I'll write more on this tomorrow but for now the Midway Cafe in tiny Detroit, KS was worth the chilly ride IMHO. The burgers were great and the signs on the walls made for some entertaining reading.
Well it's tomorrow (4-27-06) I had to drive to the VA hospital in Topeka today so didn't get to the blog. Not too much to add except on a personal note I met an old retired Navy Chief at the Midway Cafe. Standing around outside I noticed a picup with a USN plate on the front and a Ft. Riley sticker on the windshield so I went inside to search out this person. Turned out to be an 81 year old retired Chief corpsman who joined right after WWII started and stuck around for Korea and Vietnam. George retired in '69, said three wars was enough. He promised he would give me a call the next time he came to Salina and drink so of my beer.
As always it was a good lunch and of course any ride is better than no ride, so it was a good motorcycle day.
