No Rain Today.....

My younger son Ben and I were off on another motorcycle luncheon...  We left the house here at 9AM...  It was in the 60s and the sun was shining..    We headed South on US 69, a four lane interstate like road complete with limited interchange access...

The winds were up fairly high as we went head long into them...  They made handling of the bikes somewhat of a chore...But an hour or more later we were about 70 miles away and leaving the security of the controlled road....

Our destination was Hume, Missouri and a restaurant called Sisters...  We have been here before sometime last fall...  The tiny little town was familiar and the restaurant with its meeting room in the grain bin on the next lot was just as intriguing...



Inside the grain bin...

For the next two hours, men from all over Kansas and Missouri filled every available seat and ate all of the Chicken Noodles special, right down to the last bit of gravy...  But I had a breakfast for brunch..   A scrambled egg and sausage, with hash browns and toast...

Ben and I sat with completely different people from last week, which made the conversation new and fresh...  Our trip home was led by a fellow cyclist from Olathe, but he was familiar with all of the back roads between here and the restaurant, so we ended up on a winding two lane adventure thru rural Kansas...  It was in the early 80s and I had to take all of the liners from my riding jacket...

We stopped in Payola at the McDonalds across from Wal Mart for an ice cream sundae and coffee..  Finally getting home about 4 PM..

The long day on the bike caused a serious study of the back of my eye lids before supper....  Just another Romeo Adventure...   Romeo Web site for the ride....
