First Spring Cruise - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Well, my brother-in-law and I "cruised" to Oklahoma City Friday after work from Fort Smith, Arkansas and returned Saturday at about 6:30 pm. Went to a motorcycle show out there. 430 miles round trip. Cruised about 70 mph up there and about 80 mph on the way home. Lots of bikes to look at and it seemed that me and my m50 black and him and his c90 black were outnumbered by the HD crowd. Oh well, can't wait for the next trip!!!! Any of ya'll got a trip planned in the near future?

Have you or do you ride US 259 much in Eastern OK? Would love to get in your area on my bike. Great riding, eh?

Went for a 250 mile cruiser today: 84 degrees and sunny, so we ran around up in the mountains most of the day.

Ran the dragon last week (318 curves in 11 miles) up in Deals Gap NC. Heading to Palistine Texas in two weeks for a mini-rally, and riding from Atlanta GA to Long Beach CA in May.

It got up to 40 here today, I got my FI dialed in with new pipes and my air mod. Now accelleration is awesome with my M-95. I put on a 60 mile ride, I was not dressed to go much further at that temp.

S83,

There is some awesome riding here in northwest, ar. The pig trail (hwy 23), hwy 71 between alma,ar and fayetteville, ar. Not to mention hwy 7 (supposed to be one of the 10 best scenic routes in America), there is the Talimena drive on top of the staircase mountains (between talihina, ok and mena, ar). In the late spring these are all fantastic rides!! My next trip (hopefully) will be the talimena drive. I'll have to get a map and look up hwy 259, not familiar with it.
