Here's another place to check out to get the scoop on good roads in any state. This page is for Arkansas. http://motorcycleroads.us/states/ar.html

Here is a good place to stay that caters to bikers: http://www.hubinfo.com/

And yet another source for good riding, just pick the state and it'll show you good rides. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/

IT WAS AN AWESOME TRIP!
Make sure to hit 23, 7 and if your north 165 through Mark Twain Forest's.
2,000 miles in 4 days, more then half of that was solo due to forecasted rain and over exuberant,,, "companions".

Eureka springs was cool, hot springs kinda sucked,,,traffic, crowds,,,

I ride in the Ozarks every time I leave my garage. We rode to Eureka Springs on Saturday, although I try to avoid the place because of their noise law anti-biker attitude. We had no trouble, though. With Pig Trail HD opening a boutique shop there, maybe they are backing off a little. These towns need to realize that we're not going to just mail them money and stay home. The money and noise go together.

It's hard not to find a good riding road here, and if you could do 500 miles a day on these 2 lane roads, you did some moving. 500 miles a day on interstate can wear you out for that matter.

I got a T-Shirt from that Pigs Trail store.

Yea I was moving pretty good and some pretty long hours in the saddle. Very little traffic out there, mostly bikes and a few logging trucks.

What's up with all the turtles?

Turtles are there for riders amusement, you have to think of it as a game.
Practice your weaving skills.

This picture was taken at the Cliff also.

LOL, I had a lot of practice then, thrown in a few armadillo's and snakes just for fun.

This place was really cool, risked my life to get this shot!

Eureka springs arkansas is a fun town and on hwy 62 which is a great road. Gotta ride the pig trail. Hwy 37 near shell **** missouri is a fun road too. I'd avoid Branson. It's over commercialized and the traffic is miserable. That town is killing the ozarks. Pretty much can't go wrong once you get down here though. I go there alot but I only live 2 hours away.

I was just gonna have you holler when you were here and I'd buy you a beer ride a little, but I just found the thread now so I guess I'm to late. Glad you enjoyed the ride tho.
