ROMEOS

Good turnout on a good riding day to get good food and good company--plus maybe even a fairly reasonable tab for this day & time. That's what they always have to offer in Overbrook. Most if not all of some 35+ showed up on 2 or 3 wheels, so ROMEOs lined a big part of the main street with their ...

Excuse pun but looks like Al's gonna have way more on his plate than ROMEO lunch for the next few Wednesdays. As he mentioned in this week's follow-up post, Mick L and myself will be helping out with ROMEO stuff for awhile. For Sept. 10 come on out to a lunch-only place that many of us know since w...

Al's going down to the Rendezvous next week and asked me to find an eatery for the 30th. Looks like our group hasn't been to Fajitas since 2022. Real good Mexican that's not a long ride away for most of us though you can always make it scenic if the weather says do some more riding. It's not far fr...

Many of us who've been in ROMEO for some years knew Jeff Blevins, a real friendly & interesting fellow who could chat over coffee about anything motorcycle or otherwise cuz he'd done most of it at one time or another. He survived door gunner on a Huey in Vietnam then went on to live a long life...

Perfect riding weather made for a pretty good turnout in Overbrook even with the Rendezvous going on. If everybody had been here I think we would have more than filled up the separate room TJ's staff had set up just for us. Overbrook along with this bar & grill don't seem to change a whole and ...

This place the majority of Eastern KS group is already familiar with going way back, but if you haven't been there yet I think you'll like it. Typical bar & grill type menu is pretty much what TJ's serves and they've been cooking it up long enough to get it right. Food orders start at 11 even i...

Pretty good motorcycle turnout for a morning that started out a bit on the cold side. There were 20-something people and around 16 bikes if I got anything resembling a good count. Not sure I did because there were still bikes coming & going when I left. But one thing's for sure: Sommerset is ba...

Talked with Al yesterday before he left for Ark. He suggested we might go to Saddlerock on Wednesday which sounds good to me. Looks like fall of '21 was our last time there. North Central Group is scheduled to dine there at 11:30 but I'm guessing some of them will likely arrive earlier. It'll be gr...

In spite of the wet weather getting there we had a bigger than expected turnout at Perry Bar & Grill. It did stay several degrees above 32 so there was no freezing stuff to deal with. Guess that's weather enough to be grateful for in the middle of January. The rain was slacking up some by the t...

Wednesday is most likely gonna be kinda messy weather-wise with some rain and/or snow around, depending on which forecast you look at. Hopefully not bad enough to keep ROMEOs from getting to a good meal regardless of whether they get there on 2 or 4 wheels. Whatever vehicle you want to take head on...

Good turnout for middle of January at Billard today with a dozen or so bikes and maybe twice as many people. Hard to get count since there were Romeos coming & going for breakfast then even more were arriving for lunch when I had to leave. It was pretty decent riding weather by then if you were...

Good turnout in Reading on a perfect day. People were arriving at different times and parking in different places in the little town and I didn't get a count. Some got there a little later than they expected to because they ran into detours like that closed section of Hwy 31 between 75 and Osage Ci...

Forecast so far is a lot better than June 22 when wet weather didn't make for much of a riding day but several bikes made it to Reading anyway. Let's try it again, and I bet we get a few more. The Miracle Cafe has survived the worst that mother nature, pandemic and KDOT can hurl at them yet they're...

NICE ride out to Westmoreland and it was also nice riding home or riding to wherever you wanted to go after that. Even if there was a little more wind it stayed dry & warm enough but not the kind of heat like we've been having. Counted 16 bikes and I think about 18 folks who came out to South 4...

Forecasts calling for upper 90's on Wednesday afternoon even though it will officially turn into "fall" the next day. A hot day like that sounds like the time to do a cool (well not as hot) morning ride over to an old favorite that serves real good breakfast, and one that we haven't been ...
