Why do I always come back with more crap than I left with? It never fails..... born pack rat! 

View from the top of the Scenic 56 mile drive from Talahina, OK to Mena, AR 

Well I don't think any of my old BMW buddies can find me here! 

Think I will just live here! Anybody want to rent my house in Dallas? 

Cedar Lake at Sunset 

I love it up here in the Oauchita Mountains! 

Even with camping gear it is well balanced and handles great on the twisties. 

Now lets see if this 56 miles of twisties will make me want my BMW back! 

Feet flat on the ground. This is really comfortable. 

Mount Nebo Arkansas 

Mount Nebo Arkansas in record time! 

Man on man.. just can't get enough riding time on this bike. It runs sweet! Think I'll go ride some more before setting camp! 

I do miss the fairing though. I'll just have to keep spare floss around for the bugs. Plenty of space for camping gear! 

Billy Creek is an awesome camp spot. Nothing like the sound of a sound of a brisk spring without a camp full of boyscouts. Watch out for bears though. 

That was an easy 4 hour trip. WOW .. my kness don't hurt at all and my butt not numb. No vibration! 

I am going to miss that 240 plus mile range of the BMW RT though. 

Now that it is good and broken in. It is time to see what this little puppy will do in the mountains! 

Where does the camping gear go? 

Triumph Speedmaster is the best bike I've owned

I traded a 2001 BMW R1100 RT in on this bike and was a bit concerned that I would not like the handling. Well I was wrong. A recent trip to Talimena Scenic Highway was a pure blast.
