Melissa and I just returned from Russellville, AR where we purchased a 2013 Honda Gold Wing. On the way home we stopped at Crystall Bridges, an American Art Gallery which opened in this spring in Bentonville. It is the dream of Sam Walton's sister.
My 2009 Gold Wing had 143,000+ miles on it and I have been thinking about trading or keeping....
Russellville has one of the biggest selection of Honda Motorcycles I have ever seen.
I think they told me they are now selling FIVE lines of trikes. It is a great place to compare trikes and their salespeople are very knowledgeable.
They have many unique paint jobs or will paint it anyway you want it.
You don't hear much about their used bikes, but here are just a few
(I have to quit for now. If you are interested come back, I will finish this later, Roger)
I am back.....Very funny, Jerry You made me laugh. No I didn't buy a trike
I looked at this one for a long time, but I didn't think Melissa would last very long on it.
I am more into black...
Of course, there was no shortage of used trikes, either
This was the first time my bike or I had every been in a trailer. We were both a little scared, but the nice folks at Russellville untied, unloaded, loaded and tied which made life a whole lot easier for all of us.
I would be lying if I didn't admit it was a little hard to say goodbye to the "ol girl". She is a good bike and took real good care of both Melissa and I.
Is it any wonder that the new one looks so much like the old one
Melissa was responsible for a few pieces of chrome and some paint accents -- the "eyebrows"
I was so impressed....the new bike had already learned my name What will they think of next
Of course, a test ride was called for...Melissa made sure the "handicap" signs were in the picture.
My co-rider was especially happy with the "run, brake, turn" lights, she had added to the spoiler. (On the right are used Gold Wings)
Our salesman Jason Walbaum and Sales Manager "ROGER" did everything they could do to make this a pleasant, enjoyable and fun experience. We enjoyed working with and meeting all the people at Honda of Russellville.
Do you need a CBR? and no sales tax!!!
About an hour and one half north of Russellville in Bentonville is CRYSTAL BRIDGES. This is a brand new art gallery that was opened this year by Sam Walton's (Walmart) sister.
The museum is located on 160 acres of beautifully landscaped trails.
Located over a stream in a beautiful valley 4 stories below the entrance.
The grounds are accented with interesting sculptures and artistic pieces.
OF COURSE...a hog.... we are in ARKANSAS
I am not a big art person, but I found this museum interesting because, it is in Arkansas You can see it all in 1-2 hours or less. They special in American art. You can relate to many of the pictures. They are pictures of what you have read about or what your "grandpa" told you about. You can enjoy it even if you just find a quite place and sit down. It is beautiful and peaceful.
Crystal Bridges one more good thing about Arkansas. Put it on your list of places to ride to in Arkansas and, oh yes, did I forget to mention...IT IS FREE no admission, admission sponsored by Walmart.
I was wondering if you had got it yet, and if you tried to ride in the cold or took a trailer... I would have used the trailer given the temps.... I see you have a lot of the optional stuff already on it... It really looks nice and best of all is the big fat ZERO on the clock....
You made me laugh. No I didn't buy a trike
