Little Leon, KS could quite possibility have the most active police force, per capita, in the nation. True to their widespread reputation they were busy as Richard, Dale and I slowed down for the 50mph speed zone nearing town. Leon is just off of the busy highway 400, a super two lane running from Wichita to SE Kansas, and their speed trap is operated to perfection. One car had someone pulled over and another was parked in the middle of the painted median that would turn on his light every few seconds to slow down traffic. He must have been on coffee break and didn't want to write any tickets.
We made it safely to the cafe and hope the rest of the 24 ROMEOs did too. It was a very efficient little eatery, my drink order was taken before I found a place to sit. I ordered the special without knowing what it was. You just can't go wrong at these little places. Thank goodness it was meat loaf and not liver.
Some interesting bikes showed up today, among them was Ron's Moto Guzzi and Junior riding a pristine 750 Honda Automatic.
Before heading for Scoops in Hesston for an ice cream Richard, Bob and I provided some amusement for one of the local cops while he waited for his next traffic stop. We stopped at their favorite hiding place to search for a geocache. Richard found the cache in short time and we made our way to Hesston with a short stop at the Kawasaki dealer in El Dorado. Nice shop, I was asked several times if I needed any help which is a switch from some dealerships I've been in lately. You know those........you can walk in with your check book in hand and can't get anyone to sell you a bike.
The weather had warmed up nicely when I pulled back into Salina at 5pm, a far cry from the frosty start to the day at 8:30am.
