ROMEOS

Glad we got Jerry to open up the registration again--but he had to turn it off yesterday due to a barrage of spammers. I am also a euro/brit lover as thats where I started out. By joining you could now post some photos of your past fav bikes in the "general discussion" tab. Everything post...

Thanks John: If my wife attends Monday's meet--it will probably be on 4 wheels. Much too cold for her even on the Spyder. See you then

So far mid day temps on MONDAY look decent and here is a restaurant that is actually open on Monday's. I talked to the owner and they are expecting us around 11. They have regular Tex-Mex and some special items .

What a nice morning for a ride! 12 plus 2 more inductees from the KCKs. area where I grew up. I wore my "Letko Competition Cycles" shirt and two of the guys bought and raced bikes from them. I certainly hope Ed and Mike will join us again as we have many "Dotte" mutual experience...

Tuesday looks like the only decent riding day next week and it has been 2 months since we met there. I did let them know.

I think we had 11 (maybe 12) on a beautiful riding day. Jim and Mike took some gravel back while I stayed on tar with the Spyder. My announcement of todays bike purchase went over fairly well and I still have a place to stay :) . Hope it stays dry to pick it up tomorrow. A few photos--that stove in ...

Weather dude promised a dry ride South to "Red River"--a place we have been several times. They are expecting us around 10:30.

12 of us made the scenic ride to "The Hop" Burgers, malts and '50s music on the jukebox--whats not to like! Pix

We have been there several times when it was "Blue Eye Burger" then "Oasis"--same owners just a name change. This will be a chance to ride "14" out of Lead Hill and take in the Fall colors. Many ways to get there (about 2 hrs, 85 miles) but the most scenic is 14,65,86 t...

10--about the normal crowd and just right for Guffys. Tiffany our waitress handled everything very well. Pix:

Looks like predicted rain showers went away so lets go back to our old reliable place (Guffy's) at 10 or so this Tuesday. I will give them a heads up Monday.

I think the 3rd new owners of this place finally got it right with a varied menu,reasonable prices and great food. We had 2 new riders (for us)--3 if you count Sasquatch who stole my ROMEOS hat. A few photos:

Lets try this place again--seems like there is always a full parking lot when I drive by. I stopped in and told them we would be there Thursday when they opened.

Everyone liked this place the times we met there---AND it's now for sale, but will be open for us at 11 Wednesday . Just the owners are bailing but staff etc will remain.

Great group; They handled us well--food was great and prices very reasonable. We shall return

New place for us--they open at 11 and have lots of other things on the menu besides pizza.

I was hoping for better weather for a longer ride--but that will have to wait until next week. Tuesday looks do-able for White Sands at 9am. https://www.menupix.com/arkansas/restau ... -Cotter-AR

It has been almost 2 months since we met there --time to go back b/4 they start winter hours. 8:30 Wednesday, 11th.
https://tmrbullshoals.net/dining Edit: Moved to Wednesday because of predicted rain on Thursday.

Nice cool morning for a ride--surprised me that there were only 5 of us not counting our newest ROMEO who was a little late (see attached photo)

They are expecting us at 9 am Tuesday. If the rain moves in I told them there would be a light crowd.
