Default The road to ES

Took a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas this past week. Great trip, and awesome roads down there. 3,500 miles in 10 days, and the Limited didn't miss a beat.

I had the pleasure of riding this area (Pig Trail included of course) the last few years while attending the Branson Rally. The best actual riding I have ever experienced. Nice pics

Believe it or not, the Pig Trail was a disappointment. 74, 16, 123, and 21 were all better roads with no construction (which 23 has). 21 has got some wonderful 100mph sweepers, 123 has some great technical 1st and 2nd gear corners.

Regardless, if you get the chance, ride Arkansas and Missouri. There are some great roads there.

I live in Northern Arkansas so you were ridding in my neck of the woods. And I agree we have some great roads to ride on.
