Wednesday Bike Run for Lunch




    All through the summer months Texoma Harley-Davidson is sponsoring a 'luncheon run.' Riders are encouraged to meet at the dealership at eleven o'clock on Wednesdays and the group will ride to a different eating spot each week.
    Momma and I joined the group yesterday to satisfy our daily habit of eating,..and to enjoy the company of fellow riders..
This would be the first time we would take the Shadow on any kind of ride outside the city limits since acquiring the bike one month ago.
  
   Last week we showed up at 11:02 and the riders had already left, so yesterday we were there at 10:45, just in case. The Honda passenger seat is not really built for the comfort of a second rider, but Momma knew that when I purchased the Shadow. I was also interested on how the bike would keep up with the Harley's, but I am proud to say I did not present a stumbling block for the other riders.
   
  After leaving the dealership, we headed west on Highway 82 to Sadler,...turned north on 901 and it carried us to US 377...and it would take us across the Willis Bridge into Oklahoma.

     
  Just south of Madill, we turned east on highway 32 and it ran us into US70 at Kingston, Oklahoma.. then into Durant about fifteen miles later.
   
  Momma had never been across the Roosevelt Bridge as we passed the Texoma Lodge and rode over a leg of Lake Texoma. We passed another two-wheeler about halfway across the bridge.



    Ceviche's is a new restaurant in Durant,...it is right on Main Street about a mile east of the main entrance to Southeastern Oklahoma State University. The owner is a former cook at 'The Mansion on Turtle Creek' in Dallas and finally has a place of his own. They have a luncheon menu that was extremely reasonable, but when we descended on them without warning we had to wait for a table for a group of seven.

   Momma had some kind of shrimp lovers dish and I stuck with chicken tacos, rice, and beans.... Yummy. The chips and salsa was pretty good too, and I usually fill up on that and can't eat the main course. It was a fun trip and is a weekly event. Just remember to show up around eleven o'clock on Wednesdays throughout the summer... You might want to make sure you have a full tank of gas so you don't have to worry about running out...
