ROMEOS

OK, I've thought about this one a lot and it's a little bit different and a stretch of our normal territory, but I think you'll like it. (Remember, Jimmy Buffett says "changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes".) Roger Shores had mentioned that he heard that Sue Smith, the woman who owns...

If you weren't able to ride your motorcycle somewhere today, I hope you get well soon, because with the weather today if you didn't ride, you had to be ill! I told the owner of the Cattlemens' Grill to plan for around 25 today and 24 showed up so I ate enough at the buffet for 2!It was good to get ...

I would like to thank Swanee for doing a great job in my absence. It looked like everyone had a great time and we had a good turnout for this time of year. Also a big thanks to Linda for photos and Bill for posting the ride reports. It is sure fun to keep up with the rides when you are unable to at...

Wednesday seems to stand for "Rainy Day" in ROMEO world as it seems like that's been the way it is the last few weeks. And today was no exception. But it didn't stop 25 ROMEOS, the majority on motorcycles, from making the trek to Smoked Creations in Ottawa today for some outstanding "...

I would like to thank all of you that contributed so generously to either/or both the Harold Eulert Memorial Fund or for maintenance and upgrades to the ROMEO website. Through voluntary contributions made at the Rendezvous banquet on Wednesday night, we raised $180 for the website fund and $147 for...

I've been hearing good reports about this restaurant so I decided to check it out on my way home from the Fall Rendezvous, and it really lived up to its reputation. I think you'll really like the wide selection with absolutely FABULOUS brisket sandwiches on a slider bun for as little as $2.99! Or i...

It is with regret that we announce the passing of one of our own Eastern Kansas ROMEOS.Harold Eulert,85, was the victim of a tragic motorcycle accident last Friday in Topeka. The funeral will be Friday morning at St. John's Lutheran (9th & Fillmore). Visitation will be Thursday evening at Penwe...

bump ?

Since this is "Fall Rendezvous Week in Arkansas, I know several of you will be out of town, but for the majority of us, we need to have our normal Wednesday lunch ride. It's been awhile since we visited the Santa Fe Cafe in Burlingame so it's about time we met up for lunch there. They are open...

Early this morning it looked like the Eastern Kansas ROMEO'S were cursed again by the weather gods as it was raining steadily up until around 7:30. But it slowly tapered off and we had around 30 in attendance today even if there were several that arrived in what didn't resemble motorcycle riding ge...

This isn't a very creative destination for next week, but it's low risk. I keep looking at the weather and we seem to be in a rain cycle and the prediction for next Wednesday is 50% chance of rain, high of 79. But it's hard to predict when it might happen, so next Wednesday if it's raining, don you...

This morning about 5:15 AM when lightning struck what at first I thought was "at the foot of my bed" and I jumped up to look outside at the pouring rain, my first thought was, "It's a great day to be a ROMEO!" Then as I watched what turned out to be about 3" of rain falling...

We are going a bit south this week, to beautiful Lake Pomona, to dine at the Lamont Hill Golf Clubhouse. It has been quite some time since we've been here as I believe Don set up a ride here in August, 2009 with possibly a return trip in 2010. Roger and I were riding back from Leroy a couple of wee...

The weather looked a little threatening, especially in the north, this morning. But aside from a few sprinkles around Nortonville, it was a beautiful morning to ride. In fact, it actually felt a little chilly, and with the corn starting to turn, one gets the feeling that fall is upon us. The Main S...

The weather is supposed to break a little this weekend, with a bit cooler temperatures on tap by Wednesday, August 27. This will be a lunch ride as this place is not open for breakfast during the week, but she will open around 10:30 for lunch for us on that day. We stopped in here for pie a few wee...

The warm front that worked its way in yesterday was 'as advertised' and it got into the upper 90's this afternoon, but that didn't stop a large number of ROMEOS from taking advantage of the opportunity to dine at the Dinner Bell and peruse the Spring Creek Classics cars and museum in Wetmore. It wa...

I got a call from Susan at the Dinner Bell Cafe in Wetmore this afternoon and she informed me that the tour bus she was expecting for breakfast at 8:45 AM had changed their plans and would not be there for breakfast as planned. So if any of you want to show up at 8:45 AM for breakfast, feel free to...
