Two in one week?

Ok, I did it again.....   Go on another luncheon on the bike...  This week the lunch for the Topeka group was in Lawrence.... That is a nice ride out of Topeka..

But of course it is only thirty miles or so West of us here in Overland Park....  The place was a biker bar called Slow Ride Roadhouse..  And it is just that inside, a biker bar...  The room is wide open and the building is kind of a log cabin...




I didn't take any pictures but our leader Roger took this as he was entering the building off to the left of the picture...  I think he was capturing the sign..

After a fine lunch of Chicken Fried Steak with all the trimmings like potatoes and gravy, we rode back to KC on the North side of the Kansas river...  With my friend Al in the lead, he managed to get us back to the only other bridge over the river for miles...  I was lost........ Well except for the GPS that I had under my seat, but I didn't mention that...

We spent the rest of the afternoon looking for a little screw that went into Al's speed control hand grip.. We stopped at three different places including a McDonalds for coffee and a soda but never did get the screw...

That is until we stopped at a Lowes on a chance that they might have something and low and behold, they had the exact piece....

Now while I was out riding all over Southern KC, Loyce had the youngest grand child over here at the house and they were playing with Biscuit and taking naps and stuff....

I was warned before I left to be really quite when I got home to not awaken the grand...   Well I did the next best thing......  I just stayed out all afternoon...  No siree, I didn't do it!!  Not gonna wake up a kid that won't go to sleep without a threat.... No sir,!!

Its late and I still have to go put the bike in the garage, so I will post this...

  1. You could have snuck in and taken a nap yourself. But staying out all afternoon is a lot more fun.

  2. You're just having way too much fun. I love chicken fried steak especially with all the trimmings.

  3. Just wait once they reach ten or eleven years old, they don't take near as many naps.Glad you enjoyed your ride. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna..

  4. At least you are staying out late in the afternoon, Rod, and not all night! Chicken Fried Steak is something one never sees in this part of the world - I'll have to give it a try the next time I see a place making that in the States. I'll be sure to have a bottle of Crestor anti-cholesterol pills with me.
