If you have not riden to Cassoday, Kansas on the first Sunday of every month, you better not call yourself a motorcycle enthusist. This is a must go to event. On a nice day I have seen 700-1,000 bikes there! On a Terrible day (last February) there were only about a dozen of us, but this is rare. Can usually count on at least 300 bikes there. The photo above doesn't do the crowd or the bikes justice. People come from all over Kansas, up from Oklahoma, and down from Nebraska.

This is a breakfast ride so you must get there early. People start arriving about 8:00 and are mostly gone by 12:00. A good time to arrive is about 9:00. Cassoday is located 35 miles south of Emporia on I35 Note: starting at emporia I35 is toll (cost $1.50/bike). This is a must go to event. If looking for someone to ride with there is a group that leaves at 7:00 A.M. from the McDonalds at exit 215 of I35 by the Olathe Mall. This is in the flint hills and there are several good roads and riding to and from.

Another couple of nice antiques that rode in for our pleasure.
What can I say?.
This one did ride in the back of a pickup but did ride around once it was there. Note the carbide taillight!
