ROMEOS

There wasn't a lot of enthusiasm for being a ROMEO today, but for the 8 that did show up it was a real good time! And we kept our store alive by having at least one motorcycle at every ride this year thanks to Craig, who showed up decked out in his best cold weather gear and proudly parked his Harl...

Although the snow is coming down as I am typing this notice, it is supposed to be cleared up by next Wednesday with clear skies and temperatures near 40. We'll still keep it pretty close in just in case, plus we haven't been here for about a year and everyone seems to like the food. They don't open...

Although somewhat chillier than it had been earlier in the week, it was still sunny and fairly pleasant, enough so that we had a lot of motorcycles today at the Vikings Grille, and 24 ROMEOS were in attendance for lunch. The food was excellent and the general consensus was that as large as the sing...

I think we should try a brand new place for a brand new year. We have never been here before but my wife and I checked this out just before the holidays and the food was really good and there's plenty of room. It must be good because their party room is booked every Wednesday at 11:00 for the rest ...

We have just recently concluded the annual website donation cycle with the following groups contributing: Texas, NW Arkansas, Kansas City, Eastern Kansas, South Central Kansas and North Central Kansas as well as two donations from individuals that I received in the mail. The fact that all groups co...

When you go outside and it's 16 degrees and there's light snow flakes falling, the first thing to cross your mind is "what a great day for a ROMEO ride!" I looked at my motorcycle, all primed and ready for a ride and then I thought about how good the heater works in my F-150. So I promptl...

There will be no ride on December 26th since it falls so close to Christmas Day. However for many years ROMEOS have unofficially gathered to celebrate the New Year with a "ride" to Green Acres in Vassar, Ks. Some years the weather has made it more of a drive than a ride, but for those tha...

We had a very nice turnout today for lunch at Dover. 32 ROMEOS, all but 2 on motorcycles, made the trek to the Sommerset Hall cafe in spite of a chilly, overcast day under the threat of light rain. Thankfully the rain held off and allowed all of us to make it out of there on dry roads. About half w...

Although many of us have made this a pie stop after a lunch ride sometime in the last year, I checked and the last time we had an official ROMEO lunch here was in November, 2017. Since this is a favorite stop for most of us, the weather looks about half decent for next week and all the roads leadin...

You just couldn't ask for a better December day for a ride! We had 27 ROMEOS show up today, most on 2 or 3 wheels with just a few cagers. The Almost Home Cafe is now the Country Home Cafe but it doesn't appear to have changed much in the transition to new ownership. The pancakes are still as big as...

It's been a little over a year since our last visit and that's a shame, because the food is about as good as it gets amongst the places we hit. They serve breakfast and lunch all day, so you can order whatever you want whenever you want however you want it. Just remember, if you order a pancake her...

It turned out to be what may be the nicest day of the week. Although chilly early this morning, it was in the mid 30's by riding time this morning and into the 40's for the ride home. 19 ROMEOS turned out for lunch at Henry's Grill, and there were 11 motorcycles in the lot, and most took advantage ...

It looks like it's going to be above freezing next week but probably not until you get home from lunch on Wednesday. So you'd better put on your long johns or plug in if you're going to ride to lunch at: Henry's Grill Topeka Harley Davidson 2047 SW Topeka Blvd. Topeka, KS 66612 785.845.9559 Or you ...

You could't ask for a much better day to ride than today regardless of the season. And I believe we had 27 ROMEOS today at Four Corners, all on 2 or 3 wheels. If you've missed hanging out with John Wayne, this is a great place to get your John Wayne on. Anywhere you look the Duke is with you! The l...

I know it's the day before Thanksgiving but it still seems like most of us are looking for a reason to get out of the house, and if it's even close to being nice we might even get a chance to ride. Don't know what your temperature tolerance is but it should be above freezing by mid morning and coul...

The long range forecast of 50 degrees turned into the reality of temperatures in the mid-30's around lunch time today. But 14 ROMEOS still decided to get out for lunch today, nearly half (well, sort of if you count bringing a motorcycle on a trailer). Most seemed to take advantage of the "brea...

Thanks to Swanee and Bucky for covering for me the last three weeks while my wife and I were out of town. It looks like the weather may clear up a bit and they're even predicting a high of 50 and sunny for next Wednesday, so it just might be a chance to get out for a short ride. Eastern Kansas has ...

I think that a break from the gloomy, chilly, wet weather made folks think that today might be a pretty nice day to get out and ride somewhere for lunch. And that place seemed to be Overbrook! If Hoser had been there he would have been pacing and mumbling about how hard his job was. In his absence,...

Lately the weather outside's been frightful, but next Wednesday it should be delightful. Well, at least it shouldn't be raining. Although it may be a little chilly early, the forecast calls for a high of 60 and sunny so we'll see! Anyway, TJ's doesn't open until 11 for lunch so it should be a littl...

The weather predictors were not quite on target today but at least the monsoon we have been experiencing had dwindled down to a mere trickle with a few sprinkles occasionally coming out for our entertainment. But with cloudy skies and a high of 54 degrees it is a reminder of what's to come although...
