Member Contributer 2thdr Posted August 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 12, 2013 Looks like I am in Viffer is not rolling at the moment but will bring a cbr if it is not roadworthy by then Hopefully arrive thurs nite late and stay until Sunday What is riding gear list to pack? Do you mean what is the weather likely to be and what type of gear to wear? Or do you mean what generally to bring on your trip? Camping or not? Too far out to forecast weather, but usually it will still be warm for this ride. Rain is always possible depending on fronts moving through or not. Mornings are usually coolish, with temps in 60's and 70's and afternoons in the 80's to 90's. Humidity is fairly high, but probably similar to where you are from.

Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted August 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm still tentative, just waiting on the word from work. With the healthcare exchange opening soon, well it's creating anxiety and uncertainty for my work hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDON Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I guess my question regarding riding gear was to gauge what to bring? Track leathers/boots/ gloves or jackets /street boots etc I am assuming the group isn't manboobs in halter tops If so, I'm out after some phone pics are sent people on my $hitlist Looking forward to the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wear my track leathers simply because my storage is limited and they aren't very versatile for changing weather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted August 13, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 13, 2013 When it comes to gear, I'd recommend some good, sturdy protective stuff at a minimum. The roads can be technical, and there are occasional gravel drives etc... that put crap on the roads, and there's always the chance for the odd animal. I wear a two-piece textile suit, sturdy boots and some gloves at all times when in AR riding. There were some Triumph guys I rode with out there in APR of 2012, 7 riders went down and 3 were injured enough to merit a trip to the hospital. It was rainy those days and a few were riding beyond their margin. Make sure you're able to shed some layers. 2thdr is right, mornings are cool and the highs will be in the mid to upper 80's historically. It will NOT rain. *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 2thdr Posted August 17, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 17, 2013 I sure hope not! Google "The Hub, Marble Falls, Arkansas". You have to call to check availability.

Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted August 17, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 17, 2013 Shouldn't be a problem on rooms. All the guys at work that said they wanted to go have backed out. I booked 2 rooms in planning for them going so I will call Debbie Monday and cancel the other room. Hope you can make it.

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted August 24, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yup, thank goodness that was as I pulled into my garage at the end of the trip home. The rear currently has about ~200 miles on it I swear! The front has a couple thousand but it is wearing well and shouldn't be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
