Biker Roadhouse, St.Jo-Texas, Revisited 4/2/08

In a week or two I am heading out to Tucson Arizona to see Bill, a good friend, & his family. I wanted to take him a cap from The Biker Roadhouse in St.Jo Texas, so Russ, Mike & I met at the McDonald's on Southwest Parkway in Wichita Falls Texas on 4-2-08 and headed East from there. Above is Russ & Mike. The 3 of us were in the academy together back in '77. REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, CLICK ON THE PIC..

Our bikes at McDonalds, prior to heading out...Left to right: Mike's Harley, Russ's Harley & my bike that I affectionately call "Clone".

Rockin' down the highway!!! Here we are doin' 80 on US 82..

Can't you just feel the love? Here is Mike trying to tell me something...

Another of Mike..Something must be wrong with his glove....

Wow!!! Russ is having the same problem with his glove too!!! And what a coincidence!!! both of them on the left hand...Something ya just don't see every day...

Man, Russ's gesturing me...Could it be the ol' "you Number 1 GI" thing..Ain't seen that for at least 38 years...

Inside the Biker Roadhouse in St.Jo Texas..This business is biker owned/operated. This is Mike, Russ & Toxie, owner of the Biker Roadhouse..The Biker Roadhouse is open Wed-Sun. Call the Roadhouse for their hours at 940-995-2709. You can also visit their site at: http://www.bikerroadhouse.com/ . They have a good selection of leathers, vests, patches, helmets & all the goodies you could want at a motorcycle accessory & apparel store. And best of all, the prices are very reasonable. So, if your club or friends want to take a nice ride, consider taking a run to The Biker Roadhouse at 104 E. Howell, St.Jo Texas. The store is 1/8 th of a block North of US 82 on the West side of the square. Stop in & see Toxie & all the folks there...

Another pic of Mike, Russ & Toxie..Russ is grinning because he said he was gonna locate a small chunk of C4 and fix my camera....

The wall inside of the Biker Roadhouse has a lot of interesting things on it..This is my favorite... On 4/3/08 I recieved the following information from Toxie: The bull on the wall is named Henry. Toxie owned Henry for 13 years & Henry was 15 years old when he died. Henry is a Corriente Full blood bull. The Corriente breed is out of Mexico. Toxie advised that Henry was concieved in Mexico but was born here in the U.S.A. For more on the Corriente breed check out the North American Corriente Association at the following Link.. Thanks for the information on Henry, Toxie.. http://www.corrientecattle.org/

Me, Mike, Russ & Deaken on Russ's bike..Deaken is the son of Lizza, who just happened to be in the the Biker Roadhouse & left when we did..Lizza was kind enough to take our pic, so Russ included DeaKen in the shot...He has future Harley owner written all over his face!!

This is Lizza & DeaKen..I told her I would include her in this blog for being so nice to take our pic...Thanks again Lizza!!

Heading back West on US 82 from St.Jo..We decided to stop in Terrel Oklahoma at Doug's Peach Orchard (catfish restaurant) & eat on the way home. Here is Russ & Mike.

The sign at Doug's. I have been going there since 1977 & took my son there when he was just 3 weeks old..He loves catfish almost as much as I do now. He is 24 now.

Mike & Russ at Doug's.

Mike inside Doug's

Russ inside Doug's. I think he was saying something to me about relocating my camera into a recess or something...

Russ & Mike getting ready to leave Doug's..Mike is looking for his glasses...

I went to Russ's house when we got back in town..We took the US 281 exit off of US 287 & Mike continued West on US 287.

We had a good time & it ate up the clock & put some miles on the bikes. But when you are riding with friends, its always good!!! Until next ride/post, be careful out there & keep the rubber on the road.............John
