We have been  To Eureka around 10 times in the last few years.  Great roads, food, music, and local events. Hopefully, we will be at the right time, and it's a good year for the tree's turning.

That last time I rode to Eureka Springs was in October of 2008.  It will be a nice trip worth reminiscing on.

think I remember that trip. You were going and I was on my way back. Raining and a bit chilly as I recall.

Yeah, I totally remember that.  It was cold and wet.  I remember coming back home thru Indian Turn pike when a nasty storm and cold front hit us.  It was brutal.  I think I spent a good hour in the shower under the hottest water I could get out just to thaw out. 

I'll say I was probably a little under prepared that trip 10 years ago.  Not so much these days.

Getting ready for this trip. 

Just installed a spare tire holder on the PUP PEN, new tires on the scoot, fresh oil change ( a little early but I got a big ride to OK in two weeks), added some more cool video equipment to my arsenal (smove mobile).  I got some more stuff that I need but just pacing myself.

Where you going in Oklahoma

On September 15th we're riding from Paris Harley Davidson to the Choctaw Casino to be part of an attempt to break the world record of a parade of only Harley-Davidsons.

Scott (Rocket67) and Gary (Zerogs) are signed up and going.

So let say someone sneaked in with a VTX would that ruin the attempt
