If you have a room and are looking to split, I have a friend who has cleared through his wife and job and wants to come. I will have a confirmation whether he is coming very soon but it's looking like he is 90% right now.

Hey, my buddy should know this week (hopefully today) and will need to split a room. I'll let you know as things develop. I am rooming with David and my bud Chris lives in Tomball so if he comes we can ride up together. Of course, that is assuming you want to ride with us....LOL.

Chris (my buddy) has the time off approved and is checking with the other boss tonight. He said that for the most part he is in and will offer a full commitment tonight. I'll give him your contact info once everything is confirmed 100%.

I just sent you a PM Larry.

I'm good with it buddy :thumbup:

Gumbo,
Feel free to modify this one. It's starts in Willis where I figure would be a good meeting place where we can gas up. The route is planned around gas stops at a max of 110 miles between. Don't know your range but am thinking 130-150 before your light comes on plus I like to stretch every 100 miles or so.
I am attaching as a zip of a gpx and also here is the Google Maps Link:
http://goo.gl/maps/IZqbQ (http://goo.gl/maps/IZqbQ)
This route goes up to the Talimena trail so we can get a little ride in on the trip up. After looking at other options it's not likely that we will get there and want to go on a 250 mile ride and this adds only 50 or so miles to the trip up. Feel free to use some of your knowledge of the area to tweak.
Of course if you have a completely different idea lets see it!! I am good for 800 miles a day.
-
Rocket67 and I have a nice route planned. Staying away from 59 and hitting the Talimena in Oklahoma and coming into Mena from the West. I will see if I can post up a link to what we have planned.

Thanks Scott. You beat me to it.

Thanks Scott. You beat me to it.
Actually I thought you were talking about a new route but it got me to thinking, we could head up from MtPleasant to Talahina and take the whole trail instead of half. I'll work something up and get back to you on that one.
-
Ok, slight modification (don't have the gpx yet) which takes us along the entire Talimena Trail.
http://goo.gl/maps/4W5OO (http://goo.gl/maps/4W5OO)
Looks like an awesome ride plus 3 states in one day. Considering that most of it is Texas that is one good ride. Starts at Shell or Chevron on FM 1097 in Willis and is about 430 miles to the Hotel.
Feel free to modify as you wish. I don't care which way we go as long as it's interesting.
BTW, somewhere along this route we need to stop and pick up some beer. :c
-
What time would you guys be meeting up in Willis?
-
Scott,
I made a few changes to what you had. A more direct route out of Texas. Take a look and see what you think.

Paul, I was thinking early say about 7:00 but I am flexible.

I took the waypoints out and used Citys instead so I could map it on my mobile phone. The only difference is it takes 3 instead of 271 North of Hugo. I am good either way and can create a gpx file if anyone wants to load into a GPS. I don't have GPS so have to program in the next city at every stop. Google Mobile does not really work that well with saved maps. Ok, doesn't work at ALL with saved maps.

I am good with 7 as well. That will put us in Mena pretty early even with stops. Might have to take a ride out to the casino!!
-
Ok. I may join you guys. Route and times look good.
-
Good route...if we play our cards right...the DFW Group..(PaperPeddler, VTXChad, myself) can meet up with ya'll in Paris...
Thoughts?

I will map it with my Garmin and I will have it with me. The only problem with your Google Mobile map is that it is not routing on OK 1/AR 88. I will fix that with the Garmin map and create a gpx also. Since we are going to have Gumbo with us it all really does not matter because we will get lost anyway. :bikerider:

That would work for me. Looks like we will be leaving out of Willis about 7:00 and I think it is about a 4 hour drive to Paris with stops. I think that a meet-up there around Noon would work good.
-

I think we would be in Paris around 10:30-11:00AM. If you guys don't mind waiting....lets plan it!!
Or...LOL, what David Said. (just saw it and had to modify). Noon makes sense as we are probably going to need a bite to eat by then.

You mean 1 North of Tuskahoma right? I don't have GPS but think I can import the gpx into my Harley Ride planner which in turn will work on Chris' GPS (non-member). I might have to buy a GPS since I like looking at the data...miles to next turn, distance/time to destination etc.
Hey Gumbo, want to sell me back the TomTom?
-
No but I will give it to you

So it the plan to meet up in Paris TX ???
If that is the plan do we in Houston have a route planned ??? I was looking at the map and Huntsville taking HWY 19 will run the Houston bunch right into Paris, or I can use the Sun method to get up there :stickpoke:
-
davidJ an rocket67 have something mapped

Well we meet up in Paris, then we can follow the group.

I was kidding, its not fuzzy. From Paris we are heading to Talahina OK where we will pick up the Talimena Scenic Byway. There are a few maps floating around, David has the best one and is creating a gpx file for anyone who wants to use gps.
-
Paris for lunch!!

would ride 59 all the way, going to Paris would take me out of the way see yall there :bikerider:
Got mc trailer rhino lined yellow, and new driveshaft in the banana, 0ver 300 miles today dang was hot, but got bike all done :thumbup:
-
They are going 19 to be able to come in on the 50 mile plus mountain top ridge road from Talihina to Mena, known as the Talimena parkway, or a small Ar section known as skyline dr. It is one of the attractions of the area, one I'm sure even the banana won't want to miss. ;D If you're for sure set on coming 59, I can meet up with you before you get to Ar and ride up with you, even though you are on a banana. 8)

Thats still just sooooo wrong, lol!! ;D Wanna' go camping Gumbo?

I know this is off topic, but Rocket67 and I are riding to, around Austin and back tomorrow if interested. KSU @ 0730 Tomball Lowes parking lot. See you there if you want to go. Should be a great ride with equally great weather. Bring a bathing suit in case we decide to go cool off at Barton Springs. See ya and remember to keep the rubber side down.
