ROMEOS

It was a beautiful late summer day and even though the high was supposed to reach 89 degrees this afternoon, it was a very pleasant ride home. We had a nice turnout today, wasn't sure what to expect but I believe we had 27 ROMEOS in total. This restaurant isn't very big but they have a nice annex i...

A different direction this week, but the same theme as last week-a return to our roots of visiting restaurants in small towns, just like the pioneers who headed west in covered wagons! Only you get to do it on a fancy contraption with all the bells and whistles and rubber tires. Yep, we're headed t...

It was a perfect day for a ride to Soldier, KS. All the roads leading there are great to ride and the two big hills at the south end of Hwy 62 never disappoint. I had told her that she could expect between 20-30 and when all was said and done we ended up with 29 ROMEOS in attendance. Some of the ea...

Welcome to September! It appears that we'll have a day for riding that more fits the season. Right now predictions are for sunny and a high of 82 degrees . Now this is a destination that really takes us back to our roots, the reason ROMEO was founded: supporting small restaurants in small Kansas to...

Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday but I guess I'm a little out of practice with the routine of posting! Makes me appreciate Al and his dedication to Eastern Kansas Romeos! And speaking of Al, due to a visit from his brother which I'm sure he enjoyed, it's too bad he didn't get to enjoy the c...

I mentioned last week that our fearless leader would be back this week, but it is taking him a bit longer to get mobile than he thought it would. Although he is much better he decided he needed another week to heal up but he should be back for real next week. It was a gorgeous day to ride and when ...

As it turned out, neither prediction came true, of heavy rain or mid-90's temps. It was a beautiful day to ride with overcast skies and temps in the mid-70's. After all this rain, everything is lush and green so it makes for a very scenic ride no matter which way you go. Al is still recovering from...

OK, OK, I know I said that last week was my last ride set-up for awhile. But when Al decided on the way home that a good way to meet a woman his own age was to pull out into an intersection on the green and hope that that woman would run a red light. Well, his plan worked but after she broad-sided ...

Just goes to show ya', I set up this ride for 9:30 to beat the heat, and it turns out we had one of the best riding days of the spring/summer so far! Although we had a pretty violent wind/rain storm around 2:30 AM, by the time it was time to saddle up and head out things had dried out and there was...

For many years Mayetta was on our regular rotation at the old Whisle Stop Cafe but as quality and service declined under several changes of ownership we took it off our list and apparently a lot of other people did as well because it closed around the end of 2017 and the building was vacant until 2...

The day started out with a look at the radar and a storm system stretched from Nebraska to Oklahoma along a line heading slowly northeast, indicating rain pretty much all day. So the decision was obviously to get out the motorcycle and ride to lunch! And that was the strategy for 3 ROMEOS, John E, ...

We have never been to Lago Vista, at least in it's current format. For many years this was basically a take-out burger joint in a tiny building in beautiful downtown Ozawkie. But several years ago, Miguel, one of the owners transformed this into a combination Mexican/burger/sandwich place, added a ...

Even with quite a large number of ROMEO'S "riding around Nebraska", the beautiful weather and a perfect riding day made the trip to Paxico for lunch a destination ride for 25 ROMEOS. This is a quaint little downtown area and a really nice place for lunch. The staff was extremely hospitabl...

This should be a fun one. I scoped this out a year ago and hoped we'd get a chance to try this one sometime, and I think now is the time. Forecast so far is sunny with a high of 80 so it's still pretty decent for a lunch ride and you can get home before it gets too hot. I think you will enjoy visit...

It seemed like a pretty good idea that we made this ride a little closer in this week as the drippy skies made a shorter ride a little more palatable and a car ride a little more practical. But we still had 21 show up today and I believe there were at least 5 motorcycles in the lot and possibly a c...

I had been planning on scheduling a ride a little further out at a really interesting place we've never been, but I'm putting that one on hold to wait for a little better weather forecast for a longer ride. Instead, I've scheduled a different new place for us that is a little closer in so if it's a...

You couldn't ask for a better day for a motorcycle ride! Approximately 26 ROMEO's made the trek to Wamego for lunch at the 4th & Elm B&G. The count is approximate because this group can't sit still at the same time and I have a short attention span! The food was very good and they had a ver...

We’re going to head west this week to a familiar town but a new-to-Romeo lunch spot. I’ve ridden by this place many times but decided we needed to hit this one up for lunch. The burgers are phenomenal and the menu has a ton of lunch choices. If the burgers don’t strike your fancy, then maybe the pa...
