Default Eureka Springs

Wife and I went to ES this past weekend and loved it. Too far a ride 9-10hrs each way, for a fri-sun trip. Will post pics later..

I've heard a lot of great things about Eureka Springs. My wife and I are going to spend a couple days there in June. Can't wait to see your pics.

I'm going down in late May. Lots of good riding all around the area. Spend the evening in Basin Park. Almost bought a house down there last year. Umbilical cord wasn't long enough to reach the grandsons for my wife though. Kurt

Been there numerous times, but only in the cage. Can't wait for the stars to line up and we can take a week and ride the area. Harrison area is great too.

Had our 110th anniversary tri-glide parked on Spring St while wife and I walked around..

Highway 69 from TX-OK border to Checotah sucks for a biker! Got to be a better-faster way to get there from Dallas area...

We were there too. Hung out at the Cathouse and took a stroll through town on Friday. Beautiful weather with lots of riders out. We hit it right.
