Hey everyone. Found a great place with awesome riding roads. I have an 11am reservation at the Rockbridge Trout Ranch. I just spoke to the nicest gal Charlotte who took my reservation. Great food .. trout of course, burgers, delish desserts, etc. As for directions from mountain home, take 201 north right up to highway 160 (by Millers Country Store). Left on highway 160. Before you get to Gainesville, take a right on 181. Then take a left on highway N. You’ll run right into the trout ranch. Hope you can make it. Weather looks great. See you soon.

Beautiful day everyone. Several of us are going to meet at the Mountain Home Salvation Army parking lot at 9:45am on Thursday 3/26 for the ride to Rockbridge, M0. Join us if you can or we will just see you at the Rockbridge Trout Ranch at 11am. Amazing as it is .. it was one year ago today when the team rode to the same place. I’ve never been there. I’m real excited. Table is reserved. Come on and join us.
Be safe .. see you there.

Re: Lunch, Thursday, March 26 @11am - Rockbridge Trout Ranch in Rockbridge, Missouri
Another really fun RTE up to Rockbridge Missouri at the Rockbridge Trout Farm. I met Todd Merryman in Gassville Ark at our Exxon meeting place at 9:20am. We then rode over to the Salvation Army in Mountain Home and met up with Neil Smith and Mike Newlun. We waited until 9:45am before launching north. We took 201 to 160 to 181 to highway N. Very nice ride. I led the group to the restaurant. When we arrived, there were 7 other motorcyclists hanging out and enjoying the great weather and beautiful Rockbridge Trout Farm setting. The other seven were Glenn Brouwer, Mike and Marsha McClendon, Jeff Smith, Fred Harmon, Ted Terrel, and one more Mike .. and I apologize .. I’m still searching for your last name. So 11 in total. A very nice turnout.
Food was good .. not the cheapest but as Fred said, there are no longer restaurants with cheap prices. Fred tells it like it is and I like that.
Shelby was our server. She was super sweet. She did a good job.
Thank you Rockbridge Trout Farm for the nicest ROMEO welcome sign to date and for the fine hospitality. We will see you again.

- Todd Merryman’s Z900 Kawasaki. Glad Todd continues to
Join our rides. Never want to make him late to work. He has to be home by 2pm so he sometimes has to skedaddle right after eating. Great having him along.
-
- Ed’s Breva 1100 Moto Guzzi
-
- Neil Smith all color coordinated today. Not a bad looking jacket for 15 bucks. Compliments of Cuznbob.
-
- Todd checking on the delivery status of his new Pioneer mini split. Dealing with some crazy delivery company. I thought he was just calling his wife Michelle to let her know he made it to the Salvation Army meet-up location. Todd is a man’s man. When it comes to communication .. less is always more and more is just too much. I could learn from him … ratchet down my loquaciousness just a bit.
-
- Neil always covers his bike with his jacket after we park. There’s always one in the bunch.
-
- Mike Newlun was telling Neil Smith to stay and watch the bikes while we ate. Neil loves volunteering for anything. He patrols our bikes now and then while we enjoy our food.
-
- Mike Newlun, Fred Harmon and Marsha McClendon having a nice conversation. Love those beautiful Triumph Scramblers. Ted Terrel has a nice Shadow too. Looks like he’s ready for a cross country trip.
-
- It was Fred Harmon’s turn to keep a close watch on me to make sure I act my age. He never took his eyes off me. Glenn fiddling with something way at the end of the line.
-
- Mike and Glen chilling in the sun. I will find Mike’s last name and document it ! May just call him Mike #4.
-
- Mike and Marsha McClendon. Real nice meeting you both today. Please check our Romeo website or Facebook and join us often.
-
- Fred Harmon noticed I was sitting across from him so he decided to just stand … actually he sat next to Dr. Neil Smith … and thank God he did. He helped Neil trouble shoot his ongoing V11 Sport vapor lock impediment. Someone help Neil please.
-
- Fred told Shelby to pour that ice water on me. I also owed Neil lunch today because he bought my lunch at Fun Days this week. I think I had a $7 hamburger and a coke. He decided to order the pecan crusted crab and shrimp roasted trout dinner. Thanks Neil. No .. Neil is thoughtful. He just got the $17 dollar basic burger.
-
- 11 today. We had a really nice time.
-
- 11 bikes all lined up. Glad we had a good turnout !
-
- My buddy Mr. Ted Terrel. Thank you Ted for those cool Road Runner magazines. Join us often.
-
- Jeff Smith said he’s been hitting the weights lately. He stood there with that pose for what seemed like 10 minutes. Glenn couldn’t believe it. Actually Jeff was a good sport and posed for me. Great shot Jeff .. and you do look quite buffed.
-
- Ok there’s Mike #4 again. What is that man’s last name. He’s a great guy. Want him to come back !! I’ll get your head in the next shot Todd.
-
- Believe that’s Marsha’s Triumph Scrambler along with Mike Newlun’s FZ1 rocket. I really love Mike McClendon’s orange 1200 Scrambler. Like to buy one but my wife has just about had it with more bikes. Not good. Help !
-
- Mike Newlun and that FZ1 missle again. Great pic !
-
- Glenn’s tricked Kawasaki and Jeff’s 1600 Beemer. I also like that Bell helmet of Glenn’s. I’m in line to buy it. It’s a beautiful helmet .. it’s never touched the ground.
-
- A few more of our team’s beautiful bikes. I’m still digging that BMW 1600.
-
- Few more fine machines. I told Ted I would try to get his Shadow in every pic.
-
- Ted’s nice Shadow again next to the McClendons’ Scramblers and Mr. Newlun’s FZ1.
-
- There’s that orange scrambler again ! Our team’s has very nice bikes.
-
- Neil Smith and Mike Newlun. Like the Nuke and Pave shirt. Think that refers to reformatting a computers hard drive. Mike is also a big Yamaha man. I am too. I’ve had a number of them. All two strokes. Love those two strokes. Also, you are looking good Mike. 180 yet ?! I’m jealous.
-
- Mr. Todd Merryman. We had a nice ride down to Rockbridge today.
-
- Love the colorful welcome sign. Always adds just a bit of festiveness to our RTEs. Thank you Rockbridge.
-
- Beautiful setting at Rockbridge.
-
- Love the waterfalls. Great place.
-
- Thank you Rockbridge Trout Farm for accommodating us. We had a nice time.
