Ok, just got accepted to a course at PEC, near Little Rock AR
I'm driving down, bike in the back, not sure of how much free time I'll have while I'm there.

Who has leads on good riding in the area?
Anyone live in that vicinity?

Drewpy and I ended up not terribly far away from there checking out roads on our cross country trip... can't remember any of the roads though...lol

Ozarks were nice and if you look at the map, there's LOTS of wiggly lines all around... Call a dealership or see if there's a local forum if you can't get any leads here... Or there's always those sites that list good motorcycle roads - gotta Google that, can't remember...

Go northwest to the Ozarks National Forest. Some great riding, and it's only a couple of hours from there.

I'm around 5-1/2 hours from Little Rock. I'd meet ya up in the Ozarks some weekend to ride. I go there every year. Actually just went last weekend, and the riding is fantastic.

Look up Highway 7 going south out of Jasper, and Highway 123 north out of Clarksville to Highway 7. That'll get ya started. :)

Sweet, I'm only there for 2 weeks 3-15 June, and not sure what we'll get for time off, so just looking at which direction to start heading.

Looks like 27 could be good too. Hell, all the roads in that area are pretty squiggley!

I thought we had some AR people on here????

The Pig Trail is fun, but short. Maybe 10-15 miles. There is a little convenience store along it that you can stop and get a Pig Trail keychain and sticker if you so desire.

And I do get the weekend off, so I should get some decent riding in.
May head up to Nashville though too, Don't know when I'll be this close again...

Got out a bit tonight, but the bike was giving me probs. It's either the speed sensor or the cluster (not sure which) but my speedo keeps cutting out. In itself, not a huge issue, but it also no longer adds miles, so I don't really know how much gas I have left! That is the real problem.

Do you know, any HD dealers in the area that still carry Buell parts? Looks like I need a speed sensor.

You had the whole bike apart not long ago. Are you sure you plugged it in good? Maybe it came loose.

I was having intermittent issues with it prior to disassembly, it's just becoming more predominate now, so I should probably get it changed before it quits completely.

Drewpy, are they all still good w/Buell?
There are 5 locations listed. Murfreesburo, Memphis, Collierville, Jackson, and Lynchburg.

Well, the belt is good for about 17k.
Snapped on me the other night when I was out for supper. Luckily I wasn't far from post and was able to get someone to rescue me with little effort.
Also luckily, I had ordered a belt with the speed sensor that went out earlier from Al at ASB. Those parts will come down to IA with my unit as they were shipped to my house in ND.
I picked up another belt from Lake of the Ozarks HD, the only dealer from AR to ND that had one in stock, so I will have a spare too.
