Eureka Springs AR area - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Anyone in that area I need some info if you have it.

I'll be meeting up with a military buddy there on the 23rd. Unfortunately I won't have time to try to hook up a ride with anyone this time around.

Do any of you have info on Hwy 86/Hwy 21 and what type of shape they are in..etc?

I was looking at the maps and thought I might leave Hwy 65 after crossing out of Missouri and take that until I hit Hwy 62.

dang it dragbar!!! your teasing me with my old haunts. we used to go up that way every summer. love that area..... have fun and take some pics of the sights.

dragbar · 06-19-2006, 06:38 AM

I only have about 24 hours..I'm going 2 meet someone...crashing a wedding and then leaving Saturday sometime. She has to be back to work in Tulsa on Sunday so time is limited.

So I won't have time to wonder too far around Beaver lake..etc. Though I do plan on riding 62 all the way back through your home on my way back to Cape. :p

pop the throttle a few times thru Black Rock for me...... btw are you talking about HWY 63? enjoy that road while you can. they are in the process of 4 laning it from Jonesboro all the way thru to the Springfield area. It will be Interstate 555..... the stretch from Imboden, AR to Thayer, MO is a great ride.

dragbar · 06-19-2006, 09:28 AM

Ok 62/412 to 63..u know what I mean.... I'd stop by your homestead..but #1: ur folks don't know me...and #2: I don't know if ur momma makes good beans & cornbread..haha

outlaw · 06-19-2006, 03:41 PM

OH MAN LET ME TELL YA!!!! she makes tha BEST beans and corn bread in the whole universe. she has this yellow squash relish (chow chow) that you put on them and dizam!!!! oh, btw, the sweet tea is the best in the south also. if they like ya they might even fry up some deer meat.

they live on 63. when you go over the big blue bridge over Black River about 1.5-2 miles on the left is a business called Eagan Mfg. that is my step fathers business. stop in and say hi for me if you get a chance. they would get a kick out of that.

outlaw · 06-21-2006, 08:26 PM

hey dragbar how was the trip?

dragbar · 06-21-2006, 09:27 PM

Don't leave until the 23rd, Friday.

outlaw · 06-22-2006, 03:55 AM

oh i was thinking last weekend for some reason... i don't know where my head is.... probably back in bed.....

dragbar · 06-25-2006, 03:12 PM

Well made it back ok. Came through Black Rock and saw the business. Was trying to make up some time though, cause I got behind every single 40 mph driver in Northern Arkansas.

Has a good time in Eureka Springs, though didn't ride much. Mainly drank..haha. Will have to go back for a strictly ride weekend soon. Very nice town and area though.

outlaw · 06-25-2006, 09:01 PM

cool man, glad to hear you had a good time. i can't wait to visit the folks so we can plan a good ride thru the ozarks....

dragbar · 06-25-2006, 11:31 PM

Well when you come home, you can show me some of those great twisties I have yet to hit.

Actually I kinda liked that road from Black Rock, up through Davidson Park to just outside Pocahontas.

Looking at my ride map graph..I've got alot of counties to fill out.

But after returning and looking over my back tire, I'll definately have to get a new one within the next month. My fronts good but I'll change it out too.

outlaw · 06-26-2006, 04:08 AM

there is one corner coming down a hill just outside of B.R. long sweeper to the right. i grew up just to the left of that corner up the gravel road about 1/4 mile. that area has all changed. they just put that road in when i was a junior in highschool. it used to be gravel and ended at the river. we used to party our butts off down on the river by where the bridge is now. kinda makes me homesick.... road trip in the making!!!!

My hometown, I can't wait to get a trailer so when I take the family back down there I can ride my old neighborhood.

dragbar · 07-21-2006, 07:48 AM

Give me a hollar if you ever wanna ride the area Boss.

outlaw · 07-21-2006, 08:46 PM

i grew up over near walnut ridge boss and used to "cruise" the strip "nettleton" over in j town

BOSS750 · 07-21-2006, 10:29 PM

Lol, Now that I think back to it I wonder why people thought it to be cool to ride up and down nettleton all night. I don't think it would be as much fun now with gas prices being over a million dollars a gallon. It would be fun if everyone had bikes back then though

outlaw · 07-24-2006, 07:38 AM

thinkin back it was kinda weird. everyone just driving by staring at each other. we didn't know many people. we would stop in the parking lot by the burger king and talk with a few people, but the end result was never worth the effort. all seems kinda pointless now. we had more fun at the parties we threw down on the river anyways.
