2017 ROMEO MILEAGE REPORT


__ 803,061_ TOTAL MILES FROM __60____RIDERS LOGGED AS OF 3/7/18

CALLING ALL ROMEOs, the 2017 riding year has come to an end and it is time to turn in your miles. I am anxious to recording miles for the 2017riding year. This is not a contest and there will be no prizes, awards and no audit. I will post the information, if you will send me, 1) approximate miles ridden Jan-Dec 2016, 2) the motorcycles you rode this on—make, model and year, 2) your first name and city, 3) highlights of your riding this year. I know some of the numbers seem high but these are meant to be the number of miles you rode this year not the total miles you have ridden in your whole motorcycle riding career :o If you have a favorite picture of you and your motorcycle, seen it I will try to post it.

You may not think what you have done this year is of interest to anyone, but I think you would be surprised. I am always interested to hear how far guys are riding or if they just go to Romeo lunches, the different bikes guys enjoy riding, some are new, some old, some big, some small, and most of all where did you go this year. Maybe you went to Eskridge, KS or maybe to Alaska. Please share no matter how grand or how small everyone will enjoy. If you have been to a lunch. YOU ARE A ROMEO. If you don't know you mileage let us hear from you anyway. This is our only way of finding out who we are, what we are riding and where we are from.

Send info to Roger, twowheels2eat@yahoo.com

Only one long-ish trip and it was to Milwaukee to the Harley museum. We (my son, Craig and I) didn't realize it was also the weekend for the big Harley 2017 Milwaukee Rally--pretty cool--a Honda and a Kawasaki among 100's, maybe 1000's, of Harley Davidson's! I'm not sure what the deal is with the new Harley guys--2 Japanese motorcycles among all those those HD's, we found all tires were up and all the luggage was intact when we returned to our wheels, go figure. The museum was pretty interesting, esp. the info about the start of the company, but as far as the bikes, interesting, but how many 1943, what-ever head, Harleys do you need to see?? Another museum that we stopped in that was really good, was the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. It has a lot of different brands of motorcycles, as opposed to the Harley museum. AND, we found discount tickets on line for the NMM.

We do try & make the Tue, Wed & Fri Rides when we can. We couldn't make it to the Spring Rendezvous...We were under the weather & still recuperating.

30,016 miles....2012 Yamaha 1300 .... Ruth S.... Topeka, KS
Hay, this is Ruth A. Schuetz, been looking to post my mileage for 2017, finally remembered to look again. Was told I should Email you all the details. I ride a 2012 Yahama 1300 V-Star, and rode 30,016 miles in 2017. Penny, my riding buddy only rode about 6,000 before she was hit by a car on the 13th of June. I turned over 100,000 miles this year and now working on the 2nd 100,000. In 2017 I rode through Kansas into Colorado in July for a Women On Wheels® Ride-In. Through Nebraska, into Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming riding to and from Sturgis in August. Through Kansas, Oklahoma into Texas the end of September and through Missouri into ArKansas for two ROMEO Rendezvous. Making a total of 10 states for 2017.

The 21st of December I got myself a new riding bubby, so maybe she will get some miles this year.

Thanks for all you do for the ROMEOs
Ride with an Angel on Your Shoulder.

Two rides to Florida, Day rides to Va., Tenn., W Va. We have a group that meets every Wednesday for breakfast, then go for a 150 t0 200 mile ride. Weather permitting, I ride most every day. I enjoy reading about your rides and especially the photographs. Couldn’t ride for a month. Walked into a plate glass door. Broke 3 ribs. Bruised leg. You all be careful in a library!!

No overnight trips, back in the barn every night. I think the Romeos concept is brilliant and its leadership is so grassroots and under the radar I smile thinking about it. Ride on, Roger! Fair winds and following seas and thanks :-) :-)Steve E.... Denmark, KS
