Author Topic: Fall ride in Arkansas (Read 32327 times)

gtbandit · « **on:** March 12, 2005, 02:02:46 AM »

I am planning on doing a ride in Arkansas in late Sept. or early Oct. I started this post on Max-Suz because there are a few 'Arkansas regulars' there that have made this ride before. There are already a few people that have expressed interest in this ride, but I don't expect it to get too big. I was thinking about planning 2 days worth of group rides, but staying at least a couple days extra. Most likely we'll be having this ride over a weekend, because it is easier for most people to get off work that way. If we get enough people, I am hoping to split up into smaller groups. Even if you don't want to do a group ride, you can still show up and do your own thing during the day and hang out with everyone in the evening. You don't have to have a Bandit to show up, just ride responsibly. Who's interested?

Craig, glad to see you posted your proposed trip over here at BanditAlley.
Maybe Pete will come along

Thanks for the invite Craig - keep the updates coming when they become available.

Thanks for the info Craig. Let me know when it's firmed up. Hope it's not on a major football weekend.

I'll try to sneak in when no one is looking. Hope you don't get banned for spreading the word.

We going to do Colorado again?

I just rode a Road King (Toad King) around Ouahu and Honolulu.... the ride was nice, the scooter was...well, a Harley...scraped the floorboards on the first good curve. On the other hand, you can't drive much over 50 there, with miles at 35.

Hey Joe (madmotorcyclist) . . . you listenin'?

Should we join them, or do our usual ride?

Going to try to firm up some dates soon. Anybody have any preferences or restrictions?

The first weekend in October is usually always bad for me, otherwise all is clear (for now anyway).

We will not have a "Texas" Bandit Fest this fall, a least not one planned by me, so this would be a great alternative trip. Craig is an excellent rider and knows all the good roads in AR/Southern MO.

Does anyone have any conflicting interest on Sept. 22-25? I was thinking of having the group rides on Friday and Saturday (23-24) and using Thursday and Sunday as travel days. We can also shift those dates forward or backwards a couple days if need be. Of course, you can always come earlier and/or leave later like I plan on doing.

That weekend is open for me. However, I do have something the week before which may prevent me from attending this. Just too much jamed into a short period of time.

There is never a good weekend for everyone so just plan and go for it! I'll let ya know!

DAGNABBIT DAVE! I'm really hoping you'll be able to attend. There is still plenty of time, so if another weekend works better for you speak up now and we'll see which weekend works best for everyone.

Major football weekend? VCRs are pretty cheap these days! Or are you referring to high school football? If so, when will you know the schedule?

If someone at M-S wants to ban me for inviting banned members, then so be it! Just get your arse to Arkansas!

Don't know, but since it's looking like I probably won't make it to the BOSS rally, I'd be game if I can get off work. I'd like to bring my Bandit this time.

novel idea, take a bandit to a bandit rally....unless you're SV Larry

If anybody hoping to come has any problems with the dates posted above, please post up now! (It's not too late, yet.) I want to firm up the dates in the next 7 to 10 days if possible. Also, I would like to start planning on a location. If you have any preferences, post up! Everybody has equal say!

Good plan. I may bring the DR650. And I will definitely have to trailer part way. What a boring ride from Atlanta to Memphis. Where are thinking of basing this rally?
