This is our group's 8th year attending. If you get a chance go for a week and spend several days in the Eureka Springs area before the rally and the crowds set in to enjoy the roads there. Then transition later in the week closer to the rally.

This will be my 2nd year. Our group is staying in Springdale. We are staying at the same hotel as last year, 95% of the guest last year were bikers. I had no idea how fantastic the riding is in Arkansas and loved every minute. Arkansas is a beautiful state.

Oh, yeah! Me and a buddy and our wives are heading over Thursday from T-Town, and meeting up with a bunch of friends. We scored a place just off Dickson Street. Really looking forward to the great music, rides, and food, and the much needed R&R!

I'll ride over Saturday morning make a put around and then to the fair grounds and back home. Only going to it because my wife hasn't been and I have been telling her I'd take her since we met.

The wife and i are planning to make the BBQ rally for 2015 and was wondering if it is anything like Sturgis as far as vendors and people watching. We have gone to Sturgis several times but don't actually spend much time in town we just like the riding around the Black Hills. We have only passed thru the Fayetteville area once and it appears that it would be equally as good of riding as the Black Hills just different scenery.
