Hey everyone. Looks like pretty nice weather on Tuesday Jan 13. A few folks had some interest in riding over to the peel ferry and eating somewhere up that way. A few of the places that I know about up that way are closed during the week for winter hours. I was told that Shirley’s Kitchen in Forsyth Missouri caters to lots of bikers and has great food.
I spoke to Rose at Shirley’s Kitchen .. she’s really spicy and fun. Anyway, they have a table reserved for us at 11am on Tuesday. Thought we could ride from Yellville up to the ferry .. ride the ferry over and then another 35 minutes or so up to Forsyth. The distance from Mountain Home to Shirley’s is 71 miles. Not too bad with nice weather. Same distance from Yellville to Shirley’s. The ride should be nice from Yellville.
Some of us can meet in Yellville at the Phillip 66 and take hwy 14. I’ll probably correspond once more before I see you all next Tuesday. Make sure the weather behaves.
Might as well enjoy a slightly longer ride since the good weather may not last.
Hope to see you next Tuesday. Ed ..

Happy Monday everyone. I made sure to check that the peel ferry is open tomorrow Tuesday and it is. Going to be 50 degrees at 10am and 60 by 11am. Looks like a great ride up to Shirley’s Kitchen. Rose and the gang are looking for us about 10:45am. Breakfast all day too ..
Hope to see a few riders tomorrow.
Ride safe. Ed ..

What a nice Ride To Eat (RTE) today. Last nice weather ride for a few weeks. We pulled it off !!! 155 miles on my odometer.
Todd, Neil, Jim, Mike N., Glenn, John, Sharon and myself (Ed) met up this morning at 9:30am at the Phillip 66 in Yellville Ark .. like clock work. Glenn led us north on Hwy 14 and then on to Hwy 125 to the Peel Ferry. Our ferry timing was not the best, but that gave us more time for conversation while we waited. Beautiful sunshine too. Before we knew it, the ferry was docking for our trip across Bull Shoals lake. After another 20 minutes of picture taking and fellowship on the ferry, we were off to Shirley’s Kitchen. I called them and told them we would be 45 minutes late.
The ride up to Forsyth Mo was very nice. The winds started picking up a bit which always makes it interesting on two wheels. Anyway, we rode lots and lots of twisty roads. Very nice roads with few to no real potholes. After we arrived at Shirley’s Kitchen, we noticed another four bikes parked outside. It was Larry, Doug, Bill and Tony. Nice fellas for sure. The four had already eaten .. thanks to our ferry timing. It’s all good. Anyway, Shirley’s was nice. Thank you Jamie and Rose. We had a nice time and a great RTE.
Looks like we are back to colder temps for two plus weeks. Thinking we are gonna do Brenda’s for a breakfast feast next week. I will post that ride/drive in a day or two.
Thanks again everyone for making the haul up to Shirley’s.
Talk soon. Ed ..

- Todd Merryman on his Triumph Tiger. Todd’s work schedule was a bit tight that day. We think he was just a little late getting back to work. Send us a bill Todd for any lost wages .. and I’ll make sure the Peel ferry captain covers it.
-
- Mr. Jim Eickman .. he even looks good with helmet hair.
-
- John and Sharon Hamilton just arriving in Yellville. So glad Sharon could join us on this trip.

- Bikes lined up waiting to board the ferry with Jim and Glenn in the lead.
-
- Here comes the Peel ferry to pick us up but not in any big hurry. We thought maybe it had ran-aground with the low water level or that the captain dropped anchor and was enjoying his sack lunch .. but it was actually still moving our direction.
-
- Crossing Bull Shoals lake on the Peel ferry. Riders were enjoying conversations. Just a beautiful day.
-
- Jamie was so sweet. She took our orders and served us with a smile.
-
- Sharon and Ed taking a selfie. Sharon is such a fun gal. John matched all the power ball numbers when he met her. They are such a nice couple !!
-
- Neil’s shirt read “I Like My Breakfast Burrito”. It almost looked like he was holding his actual breakfast but his shirt displayed in 3D. Neil was having such a great day as always. If I had six Moto Guzzis I’d never stop smiling either !!
-
- Very thoughtful of Jamie and Rose to make the time to put together our Welcome Romeos sign. Jim told me to cut out the Shirley’s Kitchen verbiage and display the custom sign at all our future rides. Jim does have great ideas.

- Great time Shirley’s Kitchen !! Jamie and Rose made it special.
