As long as you can run 45 miles on a tank, you will be fine. That is--no gas issues on this ride.

I thought it was a little kid's Yamaha from the sound and shadows. You look huge on the bike....but you are a big dude.

Re: Fall TARkansas ride

I'm a morning freak who does not mind going to bed at 8PM. So my current plan is to wake up about 3AM Fri morning and drive down. It should take me 4.5 hours with a gas/coffee stop. However, I'm flexible if it works to carpool with someone. Sharing gas plus a Thur nigh motel room is about the same c...

Re: Fall TARkansas ride

Guys, I deleted my really long route explanation post and my route photos post because Randy and I decided to change things up--those routes are not the plan for this ride. I don't like to delete posts because it can confuse folks, but there was not any discussion around those 2 posts really and it ...

Re: First Post, going to Eminence area tomorrow, 9 20

...I had scoped out Loggers Lake campground on the map and had planned on staying there Fri. night. Took a good many wrong turns getting there but finally made it right as it got dark. I had started seeing parts of the Freeman loop showing up on the gps as I looked for the campsite so I knew I was ...

Urge Your U.S. Representative to Oppose De Facto Wilderness

Fellow riders, as you know, our right to ride on public lands has opponents. One of the bigger threats, as I understand, is the misuse of "Wilderness Designation". The ARRA makes it VERY easy to take action. They have a simple, online form that you fill out and it automatically figures out the appro...

DirtyOldMan, how was your Eminence adventure? Is your 13 Husky one of those new Terra 650's? If so, how do you like it?

Re: Letko Cycles Open House

Thanks, Letko Cycles for a cool Open House this past Saturday plus free lunch! I drooled over the used 690 that might someday replace my F800GS. (Hmmm....a KTM 300, 450, 690 and a BMW 1200GSA.....the perfect combo?) Letko had a sweet, used, all black 2012 Tiger 800 sitting on the floor as well. $850...

Cool! Were the trails grossly overgrown or has some trail maintenance occurred in the last 60 days? I weakly tried to get some momentum behind a School Creek Trail Maintenance Day.

Re: Last Minute Get Together for Dinner and camping.

You could capture a sensational video by setting up some cameras on the curves on the Pig Tail Trail (Hwy 23) as every year a chromed out beast or 2 overshoots a hairpin. Sad.
