We missed that this year. How was it? Did you have fun? Anything new this year? Pictures?
We'll be back next year I'm hoping.
I'll admit that I did not go for the "party atmosphere", so never really went downtown Rogers.
I go for the riding, especially between Eureka Springs and Rogers.
I hadn't been down there for a couple years, but it sure seemed to be really well attended.
The bad thing was how freaking hot it was. It was upper 90's both Friday and Saturday.
Pig Trail HD (both Eureka Springs and Rogers) were really packed.
As usual though, so much good riding in that area. There were a couple of accidents where riders failed to negotiate those hairpin cures.
Last I heard was only minor injuries though.
Didn't take any pictures. Not really much different than any other big rally.
Woke up this morning for the ride home, and the weather was a little cooler so made for a good ride home.
About 220 miles to home.
Life has been crazy the last few months and unfortunately the summer has passed with very little riding. This weekend I got in about 250 miles, nice combination of interstate and backroads. Hard to believe I’ve only ridden 1,280 miles in the last 4 months.
While out riding on Saturday, had lunch at a place I haven’t been in a while, Razzoo’s Cajun Cafe..
Our group took a ride to the Michigan Upper Peninsula (UP). Left on Thursday - from home to the UP was about 260 miles.
Took several side trips while there = spending a lot of time riding around the Great Lakes. Also, visited the Soo locks. Absolutely beautiful weather -only a little rain on Friday AM but still warm weather - and very comfortable riding the entire time.
Got home on Sunday around 4PM - total miles for this trip was 980 miles.
I love mine, it probably does not suit everyone as it is a sport touring machine. It rides a little rougher and the hand and foot controls are set up to be more aggressive.
I sent my seat to Mean City cycles last week for an upgrade of memory foam. I got it back Friday and finally got a chance to ride today. I put 136 miles on this morning. Either the oil change unbalanced the motor, or the seat is not going to work on this bike. I now can feel the engine vibrations through my entire body along with every pebble under my rear tire. I really wish I would have left the seat alone now, it was not that bad to begin with.
Sorry to hear you are not liking your seat work.
My brother is riding his stock seat for now but may change it out.
He just got his ceramic coated and it looks good.
Says the stock pipe is to quiet and will change it out soon.
Only has 700 miles on his due to work and family commitments but will get some more miles on it in the next couple of weeks.
