Grove, OK - Rogers, AR...INBOUND

KSGregman · 05-17-2010, 01:20 PM

I'll be taking the back roads down to Grove, OK Friday night after work...spending the day Saturday doing a big loop through NW Arkansas and SW Missouri before returning to Grove Saturday night....ride some Sunday morning and head back to Kansas after lunch.

Anyone have local knowledge about the "must ride" roads and/or "must try" places to eat in that area?

In SW MO, Highway 125 from Sparta, MO to Yellville, AR.

I'll be in NW Arkansas riding all weekend - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=522680

I doubt I'll be anywhere you could find me during the day Saturday, though. I'll be in the woods.

Oh yeah . . . stop in Oark for lunch. Get the pie.

I will also be in Arkansas from Wed-Sunday. Here's our planned route (Kerry and I did this same route in 11 hours a few weeks ago. Will be nice to have a few days to take in the sights this time)

Hehehe...yeah...the M109-R isn't much for the offroad stuff. I hardly recognize it at the moment..have the windscreen, sissy bar, t bag and saddle bags all mounted and ready to go. I only bolt that stuff on for the longer over the road rides...in storage otherwise.

I'll give Oark a shot as we'll be in that area riding the Pig Trail...thanks!

I'm sure I'll be on the Pig trail at some point Saturday, but I really have no idea when. We'll be hitting Turner Bend for fuel and snacks.

Seems like you have all the primo routes marked...You may like Rogers this weekend, it is Bikes, Blues and Hot Rods Too MC Rally. Blue Oyster Cult, Georgia Satellites,

On the downside there will be traffic and cops galore.

KSGregman · 05-19-2010, 10:39 PM

The route for Saturday....I can't WAIT to hit the road Friday afternoon after working a short day!

Damn, is everyone invading Arkansas this weekend? I'm meeting some friends in Clarksville, AR and we'll be riding the area all weekend, including the Pig Trail.

Keep an eye out for the Busa!
