ROMEOS

This was meant to be!! I was out riding last Wednesday to no where in particular when I saw a Goldwing and a new Voyager up ahead on US 56 east. I fell in the tailgunners position and rode with them from McPherson to Emporia. My intent was to ask about the Voyager as I ride a Nomad and am looking to buy a new bike next year. We all pulled in at a Quizno's in Emporia and I introduced myself and asked about the bike. After we discussed the merits of the Voyager they asked if I was going to the picnic. I had no idea what they meant and they explained the Romeo's and that peaked my interest. I am sorry I forgot these guys names but they were from Mounridge (CRS is in effect here).

I rode over to Peter Pan Park and saw some guys parking their bikes. Told them that somebody told me there were a bunch of old guys on motorcycles around there but I didn't see any and neither had they. (Just kidding!! They were all about my age.) Anyways, I had already committed to having a chicken dinner at the Chicken House in Olpe so I couldn't stay. (I would recommend this as a dining place in the future.)

However, I have joined up and look forward to meeting all you guys as I am a retired Fed employee, 62 years young, ride a 2005 Kawasaki Nomad with about 62,000 miles on it. (It isn't a garage Queen and rarely rides a trailer.) I live in Lyons, KS and Emporia was where I grew up. Viet Nam vet hence the RVN VET moniker and am married with 6 grandkids. Nothing else I can think of so I will quit rambling on. CYA
