Owners of small cafes in Kansas are happy to see one group of motorcyclists pull up for a bite to eat.
The Retired Old Motorcyclists Eating Out - or ROMEOS - make an effort to provide some cash and customers for mom-and-pop restaurants across the state.
The group was started a dozen years ago by Richard Kutz of Lindsborg, who recruited a small group of friends to ride to restaurants every week. Today, the ROMEOS have split into five clubs with nearly 500 members.
Kutz says the group knows it's hard for small towns to recover if they lose their cafes, so they try to support and publicize
those restaurants.
The group has traveled this spring to diners in Sun City, Luray, Haven, and Wakefield.

sounds like a great idea for the smaller towns , as long as the motorcyclists stick to food and non alcoholic drinks seen too many bikers drinkin alcohol and hittin the road all boozed up if the diners serve alcohol

There is a group in Salina.You can go to the Romeo web site and check it out. Click on discussion tab to see where they are going each week. The Romeo's have no dues. Just great rides,great food, motorcycles and a lot fun. Never seen any alcohol in several years riding with them. A lot of pie and coffee maybe.
