Hi there!
I spent a few days on the bike recently riding 7 from Harrison to Arkadelphia. OoooowEEEE! This girl had fun!
I left Dallas and visited family in Tulsa. Saturday morning was sunny and cool. After taking Pop for a neighborhood cruise, I headed up to Eureka Springs. The streets were full of motorcycles. @ the Rodeway Inn I saw a meeting of Kaw ZRX owners. Old Skool Kawasaki Hooligan bike 8)
The day was flawless. Saturday afternoon saw me headed 62 East towards Harrison and Scenic 7. In ES I only got to see Lee and Kel and of course MMouse. If weather holds, There'll def be more trips up to ES by bike. I wish there'd been more time to connect with people, but I was all antsy to ride and wouldn;t have stayed anywhere long :oops:
After a meal in Jasper - and a chat with a Handsome Deputy Sheriff who rides, it was time for a hotel in Jasper. No luck.
The next town on 7 is Russelville, and it was a quarter to 8 when I left. Despite my best efforts, 45 miles of Scenic 7 were travelled by moonlight. The landscape was almost surreal. Starlight like I've not seen in years jumped out at me. I pulled over and shut down for a minute to soak up the stillness. Betime I hit Russelville I was cold and tired, and my tail hurt from so much saddle time.
Sunday I continued 7 down through Hot Springs. That's on my list of towns to stroll around and photograph. Beautiful, and full of character. Finally @ Arkadelphia my big girl ( Motorcycle ) and I hopped on highway 30W and beat feet for Dallas.
No real magic on this trip. Unfamiliar roads, oncoming traffic and such kept me keyed up.
Hope I see you on the road sometime. I am on a dark silver over navy Sporttouring bike. Black or silver/black helmets, Grey armored mesh jacket. Give me a honk~
