ROMEOS

It will be almost a year to the day since we did a lunch at Dover so it's definitely time to go back. With the forecast temps creeping up a little we might luck up and get another halfway decent day for a ride, or then there could still be snow all around leftover from Monday's forecast that is pre...

Turned out a beautiful day that was cold to start out with but not nearly as cold as the weather guys were predicting last week. The result was we had 28 people at Perry today and at least 18 put on warm gear and decided to ride. A pretty good turnout for our group in the middle of December--more t...

It's supposed to be colder than most of us like to ride Wednesday, so a place that's not far away sounds good, and this one's worth a short trip on any number of wheels. We haven't been there since February and they have big hot & hearty pork tenders that are always a favorite as well as other ...

We had 20 motorcycles today and I think just about everyone who came was on 2 or 3 wheels because that's about how many of us were inside at Froggy's as best I could count. Pretty chilly to start out with, but by the time everyone was done eating and gabbing in the parking lot it had turned into a ...

Agree "Unsuppressable" would be at least one of the adjectives Bucky has earned over the years :lol: However, the two wet-butt riders yesterday were actually Cliff (pictured with CanAm) and Mike (that's his GW in the other bike pic). They should have been mentioned by name for saddling up...

Well, the picture-perfect riding weather they had forecast didn't exactly happen this morning to say the least. Instead it was rain, rain and more rain along with temps that barely nudged out of the lower 50's until noon. I drove and got rained on the entire way down from Topeka, but of the seven o...

The Southeast KS as well as KC ROMEO groups have been to this newer restaurant and Garnett is a town that's in our Eastern KS "ride radius" too. We've been down that way many times but haven't been in awhile. For our group, this Garnett eatery is a new place though several of us have dine...

Bump

Had 42 who came out to Pomona on another perfect weather day--let's hope our luck holds into the fall! It may be under new management, but Gregorio's team delivered the good service we've gotten used to at Amigos, even with a crowd filling the main room plus a good portion of the patio area as well...

We haven't been to Amigos since last fall and haven't done Mexican in a couple of months anyway. Amigos is now under new management and the guy I spoke with, Gregorio, said he will be very pleased to have us coming there to try out their cuisine that he said is much like Amigos had before but "...

Great day and good turnout with 43 at the Hilltop including a couple of newcomers to welcome and hope they'll make ROMEO a habit. Turned out Hwy. 192 was passable this morning after the high water so nobody had to take the long way around unless they just wanted to on a perfect day. Apology re the ...

JUST A HEADS UP: Looks like a possible road closure due to flooding on Hwy. 192 right at Easton (Hilltop Market is actually a couple miles east of there and they are definitely OPEN--I called them to make sure). Riders coming from the west might want to take Hwy. 92 instead of 192, then go north on...

Our Eastern KS group hasn't been to Hilltop in well over a year (April 2018 actually). Visited there with the KC bunch a couple of months back and it dawned on me we hadn't been there in a long time. Was looking for a day with (hopefully) good weather because it's good riding up that way, a directi...

We more than doubled our turnout from the first visit to Ann's Diner, with at least 30 ROMEOs today if I managed to get 'em all counted. Majority came for breakfast with some leaving early to take as much advantage as they could of another comfortable riding day like yesterday, when several of our ...

Coming back from breakfast at Colony this morning I happened to notice that Ann's Diner seems to be a popular spot in Lyndon during the noon hour--and for good reason. We went there for the first time a few months ago during the spring, on a day that rain was threatening and some were out of town a...

This morning some unexpected popcorn storms peppered the vicinity between Topeka and Wamego but they cleared out--just in time for the heat and humidity to start ramping up when the sun came out. We ended up with what I'd call a "smattering" of come-and-go ROMEOs numbering about 15 by the...

Well it's mid-July and huge surprise all the forecasts say HOT. So for those who want to beat the heat let's go to a place that has really good breakfast and lunch too for those who prefer. This place is known for what Larry#3 described as "the best bacon in the universe" so thick and hea...

We had a pretty darn good turnout, around 40 in all, who first started trickling in around 9:30 then a whole bunch more headed toward Westmoreland once they decided clouds to the north that looked kind of threatening were nothing to worry about after all. Actually bit of cloud cover made for some c...

Another "back by request" is the good ole South 40 Cafe in Westmoreland. Looks like KC ROMEO will hit Garnett on Tuesday, which is great, since some of us can pay a visit south on one day and then head west the next. Reasonably dry if a bit warm weather is what they're predicting right no...

We had 24 bikes, 25 people and 2 dogs show up in Council Grove today on what turned out to be such a near-perfect riding day I thought the crowd might be more like the size of last week. Those scattered storms one forecast said might start up around noon were nowhere to be seen around that part of ...
