hwy 7 but beware of traffic
hwy 27, hwy 74 & 66 to Mountain View for 173 miles

also on the list are 5, 154, 155, 186, 164, 123, 14, 9 and return home on hwy 65 (there will be lots of cops on hwy 65 though)

Those are just a a few for 300 mile days around Hot Springs.  Have fun and be safe.

Thanks for the suggestions Dax. This is my first trip up to AR and can't wait to try the good stuff.

the really good stuff is around Mountain View and Eureka which is doable in a day.  Try Jasper if you can go as well.

Wish I could go, but have a combo of work and house projects. 

I did run into a buddy of mine ( Buell Jim ) from Motopia, and he mentioned that he and Rene are trailering bikes up there for the weekend, so keep an eye out for a white Buell and Rene's 1098s... 

Have not been up to Ark in over a year :(

O.K. packed and ready to go.  Had it all in my tank bag but it ended up being just a bit too tall so the backpack is going too.  

Should be a fun trip  [moto]

It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Good ride up today; traffic wasn't bad at all. Mostly slab but there was a fun bit around Horatio. The "slab" up here is far more interesting than DFW.

Got into town about 1:15. Just in time for some Mexican and a couple of margaritas. Checked into the Arlington @ 3:00, cleaned up, then took a walk down the main drag. Got some good pics and had an awesome dinner at a German place. I'm still stuffed.

Early breakfast @ 7:00 then were off on a 350 mile route of twisty asphalt goodness.  [thumbsup]

Hope the roads are clear, the sun is out and all the RV drivers and cops are having donuts and coffee. Hope it's not as hot in AR as it is here. :P Too hot too soon, doesn't bode well for the rest of the summer if this keeps up. Shades of 1980! [bang]
