RIDE REPORT: BRADLEY’S CORNER CAFE, TOPEKA, KS

I'm happy to report that there were only 11 ROMEO'S that had nothing better to do on the day before Thanksgiving than to ride to Bradley's Corner Cafe for a bite to eat and a little conversation. Of the 11 that showed, 7 of them rode motorcycles in the brisk 35 degree morning air! As usual, Bradley...

RIDE REPORT: October 15, The Elevator, Valley Falls, KS

Scheduling a ride to Valley Falls wouldn't seem to be that much of a challenge, but road and railroad construction in the area posed some interesting challenges in making the trek up Highway 4. Actually, the trek up 4 wasn't a challenge, it was just getting to Highway 4 that seemed to be problemati...

October 15, 11:00 Lunch, The Elevator, Valley Falls, KS

We haven't been here since July, 2024 and everyone seemed to enjoy it last time so let's give it another go.They don't open until 11:00 and I told them we'd be there then, pushing our noses up against the door waiting for them to open. I'm hoping for another perfect weather day like we had for our ...

RIDE REPORT: October 8, LUNCH, Sweet Sassy Molassey, Mayetta, KS

If there's better weather or a time of year for a motorcycle ride to a small town cafe, I can't imagine where or when it would be. 70 degrees and sunny, a really good restaurant, good friends to ride with; it doesn't get better than that. And 26 ROMEOS took advantage of the opportunity to have eith...

October 8, 11:00 LUNCH, Sweet Sassy Molassey, Mayetta, KS

We have been to this restaurant many times over the years but not since it has new owners. Sweet Sassy Molassey is drawing rave reviews for a small town cafe and has been featured recently on Topeka television as a place to go. So let's give it a go. They start serving lunch at 11:00 and a friend t...

RIDE REPORT October 1, Hilda's Diner, Eskridge, KS

I wasn't certain what kind of attendance we'd have today in Eskridge due to several of our group attending the Rendezvous in Arkansas this week, but I was pleasantly surprised that 26 ROMEOS showed up either for a late breakfast or an early lunch. And it was worth the trip. Hilda put out a tasty br...

October 1, 11:00 AM Lunch, Hilda's Diner, Eskridge, KS

Since it's officially fall, it seems perfectly appropriate to schedule a ride into the Flint Hills for lunch. It's been quite awhile since we've been to Eskridge and I've heard lots of good things about Hilda's Diner. As of today, the weather looks perfect for a ride down two of the best roads in o...

September 24 RIDE REPORT, Drunk Bernard Tavern, Scranton, KS

The Drunk Bernard's reputation for good hamburgers should remain intact after today's lunch was in the books. Those burgers are about as good as they get and the other food lived up to its billing as well. The daily special, goulash, seemed to be a popular choice as well and was apparently quite ta...

September 24, 11:00 AM, Drunk Bernard Tavern, Scranton, KS

In the olden days, pre-covid, this building was a regular stop for the Romeo's. It was then called the Scranton Tavern, and I believe the last time we had a ride here was March, 2020! It was renamed the Drunken Bernard shortly after. It was then known for having one of the BEST HAMBURGERS in Easter...

Re: Sept. 17, RIDE REPORT, Finer than a Frog Hair Bar & Grill, Denison, KS

Well it seemed to be a finer day for a ride to the Finer than a Frog Hair B & G yesterday. According to Sam, the owner of the Frog Hair, they served 27 ROMEOS some lunch. And from the looks of the number of motorcycles lining Main Street, actually Central Avenue, we got most of the prime parkin...

Sept. 17, 11:00 AM Lunch, Finer than a Frog Hair Bar & Grill, Denison, KS

It's that time of year for better riding weather and a chance to try some new places and here's one that ROMEO's have never visited. This local joint is located in the fine city of Denison and I'm sure there will be plenty of free parking within walking distance of the front door. They were excited...

Re: AUGUST 13TH, BREAKFAST / LUNCH, 9AM-11 AM, OLD 56 FAMILY RESTURANT, OLATHE, KS

I think we had over 30 show up at the Old 56 Family Restaurant in Olathe for breakfast/lunch. I arrived about 10:20 and quite a few had already left, but between the pictures Al took and the ones I got of later arrivals I believe we got everyone covered in at least one photo. Even though it heats u...

Re: July 16, Lunch 11:00 AM. Wooden Spoke Restaurant, Baldwin, KS

I apologize for the late posting of ride photos but life got in the way. But here they are. When I posted the ride last week the weather looked iffy, 60% chance of rain, but that disappeared and we had a beautiful morning for a ride. Although it heated up later in the day, it was a pleasant morning...

It looks like the temperatures for next week are a bit more reasonable for mid-July but there is also the threat of rain all week but it varies day to day. Just in case, I’m scheduling this week’s lunch ride in a centrally located spot for most of us so if the weather isn’t to your liking you could...
