 125 that took us through Theodosia on 160 . A few photos:

Welcome to ROMEOS Larry. I enjoyed visiting with you in Harrison last week and test riding your BMW. I hope you can make it to our ride/meet in Diamond city on Wednesday (and many more). BTW--great stable of bikes Leo

Looks rain free so far. They open at 11. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-bunker-bar ... ead-hill-2

Cold blustery ride there (and back)--but great food and good conversation. Mike brought his neighbor Joe on his new Harley and Don rode his new 2023 RTL. Forgot outside pix (ok-next time).
Best not to schedule a ride for next week because of the 1.5 million gawkers expected (and the rain later)

Lets try one more ride/meet before the world ends during the eclipse . Printing Press at 10A on Wednesday.

It has been almost 6 months since we met there and Thursday should warm up nicely when the sun pops up. We have several potential new ROMEOS on the e-mail list and I hope they can make it. I'm pretty sure breakfast is served until 10:30 so plan your arrival according to your preference. https://www....

They missed all the storm damage and will be open for us on Wednesday at 9:30. Bring a new rider so we can "grow" the ROMEOS. https://www.restaurantji.com/mo/bakersf ... ime-cafe-/

Thanks Mike--I appreciate the photo help. Wonder how the "offroad" entourage did. Just a little comment on "Cookies" today. Gals were great but probably not the regular cook and the prices have almost doubled since last year. Makes "Guffy's" in Bakersfield look better a...

They are back open for the season 7 days per week. Right now Tuesday looks clear weatherwise. Tuesday at 9:30 https://tmrbullshoals.net/dining Also, next month is the annual "Fools in April" gathering at Pome de Terre lake. Info here: https://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8170

I didn't realize it had been so long that we had met there (they said they really miss us). 9 :30 on Wednesday, between the rain predicted for the days on either side.

Bob has just informed me that he (and Bill) are planning the annual "fools" campout (or motel) event for this year. Same place at outlet park and the dates are : Arrive Friday, April 19th and depart Sunday 21st. The fee for the firewood and camp site use has gone up slightly to $25--payabl...

We have not been there in quite some time but Steve said it is good. 9am on Tuesday (while the weather is decent).

Staying sort of close until it warms up a bit --and Guffy's is the best breakfast (and price) anywhere. 10Am on Tuesday

I called them to make sure the "Red Hat Ladies" were not scheduled at the same time ;) . 10 am on Thursday. Also you may want to mark your calendars for May 20th-22nd for the Spring Get together here in Mountain Home. Read more: https://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8105 We wi...

Pretty good ribs at "Backroads"--and I took a couple photos: Finally figured out (with help) how to load the photos from my phone to "pictures" without loading the entire steenking phone (a microsoft update) :roll: . I just check the ones I want--e-mail them to myself then downlo...

Lets go "North" for a change to Backroads BBQ. One of the employee's bought the business from "Hucklebucks" . They open at 11 so that would be a good time to storm the door. I told them that if it rains, we would make it some other time. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Rev...

14 of us made this one with heated gear not required. Neat thing about Jo-Jo's is all the orders come out HOT with plenty of extras and priced less than a "Big mac" meal. I mentioned to some of the guys that the "Barn Cafe" in Oakland is now permanently closed and "Hucklebuc...

They should be ready for us (11:30 on Thursday) and temps look pretty decent that day. Also--we have a new ROMEO on our "e-list" , Steve H from "Naturally Beemers" of which I had been a member for many years when I was still tent camping. Maybe Steve will bring some others. I hav...

Weather does not look very promising (ice, rain etc)--so probably best to wait until the next week. Besides that, my Spyder still would not fire even with a new battery so off to Pit Bull soon (glad I purchased the extended warranty)

4 bikemike now?--congrats
