Today was the perfect day for riding, especially if you had a large sail and were willing to "tack" to your destination. But 30 mph winds with gusts up to 45 coming up from the south didn't seem to stop the 25 ROMEO'S who made it to Westmoreland today for breakfast/lunch.[attachment=21]DSCN3383.JPG[/attachment][attachment=20]DSCN3384.JPG[/attachment][attachment=19]DSCN3385.JPG[/attachment][attachment=18]DSCN3386.JPG[/attachment][attachment=17]DSCN3387.JPG[/attachment][attachment=16]DSCN3388.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]DSCN3389.JPG[/attachment][attachment=14]DSCN3390.JPG[/attachment][attachment=13]DSCN3391.JPG[/attachment][attachment=12]DSCN3392.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]DSCN3394.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]DSCN3395.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]DSCN3397.jpg[/attachment][attachment=8]DSCN3398.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]DSCN3399.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]DSCN3400.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]DSCN3401.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]DSCN3402.JPG[/attachment]After lunch, 11 Eastern Kansas ROMEO'S decided to join the North Central group in Miltonvale at 12:30 for pie. Since it was only 72 miles in 40 mph winds, that seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.[attachment=3]DSCN3403.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]DSCN3407.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN3405.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCN3406.JPG[/attachment]When I pulled the Indian into the garage at the end of the day, the trip odometer had 328 miles, not a bad day's work for a ROMEO. Hope everyone had a fun day and navigated the winds home safely. All in all, another great day…to be a ROMEO.

This was the scene when pulling up to the South 40 Cafe at 10:30. Most of the group had already arrived.
Pretty much had the north side covered.
Keith sampled the healthy option: chicken salad and fruit bowl-actually very tasty.
James went the other direction: heart attack on a plate.
And Larry #2, obviously preparing himself for assumption full time of the Coordinator duties for EK ROMEO'S, selected the ever-popular burger option.
This was obviously an unauthorized use of the official camera, borrowed by Roger.
Lively conversation at the grown-ups table.
The Manhattan contingent arrived looking good as usual.
Roger spent quite a long time in the mens' restroom, obviously fascinated with this wall decoration. If anyone can provide insight into the origin and potential use of this item, please email Roger Shores. And no Harry, it is not a big toothpick.
Tis the season to be Hoppy.
Another dose of wisdom collected by Roger while spending an inordinate amount of time in the rest room and its environs.
Don seems to have deemed this issue "settled".
Coordinator-in-waiting Larry #2 is consulting with his executive staff.
For those of us who know Larry #1, it comes as no surprise that he is...
Eastern Kansas and Kansas City coordinators planning strategy.
Just shows you that not all the grease stays in the burgers.
When we got to Miltonvale we figured out why the North Central group is so popular. Google Earth's map vehicle must follow them around.
The Google guy needed to adjust his camera for the group shot of the combined EK and NC Romeo groups. In the future, expect to see ROMEO'S featured in ground view shots of Miltonvale main street.
The Kountry Kafe in Miltonvale.
Nice to know there is medical care available close by when you start eating two lunches in one day.
Great to see that you got to ride the Indian Mick! Many more great rides to you! AND, one has to wonder at your application of the "adult" caption uner one of the photo's.
