Same here. Oklahoma has unprdictable weather - and that means you can have great riding weather any time of year. From Ft sill you can get to lots of places and see all kinds of roads. Eastern OK had gret twisties to ride in. There are lots of lakes and plenty of historical places to go. Wide open places abound. You'll have a great time - Oklahoma is a great place.

As mentioned before, we have unpredictable weather in Oklahoma. We'll get a few mild winters in a row then a few years of crap. We had blizzards two yrs in a row and a few yrs before that we had a crap load of ice dumped on us. As for the Ft. Sill/Lawton area, there is plenty of scenery for some nice riding.

One thing the forum admins might want to consider is a section that many forums have.

A Hometown forum. 50 forums 1 for each state so that like minded individuals can get together, get info set up wrenching parties. For example I have a custom 72 Bronco that I built. We often respond to local requests for wrench parties. It is a great way to develop local relationships, get local advice like which is the best machine shop in the area etc.

I got by with a little help from my friends.

This sounds like a good idea to me, too.
