Been awhile since I've done any kind of ride report. Actually, this is more of a comment or sighting than it is a report. I had hoped to meet some fellow VFRD'ers in one of the greatest riding states available to us...Arkansas. Unfortunately, some last minute job details delayed my launch so I opted for plan B. A few local friends were doing a leisurely jaunt up to Oklahoma and then Arkansas for a bit of moto-camping so I decided to just tag along with them.
It's probably a good thing since
Thursday:
As usual I got a late start but made up for it soon enough once I got into Arkansas. The route I took is one that a bud and I have refined to the point where it's the quickest possible route while still including some entertaining roads. Heading into Dardanelle I got stuck behind a semi and while edging over to look for a clear pass i noticed something spilling out from under the trailer. I swerved over but not quick enough to avoid this foul smelling viscous toxic waste. It appeared
One year ago....one year and two months ago I picked up this sad looking VFR with the intention of doing something with it. What it would be I didn't know at the time but I had some spare cash to throw at it then. Somewhere along the way in this past year I sold the bike, got it back, went broke, got busy with work, busy with family, and certainly had to fit in several rides so this poor bike along with my front yard got neglected. Well, I finally took care of the yard and then got tired of l
I'm definitely not a father and I wanted to ride so I decided to celebrate Not A Father's Day. I had initially planned to do a three day run through the Ozarks but thanks to a knucklehead at the pharmacy I had to sort out some issues with my mom's scripts before I could leave. With Friday out I still figured two days would be good so off I went in search of a little curve therapy.
The temps were forcast to hit 91 for a high but I think that was a rather modest prediction. Passing bank sign
A week ago 1LuckyDude and I tried to get a group of VFR'ers to meet up in Texas and couldn't wake anyone up so he and I met up in the bustling town of Jefferson, TX. "Jefferson has played an important role in the early development of the state. Center of culture and refinement, of stern-wheelers, wagon trains, and ox-team freighters, Jefferson was once the pride of a great empire around which revolved graceful living, southern charm, prestige, and productivity. The town's bygone glories cannot b
So a few buddies of mine decided to make a three day run to the Ozarks and threw me an invitation. What to do, what to do? I had entirely too much on my plate, my wife had a huge list, my truck needed to be fixed, my lawn needed to be mowed, and most of all my bike was dirty. Consequently, I did the only thing I could do....start packing. The one real concern was that I didn't have a new tire to throw on in place of the Pilot Power with a thousand miles. I usually get 2500 miles out of a ti
