We had a great day riding in the ozark hills of Arkansas today. We meet up with a women's biker groupe, my wife had joined thier club. Today husbands got to ride with them. We had a blast. There were around eighteen ( correction) fifteen bikes and three scooters. My son's reflex, moma on her 400 burgie, & myself on the big dog 650 burg. 8) There was bmw's honda's harley's, and one FJR 1300. That FJR yamha is a sweet looking bike. It looks a lot like my Burgman from the front. One of the harley riders came to have a peak at are scoots. :shock: He couldn't belive it when i told him that little 400 would top out around 95mph. :shock: And i had never seen top speed on my 650. 8) He said he didn't ride that fast.
We went over to Jasper from Springdale, around two hunderd mile round trip. A lot of pretty country side. OH! Paul Joe, we found a great little diner over there to eat at. We'll have try it out when you come down the next time. Buffet $6.95 all you can eat. And they had lot of different dishes. And some really good fried mushrooms.HUM HUM!!!
The weather was great today, around 60 for a high & sunny. You can't beat that for December. It's suppose to cool off the rest of the week. With high's only in the 40's :roll: Oh well tis the season for cold weather rideing.
Well Merry Chistmas to all, and to all a goodnight. 8)

Sounds like a great time. I can't wait till the weather here starts improving, maybe 2 months. 30 degrees with 30 mph winds today, "sigh". Keep the posts comming on nice road trips. It keeps us northerner's going.

Sounds like a good time for all. A buddy of mine called at mid-morn yesterday and asked if I would like to ride...said I could borrow one of his elect suits till the one I ordered come in. Only went for a 100 miler but found this great neck warmer at the Harley shop..$9....soft fluffy and warm. Had some coffee and cookies there and meandered back. Wx was in low 50"s so it wasn't a good test for the elect suit, but I can tell you I'm gonna like it.
