Re: ROMEO RENDEVOUS

Can't believe you didn't pick a flea bag motel (just kidding Bucky) . This one looks really nice and I have made my res. already. The fire pit will be just like camping, only better. :D Leo

Re: Remember when?

Did you ever pass your buddy and reach down and turn off his gas or ignition on the way by? How about "parking" with your motorcycle, riding into the park to the pick nick tables. Yes, I do remember pulling the key out of the brit bikes that had them on the side panel--and as far as "...

Re: Update from Houston

Jerry: So glad you made it there ok and are having "positive" experiences blending in. I am also a displaced Kansan here in AR and appreciate you getting me set up on the website. Occasionally I can make a lunch ride from here in N. Central AR ( as in Tightwad) . Will try more as the days ...

Re: Remember when?

Nortons, Triumphs and BSA's were languishing in garages across the nation--unwanted and unloved because of the "superior" Japanese bikes--and could be purchased for about $1.00 per cc. Cushman's also had not appreciated and there were rare finds. Fast forward--now the throwaway jap stuff i...

Re: Fools in April Campout

Great campout--no rain except for the KC guys coming down on Fri. One of the best facilities with a fire pit, horseshoes and a shelter with electricity. 11 riders, not all for both nights. Jim Bishop took some pix and a video with camp/area guide and secret undercover operative (Terry Potter) narrat...

Re: Fools in April Campout

Hello campers! This weather is great--hope it holds out for our campout. I just wanted to post the reservation number: Res# 2-12146368 . According to our secret undercover operative, they have improved security--may not be a bad idea to write this # down for entry to area G-1. Hope to see you all th...

Re: Fools in April Campout

OK Wal-mart campers--3 of us went up there last weekend and looked around. I made reservations for a group camping area at "Outlet Park" at Pomme De Terre lake. It's at the West end of the dam on hi-254 and its area G-1. Not the exact one I wanted, but this area is open and will handle up ...

Fools in April Campout

Last year around tax time, 11 of us gathered at Pomme De Terre lake for an early campout and it RAINED--so lets do it again in 10. Details on the exact sites are pending further scrutiny, but will probably be around the "damsite" camp area. We just want to make sure we can have a roaring c...

Re: No Ride This Week - 1/3/2010

Guys--Hope the snow melts soon "way up North" in KC. Here are a few pix, if it works, of my New Years Day ride from Gassville, through Mountain View to Conway. 18 degrees to start, then warmed up to 45 or so later. 325 mile round trip--nice ride--then the next day the weather turned to jus...

Re: Pomme De Terre Campout ( Mo.)

Started out Wed. to Pomme De Terre to physically check out the planned camp area, but at Marshfield Mo on 38 I was almost blown off the road in a driving rain--so I headed back South. Anyway, this is kind of an open to ideas, places to eat and places to ride sort of get together, so keep your eyes o...
