Rolled up the garage door about 0610 yesterday morning and the green and silver beast was champing at the bit. She thought i was taking too long to gear up!!
It was 52 degrees F and the chaps were needed for at the very least the warmth they provided. Over to micky ds and a quick sausage biscuit and coffee and rollin by 0700. South and west out of here over towards Branson little further west south of Branson and into Arkansas. When i got to Berryville the gas gauge was needing attention. Glad i filled in Berryville. 3.30.9 because in Eureka Springs it jumped .19 to .26 cents a gallon more!!
Went all the way thru town on U S 62 and out the other side and found a gas station to turn around in. As i had my back to the highway i heard another Valkyrie pull away from the stop sign heading back into E S. Tried but couldn't catch him. I stopped at the leather shop i had seen on the way out of town. As i was talking with a very nice young lady i hear a Valkyrie pull into the lot of the leather shop. Yuppers-tied up with gordorad!!
We talked-he took a picture of me(thank GOD i wasn't the cause of an expensive camera failure) went to micky ds fer some iced tea and went out to that wild animal rescue refuge. We need to all of us make that a stop while we are down there in July.
I managed to dump my Valkyrie in the parking lot of the refuge.
Front end washed out on the sand/gravel parking lot and i low sided it at walking speed. Needed gordorads help getting it back on two wheels, Thanks man.
Went dowtown with him and saw that yellow and cream one he took pictures of. Very nice couple. You do meet the nicest people on a Honda.
The leather jackets felt good while we were rolling but as soon as we parked it was a tad warmish. Had crystal clear blue skies all day and low to mid 70s and very low humidity. All my years riding yesterday was an easy top 5 day. Got home about 2045 last night and just such a great day for a ride. The phatt ghurl gave me 379 trouble free miles and a lot of grins giggles and laughs. That cool dry air seemed like i had 20 extra horsepower!!
As i had never been to E S before just my few hours down there-we is gonna have a serious amount of fun there come July.
Now you see why i posted seperate. DID NOT want to hijack someone(gordorad) elses thread.
Can't wait to meet a lot of you people i only converse with on the computer now. There be some fine riding to be had there. Getting there and back from my Lacasa was a good ride in and of itself. RIDE SAFE.
