got hooked here by ride reports, thought i'd try one........so this is my first rr, couldn't resist saying that cause everybody does i've been in memphis alittle while now and keep hearing about nw arkansaw hills, so it was time to check em out sat left work about 3 packed the bike and here we go the pyrimid leaving town, looking for cruves crossing the mighty mississippi, old black sabath playing on the old sony walkman stop in west memphis, ironbut gas stop, card in gas in, gooo "they'res cruves in them there hills" east ark, no hills yet hot & pink floyds playing 50 - 70 miles in and i'm thinking how glad i am to have the walkman when i stretch and watch it go flying behind me:eek1 go back it's flat don't know why i didn't take a picture gas stop in black rock (makes me think of black oak arkansaw don't know why) see a doller store and new tunes 6$ bucks and it's about the same uglyass easter egg color as the bike, i'm set
now there's something i don't see every day there we are hills cruves and everything seeing the sites yeap those are campers
so i go tru hardy and see signs that say bike rally, let's see what this is all about, pull into a valley with a river going tru it. Stop at the gate and ask the guy there what's going on in there. Well the wet tshirt contest just started:huh ok i'm in the only picture i could get away with here after wards looked around a man and his duck some prutty womens some wild women some good bands wound up camped by the river stayed up to late with my new neighbors
planned to sleep in woke up around 7 it was allready hot, veiw from the tent, saw some brim swimming around but wanted to get some wind moveing so no fishing this morning had a good breakfast in hardy, don't remember the name of the place but it was packed headed out and saw welcome to missouri sigh
ya know i had to stop and get this picture headed back to the flatlands and home heading back at a gas stop got a message from land he was heading west and should be in memphis tonight when i left for work he was still deciding between texas and colorado i'm jealous hope u enjoyed it
It had to be a hot ride leaving at 3 in the afternoon. I'm in Memphis 5 nights a week and it's usuelly hotter than Huntsville or Atlanta. I rode through Arkansas a long time ago and after passing through Memphis it seemed to take forever to get through the flatlands and find some curves.
definitly hotter than atl, i'm learning. ya know they'res a adv dinner every thrus in memphis don't cya
wifey and my buddy chad in and on his new sidecar rig he own's the big bear cafe in gainesville if ya get the chance stop in they do a biker breakfast on sat mornings, they might be 2 bikes there and they're might be 40???
