Here's the story on the room rate. Starting April 1st the room rate's go to $109.00. For the ROMEO'S the rate will be $79.00. With that comes a full hot breakfast. We thought you ROMEO'S deserved the best.

Bucky hit a home run with this years Romeo Rendezvous in Eureka Springs! Fantastic weather, great food and awesome riding.
We did have one incident, Duffie went down, not his fault a car stopped short to turn, he had Romeo brothers with him at the scene and more when he was loaded into the air evac chopper at Turpentine Creek Cat Refuge. He had some road rash and broken ribs, but should make a full recovery. Roger and Melissa rode all the way around Arkansas to get to the Rendezvous and we're glad they made it. I'll post the awards ceremony later, so check back for more![attachment=17]04-28-15 Romeos AR 030.JPG[/attachment][attachment=16]04-28-15 Romeos AR 029.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]04-28-15 Romeos AR 033.JPG[/attachment][attachment=14]04-28-15 Romeos AR 037.JPG[/attachment][attachment=13]04-28-15 Romeos AR 043.JPG[/attachment][attachment=12]04-29-15 Romeos AR 001.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]04-29-15 Romeos AR Gary 030.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]04-29-15 Romeos AR 006.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]04-29-15 Romeos AR 007.JPG[/attachment][attachment=8]04-29-15 Romeos AR 039.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]04-29-15 Romeos AR 089.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]04-29-15 Romeos AR 195.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]04-29-15 Romeos AR 213.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]04-29-15 Romeos AR 260.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]04-29-15 Romeos AR 301.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]04-29-15 Romeos AR 304.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]04-29-15 Romeos AR 305.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]04-29-15 Romeos AR 316.JPG[/attachment]

While we were taking the tour we could hear sirens on the hwy.  The air evac and ambulance met at the cat refuge.  Gary helped land the chopper (Viet Nam job) and we found out it was one of us, Duffy, and we stayed with him as much as possible till they flew off for Fayetteville.

If you had a chance to talk to Gibdo, he is literally the most interesting motorcyclist in the world. He has raced or ridden in 17 countries around the world, built award winning custom bikes, rides a 1930's Harley he restored in parades and has a great sense of humor.  He was there with his daughter.

We found out if you don't want to do something, Mick will step up!  Great job as moderator, we appreciate all you do for the Romeos.
