Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted September 6, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2013 ..They have a $2000 prize poker run route on Saturday that will include Push. I say we do a run or two on Push and show them what slinging iron is really all about! ;-) One the one hand I say Hell Yeah!!! ... on the other hand I want to stay far away from the LEOs and 900 lb HD missiles crossing the center lines when they start scrapping hard parts...

Member Contributer LanceLink Posted September 6, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well this is the second year I missed you guys by a week, I stayed in the Jasper area over Labor Day Holiday, It was hot hot last weekend, we did all the good roads that yokel listed and the road surfaces were in good shape but I've seen better over the years but still excellent. Check your speed in and out of Jasper to early arrivals as school is in and the police show themselves, one more thing small bills are appreciated by the locals when your refueling in the middle of nowhere. Maybe I can join next year, be smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Yokel Posted September 6, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2013 I've been considering this trip after my recovery. Now I'm recovered. I was considering a trip to visit and ride with Olive and some of our Canadian Crew. But it appears from Olive's weather tables I'm a little late to avoid a snowy ride. So I'm going to save that trip for next year. IF I can catch Olive at home. Seems she does not spend much of her summers there, preferring everywhere else. I have a trip to our local riding Meca in SW Wisconsin with PairOfAces and another buddy for Tues - Thurs. I could ride from there to join you Riding Maniacs and get a taste of Southern Hospitality. I'll check out the distance and see if that's a possibility. I'd love to meet some more of this great VFRD family. I'll keep this thread posted. Hope there are still rooms available. Just checked. I could start out Thurs. am, 9/12. It's 12 hours to Harrison, so that would be a Long day; may need to make it a day and a half trip. Thats doable. I'll call and see if there are rooms. If not, I could camp. Well, I've booked a room, tentative for Thurs and for sure Fri. Can't wait. Y'all have been warned. I've got you on the list, Terry. Looking forward to seeing you! -Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my crazy hand held thingy using Tapatalk 2 I was just joking about the push run on Saturday. Friday would be a good day for Push. However, the rally riders will be North of us! I do not know the actual route of the Poker run but they mentioned BS dam and Norfork Dam and 341. Those are all NORTH and East of the Hub. Most of the good stuff is south of the Hub.

Member Contributer Yokel Posted September 8, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hope to be down for one full day, that would be Sunday. Whats the plan on Sunday? any rides going on? Still trying to clear it with the old lady. I did finally got down the the area 3 weeks ago and I am hooked. The roads down there are amazing and Only 5 hrs away from home if I take the intersate. But I am thinking of coming down Saturday. I work Friday night and don't get back till 8am. So either I sleep a few hours after I get home then head down or ride down after work and go to bed early sat. night. Sitting at about 65% chance I make it down so I don't want to book a room yet. Think I will have any problems getting a room or would anyone have place to crash in there room for saturday? No, I don't think you'll have any trouble with a room. I'm not sure who will still be up for riding on Sunday, I may still be around for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted September 8, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 8, 2013 RoadToed, I just reaized you're from STL! We have some awesome roads to and from this area. Check out the links on Post #201. The roads in Northern AR to get to the HUb on the last leg of the journey are ok but the stuff in mid to southern MO are awesome! Tough to come all the way to AR for just one day... there's great riding in your back yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please add Nick to the attendee list. He rides a purty red '10 VFR as well. Unfortunately, he does not have purty red Held gloves. Added. You know... I was worried about you being able to get some mileage out of those gloves as they looked purty near worn out... Glad to see that they're able to get a "different" kind of mileage... by being the punch-line to a joke or two. Hahaha! I'll give you a dollar if you ride with them all day one day and manage to keep Ellen speaking to you. Wow, 29 confirmed attendees. Can we make it a last-minute 40?

gloryracing Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Get prepared to be separated from your dollar! I have already worn them for a ride and they do great. The biggest problem is at gas stops...other riders keep coming over and wanting to buy them! Unfortunately I have to turn them down as 2thDr is first in line to acquire. If Nick trailers up, I will ask if he can bring some kind of Louisiana dish/vittles for the Friday nite gathering. Can you say spicy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted September 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looking forward to meeting Nick! Some authentic Cajun food would be awesome...I'm going to have to sell my bike before I acquire the red gloves...they would just clash with the purdy little blue bits on my current ride...
