from the Columbia Mo area. The above post of Missouri being sick? I have to say we have no shortage of roads that are twistie and extremely fun. I have ridden in southern Missouri around Branson and northern Arkansas area...We have a group heading down to Arkansas next weekend (Sept. 29) for the Bike Blues and Barb q rally, its a hell of a time with great roads to get to fast. We are going to hit push mountian road in Arkansas ( suppose to be one of the best roads in Arkansas, kinda amini deals gap). Steve

Steve Unless you're some kind of weirdo, you will not be disappointed by Push Mtn. It is good and twisted with fantastic pavement. It's one of those roads that goes from nowhere to nowhere so it doesn't get all that much traffic most of the time, except from bikes. My only gripe with it is that it's a couple of hours north of me. Chango

love 94, we go to Herman for Octoberfest every year on our bikes. Man its a great road. As far as push Mt road going nowhere to nowhere that sounds like a bikers dream, I have been told it will be fun. Next weekened Sept. 29 we will be there enjoying being in the middle of nowhere....can't wait. Steve

As I said I'm an atlas of the area. Hwy T, Hwy F, Hwy D, Hwy TT, OO, M. THe list is a mile long. Shoot me a line and I can give a tour of MY fav. line through the bluffs. No dissappointment here. Always looking for someone to ride with.(safety in numbers) My old man sports a 1400+ pound gold wing. so he's not much fun on the twisties. always whining about scraping something or another.

if you ever want to make it to Columbia or meet up with us on 94 we ride that area at least twice a month, their is usually aroung 20-25 bikes in the pack. Saftey in #'s is so true more ways than one...maybe we can hook up for a ride. Steve

Just give a little notice next time you go. Be more than happy to meet up. And I go through columbia every other friday and sunday. I have custody of my three kids and their mom lives in KC. Trailering the bike would be an option for a meet. Just let me know.

The bike's a 750. just gave $600 for it!! changed the oil, plugs, and started it with sea foam. smoked like hell and got all chattery. Put a couple seals in the carbs and ran some lucas oil stabilizer through and it runs like a champ. As far as the festival, last time I was there they were having a tough truck contest I was in during high school. Got third. be happy to join you though. we're actually going through this weekend but there are already plans. probably try and make it sat. the 7th possibly sunday too I guess. is the festival all month? Oh, and I'm new what's pm email?

I had a 86 750 and wish i still had not gotten ride of it. Ridden a 93 750 that beloned to a good friend. i would like to get an old air cooled 1100 just to have they look and sound so neat.

Arkansas was great, nice people and a very large amount of extremely good roads to ride. We had a blast riding push mountain rd, 123, 74 out of Jasper, 7, 71 into Fayetville, and about 30 other roads i do not remember. All in all we got in about 250 miles a day (3 days of riding) and darn near wore the edge out of my tires lots of tread left in the middle though. Welljust wanted to update people on my trip. Three times the old 00 750 has been to Arkansas and three time its had as much fun as me. Oh yea the bike blues and bbq in Fayetville is awesome to go to, 3rd year for that also. Steve

On top of how long it's been, last time was only for one day, so it's twice as bad! Next year I may not be in the area anymore. I graduate in December and I'm looking at a couple of jobs in the Atlanta area, so I'll have a lot more tracks to choose from. Hmmmm... Road Atlanta, Barber will only be 2 1/2 hrs, Jennings about the same, one in South Carolina, Talladega, and it seems like another one, but I can't think of it right off hand... Chango
