Just joined this forum and wanted to say hello!
I have lived in Arkansas my entire life. And I spend most of my spare time riding in the Ozarks! Since I retired that has turned into a full time job! :icon_lol:
I would like to contribute by providing knowledge of the good twisty roads available here in the mountains of Arkansas.
If you are in the area and want someone to ride with, or need some local knowledge about our good roads. Let me know, I will help in whatever way I can.
Ride Safe!!
Well, there's this little rally going down this September in Russellville....
Monk I don't know where you live from Russellville but a few of us are coming your way in September. We don't do that for all new members but we want to make you feel welcome.
Oh dude , you're just down the road. You could throw a BBQ.
Wonderful idea. A grille, an outhouse and 70 new friends. I'll be there early.Quote:

That's what we like Monk. An experienced local eating expert. OK in exchange for good info we are gonna let you out of the BBQ this time. Sorry Stro. He's just too nice of a guy.

Yes Sir!!! That would be the one! :yes:Quote:

Got to work up a good appetite ... although I don't think that will be necessary in your case. :icon_rolleyes:
On their home page Tony they show a bunch of bikes in front of the establishment. Must be biker friendly.
Crap, I wanted to see his outhouse. Guess BBQ in a reserved setting will do. Guess I am going to leave at dawn Tuesday to get the grub.
I can see that this is gonna be a ridin and eatin trip....just what I like the most.
Monk I appreciate the offer but I rode hwy 7 from Harrison to Russellville twice in October and I've been thru Beaver on the way from Branson to Eureka Springs 4 times. I'll be on7 again in June as we will be inBranson for five days with family. Four of us and our wives , two brother in laws and a nephew , will be on a riding vacation.Quote:

So often, I meet people who have or who are riding the Ozarks. They describe where they've been and where they are going and most of the time their rides do not include the really good stuff.
That is not to say, they are not having a good time. But there is so much more! I would like the opportunity to share as many of them as possible in the time available. That can be in the form of riding with you or it can be some type of programmed route from Google. It doesn't matter.
e.g., I met a guy from Texas last Spring at the rest area on Highway 7. We decided to cut a diagonal to the northeast to Push Mountain. After we finished, he told me, "I had no idea there were roads like that in Arkanas" :yes: So, that is it ... my agenda ... to share as many as possible and hopefully you return home with a big smile and good memories!!
Stro I talked to Monk and he sent me a picture of his outhouse. According to close friends and neighbors one of the finest outhouses in the county and I quote. Thanks MonkAttachment 18401

But I do remember my first use of indoor facilities. No more worries about snakes and such!! :icon_lol:
Always good to see a new member on the forum from Arkansas. I live just N of Benton. Maybe we get togather for some of those twisties up your way.
Sure, always looking for someone to share the road with!!Quote:
