Default Cycle Connection

I bought my bike at Cycle Connection in Joplin.
A good group of people there, they have a HOG chapter there and lots of nice folks. It is a nice area with some great roads.

Your just two hours from Branson MO, also Euerka Springs AR, and Fayetteville is 1 1/2 hours south. Check out Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in Fayetteville.
Arkansas's biggest bike rally.

Plus you are centrally located! You got options because your in the middle of the US.

check out my site for some Arkansas rides.

Coming from Gilbert AZ is going to be a change. We have humidity here, in the summer it's 100%. We call it a 'Wet Heat'

No on the 4 x 4, nothing works on ICE !
Average snow fall there is a few inches a year, the rule of thumb is if it snows today it will be gone tomorrow. Winters are what I consider mild. Temps between 30 - 50's with the occasional dip in the teens.

If properly dressed, you can ride all year. I usually put the bike up for a month during the last of Jan - Feb.

They have Casino's also if your into that ..
