ROMEOS

Good to see everyone in Hoyt today! Bob, thanks again for your help with my Givi case.

Hoser,

Love it! Congrats on the quarter slots win.

What a trip! Yes, Tom, thanks for asking. I was nearly thawed out by the time I got home (still only 45 degrees). I had to wear everything I had packed for the trip except my swimsuit (which hadn't been used since the hotel pool was still in winter mode). My bike might be "naked", but that...

OR...we could all just show up at the bike show and sneak up on each other! We'll all know if you want to be found if you wear your day-glo ROMEO T-shirt!

Ken,

Huh. Well, that's a very interesting post. I'm not touchin' that one. No way.

Here are nine words that this woman prefers:

I'm going out for a ride on my bike!

Only you guys could turn a discussion about blood donations into a conversation about lunch! Yeesh.

Remember the rule about not donating blood if you have recently had ink done. Just sayin...

Jerry! As others have expressed, it is sad to see you go. You made me feel so welcome even though I don't (ahem) quite fit the demographic. The fact you both sold your house and found a house suggests you have good karma. May it continue deep in the heart of Texas! Thanks for all your work on the we...

This map and all its iterations brings us to a whole new level of adventure. Look beyond the soda fountains to the Capitals (Pecan, Water Sports, etc.), the "Largest", the "First", and so on, and it becomes clear that there is a lot of potential for group rides. Not that we need ...

Danny, I have always wanted to visit Podunk, East Bejesus, and other hidden getaways of the Midwest! But of course, what I know about the ROMEOs is that the destination is only part of the fun. The journey and the company are what really make it all come together. Ok, well, that and BBQ. ;) Shannon

Jerry, I agree that adhering to low speed limits in smaller towns is important for demonstrating respect to residents. Also, good point about riding in the left lane to reduce exposure. I have ridden with a Harley rider who used the throttle effectively to make his presence known in the midst of tra...

Hey, Smoke,

Thanks for the pictures of your bike. Looks to me like you are an expert at packing for a trip!

Thanks for this post on speed and stopping. I was talking with someone in training to be a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer), and I was informed that speed radar instrumentation is much more precise than the previous post suggests. I know someone who was pulled over going 2 mph over on Highway 7 (yes, i...

All of those, yes!, and I have already learned some new back roads. Bonus!

Thank you, Gentlemen, for these comments. Actually, my bike does have a name: Dante!

Hey All! You guys know how to have a good time! I've had fun with everyone I have met on the two rides this week! Thanks for the warm welcome even though I don't fit your demographic well. Ok, at all. I look forward to riding with you as my schedule permits. For those of you who haven't met me and t...
