A friend and I crawled onto our old wings (aka gold wings) and headed out to the Bunk House for lunch. If we were to take the direct route the ride would have been about 60 miles round trip. We didn’t take the direct route and ended up riding about 150 miles round trip.
The first part of the trip was nice but it was cloudy. I seem to enjoy some sun shine when I ride. We arrived at the bunk house about 12:30 and there were many people there. I guess it may have been their lunch rush. As we pulled onto the parking lot there was 4 bikes leaving. That was a good thing as it provided us with some parking spaces near the building. You know, old bikers don’t want to walk too far, even when it is to eat.
Entering the building we were greeted by the lady who takes your order. When she saw us she said, “not you again”. That set the tone for the entire lunch period. Before you ask, this lady is always kidding with the customers. We ask for our usual discount but we were told that discount is only on Thursday. I asked to see the manager and she told us the same thing. I explained that we had to ride today, cause it was going to rain tomorrow. She said sorry.
Feelings hurt, we ordered our food, found a table and sat down.
As usual the food was good and the conversation was lively.
Our ride home was brighter and I believe more fun as the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
May you get a discount for lunch!
