So vote and let me know! If you have a different idea chime in. I know nothing about the Copper Kettle, or the Severy Cafe, other than I have heard of them, any experience anyone?

Our intentions are to have lunch in Greensburg, KS on our way to Tucumcari, NM!
My bet is on the Kansan Pueblo Nuevo Mexican Restaurant, 801 E. Kansas.
Is that in Greensburg? Glad you are stopping there you can scout it out for a future FFR! Actually, I am game this time if anyone else is! JDW |

I think we will have an opportunity to sample a lot of our favorite food during our trip. Trip will include Albuquerque, NM, Grand Canyon, Mohave Desert, Las Vegas, NV, then through multiple parks/canyons in Utah and Colorado on the way home.  Wow, i expect a full report from this trip along the way... and yes I am super jealous, and no, we are not friends, and i dont expect your bib to be here in time... have fun! Just kidding, but yeah wow, i want to hit a super big trip like that soon... problem is i have another 12 years of school kids a head of me  |

Bump up folks! I know who two of the four votes are from and they are both iffy depending on circumstances that may, or may not occur. I am sensing there may not be much interest in this date. I know several will be busy with other activities, if you are interested please vote and let me know here, or by PM you plan to be there. So far it appears Emporia is the vote.
Thanks,
JDW

Well Dave it's a good thing you mentioned Ice Cream  , when you said Pam wasn't coming!  Willow, I am really looking forward to seeing you and I have full confidence you can make it this time without the drama of a detour!!  Unless there is a big rush on voting it will be at Emporia, I will make it official this weekend. JDW |

I would like to, but i have already promised mike we would put new tires on his bike and get him back together. I want to get his bike done and get those 9 year old tires off of it. We dont need any more members going down at this point. That and i just had a little clip clip done friday, and im not real sure how long i can stay in the saddle at this point. Just as soon not get half way there and find out it was not the right move....  |

Dawn and Gene, Marsha and Larry, I have talked with Kenny Hays and he has agreed to lead us up to Emporia Saturday. Lets plan on meeting up at the QuikTrip in El Dorado about 9-9:15. Anyone else who wants to meet us there is welcome as well.

Hey everyone! I'd like to attend as well and introduce myself and get to know everyone. I live in Hesston, and as of now, pretty sure I can make it. My 2001 Standard needs to meet other Valks of Kansas as well.

Had a great time. Dale and Alina (sp?), Marsha and Larry, Kenny, it was a fun time being with you. John, Lori, and the others lunch was a fine enjoyment. Coletranes and Dave, it was a lot of fun riding with you. Dave, I was caught a bit off guard when you separated but much thanks for letting me tag along. I had a great time. |

Whistler is in the house! What a great day for riding clear skies, mild temperatures, light wind, and great people to share it with! The day started for me meeting Dale and Alina just down the road from the house. A quick hi nice to meet you lets ride!
Over to El Dorado to meet up with Gene and Dawn who were patiently waiting for us, then came Larry and Marsha, with Kenny not far behind. Intro's all around, a quick safety chat, and then we let Kenny lead us, on six Valkyries, on a very pleasant, easy going, stress relieving ride through the Kansas country side. Man I so needed this!!
A short break at Strong City with a little tire kicking. We stopped outside the Casey's who was baking fresh rolls. It was too much for Larry who had to indulge in a fresh pastry! I was good and did not partake, awesome will power at work here I might add, but I had to keep my eye on the ball, LUNCH! Kenny says you mind if we go by the historic courthouse? Nope, not as long as we are not late to lunch! I don't care where we go! A guy has to have priorities don't you know!
We pulled into Emporia and followed Dave to the Casa, who turned the corner right in front of us coming from the other direction. More intro's while a table is being set up to hold us. Just as we sit down Lori, Carl and Kaden show up, followed by Ginger and Gary! What an awesome turn out. The staff did an excellent job getting us taken care of . The food was plentiful and good. I muttered to myself all the way home "I can't believe I ate the whole thing". It was a great meal and conversation all around. Carl was gonna table dance for us but Lori put the brakes on that!! LOL! It was good to see Carl and see him in the wind again! Folks started trickling out here and there, off for other important engagements. Goodbyes and come agains were heard all around.
Dawn, Gene, and I took a easy ride back east on 50 and made a quick stop to check out the prairie grass preserve just north of 50 on 177. Kinda of neat, you could spend a bit of time there wandering around the trails, etc.. We then continued on to Cassody where we stopped for a cool drink, thanks again Gene! We took a county road west out of Cassody that leads straight to Newton. Just a nice ride through the green countryside. At Newton I bid Dawn and Gene a goodbye as they went south to the big city and I went north a few miles to home.
It was a great day, with great friends, both old and new. We missed many who couldn't make it and look forward to doing it again, hopefully sooner than later!
Hey look Joe no faces, I am having a great will power day, I tell you!

Hey all, great meeting everyone. Beautiful day along the Kansas prairies, and great food. My bike was complaining about the extra weight it had to pull home.
Again, thanks to everyone for their hospitality. Alina and I both enjoyed the day and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Dale it was great having you and Alina! By all means keep in touch and do come again! You have just touched the tip of the iceberg today with this group! We have a lot of fun and have a lot of very helpful people around when it comes to our Phatgirls. Sorry I was at the other end of the table did not really get to visit with you much, but we will correct that next time. JDW |

Sorry Carl. I was just stopping at the gas station there. But in the past the entrance on the west side has always been better than the one on the east. That was the reason for continueing on the round about. I tried to point to the station when I saw you didn't follow. I really wasn't trying to ditch you. Enjoyed the day and it was really good to see you back on a bike Carl. I always enjoy our lunch get togethers.
