Lunch and Museum VisitLadies of Harley are meeting at Aunt Hattie's Tea

Room, 1810 W. Douglas for lunch. Aunt Hattie’s

sounds like a quaint and fun place with a terrific

menu. Meet us there at 11:00 am and we'll be their

first diners of the day!. After that we'll go to the

Wichita Art Museum, 1400 W. Museum Blvd. The

Dale Chihuly exhibit in the entry way is worth the trip

in itself - and we will have our own Guide to show us

the Museum highlights along with the Civil War

exhibit currently showing. For head count sake -

would appreciate a call anytime before March 7th if

you can join the fun.

Thanks, Bobbie Morrison 729-1958

March Monthly RideThis will be the first monthly ride of the year, weather

permitting. We will gather at the south K-mart at 47th

street south and Broadway. Meet on the north side of

the building.At noon Joe Hopkins will take us on a ride

down through Latham, Kansas on the way to Winfield,

Kansas where we will have a late lunch or early dinner

at Calaways around 2:00 pm. Plan on joining the group

for the first ride of the season so we can Ride and

Have Fun.

How Cold Is It?For those who ride in the winter, it can’t be stressed

enough to dress warmly. Hypothermia is a silent enemy

that sneaks up on you when the sun starts to set and

the temperature drops. Dressing in layers is the best

way to handle varying temperatures. Below is a chart

that can determine the wind chill. If you are riding at 50

MPH and the temperature is 40 degrees, the wind chill

factor is 9.3 degrees. Check out different factors at the

website: www.motorcyclecity.com/chill.htm

12 cheerful LOH forced sunshine into a dreary rainy

day on Saturday the 19th. Barb, Bev, Carol, Connie,

Kathie, Kathryn, Linda, Marilyn, Mel, Patsy, Sandy &

Bobbie met at The Artichoke for sandwiches and

conversation and then braved the parking fun

downtown to visit the Historical Museum. The food

was scrumptious and the museum a perfect setting

for visiting history & getting to know each other

better. Everybody had a favorite treasure in the

museum and we all were surprised to discover the

beautiful interior and fun displays inside the museum

right here in Wichita. It was a 4-wheel adventure but

we did Ride and Have Fun!
