    Ahh...yes...
    Many in Arkansas are on 4 wheels,

    but, as we all know

    4 wheels moves the body

    and 2 wheels moves the soul.:tongue:

    Man, I can't wait till the season starts.

    I'm about to put in Ohlins shock, racetech forks & valves

    and Galfer lines.

    Just raised the tail 19 mm with the Thurn triangle.

    Can't wait to see how she rides.

    Did I mention I live on the Serpent?:biggrin:

    Yeah, we got snow--
    I'm glad I'm not done with all the upgrades
    or I'd be bummed about the weather.

    I recently moved from the Little Rock area
    to North Central AR.

    I live on 341 (Push Mountain Rd., "The Serpent")

    have you ridden it?

    Hello fellow ARKIES! I wish I was closer to you guys. I'm located in Bentonville, AR.......AKA: Wally World HQ.
    There is a guy around here that rides a red vfr (5th Gen), but I can't ever catch up to him to find out who he is.
    By the way, I understand the 4 wheeler thing. Tons of those things around here.
    Be safe and maybe I'll see you all on the Pig Trail.

I am planning to go to the Honda dealership. Let me know. I will be there a week from tomarrow. Would love to meet some other VFR riders. You guys seen the patches SilverSurfer has???

    Hey Ya'll,
    I live in Texarkana and was up your way this past weekend Killerkingdom, we went to Hot Springs for the weekend and took the boat out.

    I have a friend here in town who is the event coordinator at McKinnon Honda and I"m gonna get with him to see when is his next ride. He usually puts something together.

    I'll let ya know if we head up that way.

    and by the way. My father in law is a BIG motorcycle enthusiast. he's got about 15 bikes and loves BMW's. they have a little place on Caddo River in Glenwood, and supose to be heading up that way. maybe we can meet up and ride.

    as you can tell, I'm little slow checking out this thread also.

    I'll let you know when I find out about a road trip heading your way.
    also, my mom and stepdad own a house in Glenwood on the Caddo river, and he's big into motorcycles, always wanting to ride, so sometime we'll make a ride to Hot Springs and ride around Ouatchita lake or around there somewhere.

    Hi all, I live out side of west little Rock. I can be in Hot Springs in 1 hour. I'm up for a ride when ever you guys are. This weekend I think I'm going to Clinton and taking hwy 9 and go all the way to Mammoth Spring, then go to My sisters house in West Plains, MO.
    I like to ride on hwy 7 and all around hwy 7 on the north side. I also want to ride the pig trail. Hope you all are having fun this summer.

    I live in Conway. Work in Little Rock (Cycle Gear). I would love to go ride with you guys sometime. Unfortunately I work every weekend. If you guys are in the area stop by and see me. Maybe I can get together with some of you during the week.

    Sometimes I'm off during the week to. I will stop by to check out what you have at the shop and ask for svader. I would be willing to bet you have been on the roads that go right by my house. Little Italy or Wye mountain ring a bell to you?

    Sounds like a great plan. I was at cycle world today and what a nice place, it makes me want full gear asap. I met SVADER, he was really helpful and nice. SVADER may not be able to go with us on the weekend since his job is to cater to all the weekender motorcycle crowd (Sat & Sun):director:

    It was great to meet you today whenindoubt01. Yeah weekend rides are hard for me to make. Hopefully I can meet up with you guys sometime though. whenindoubt01 hope you had a good dry ride home. I left work about 730 it was sprinkling lightly and by the time I got home the sun was shining and the roads were all dry.
