Just read the rest of the thread.......don't even come to Arkansas and not ride hwy 23 from Huntsville to Ozark, 123 from Mt Judea (pronounced 'Judy' locally) to Lurton, Hwy 7 from Harrison to Russellville, Highways 21 and 16 in Newton and surrounding counties. And there is more!!! Texas.....mostly straight, boring roads.....sorry but that's a fact! You won't catch my butt in Texas for a motorcycle riding vacation.....plenty of other reasons to go and even live there though, so you Texans don't attack me here.....

We are on the last leg of our tour from Wisconsin to Amarillo, Roswell, Las Cruces, Tuscon, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Clovis, Amarillo and home by Monday.
Seen some beautiful country down here, met some really great peeps, but I'll be damned and agree with Dorothy, "there,s no place like home".
Pics to follow ..........

Iv'e got to find a web hosting site to post to. I took 275 pix, and am not going to "shrink to fit" the way I typically do. Worked out well, we were home 4:30 Monday a.m.
It then snowed 6" Monday night. Saving grace is we were in warmth for 8 days (except for the higher elevations) came home to snow, and its headin for 70 degrees this weekend.
I think next year it will be a little nicer to fly into Phoenix, rent a bike for a week, and see the sites down there from a "home base".
