J-luv sorry to hear about you son. I'm glad to hear nothing was broken.

That's awesome you met some pretty nice folks. I like "Brake fast" name. Pretty cool.

Enjoy the roads down there and I believe you play too the same beat as myself. I always enjoy meeting folks and hearing their stories.

Great times!

Had a great day. Was in a focused groove all day. Carved it up. Bike was superb. Was on top of the world. Hit almost all the yellow on this map.

One other thing... whose up for a ride to the dealership in kansas city? I need to get the recall on the fuel pump done. Figured if we planned it right we could grab a bite.

Good morning all! When are we gonna have a group ride down to AR? Leave early and have breakfast in Eureka Springs. Ride all day and grab some rooms. Ride Sun morning and get home Sun evening. I’m hoping for an early warm and dry March weekend. Chime in if interested. Just weeks away.

Not sure I could pull something off in March (work schedule/spring house stuff) but cabin fever is definitely settling in. Looking forward to a lunch get together at some point, meet everyone and get some riding in.

Your group ride would be KC to AR via Juno AK!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Let me state how that is NOT in the riding budget...but more power to the guys that can!

I’m targeting the weekend of Mar 25th. The forecast may become a factor. Not even looking at that for now! I’m just getting some cabin fever. Pencil it in on your planners. Will be in Eureka with the wife soon without the bike. That is not going to soothe the desire to twist a throttle. It’s a cold icy morning here today….

Good morning all. Forecast currently looks good enough to plan to ride down early Sat morning and have breakfast, maybe at Oscar’s, and then ride the best roads south and east of Eureka Springs. Make a day of it. Maybe stay somewhere Sat night or push it on home. Undecided. My son will be riding pillion with me. Will show him a good time whether or not anyone else is able to join. But throwing it out there to get a decent spring ride in to start the season. Lemme know if anyone from anywhere is interested.

I hope some will be able to join you J-luv. I will not be one of them, sadly.

But, if you or anyone else would like to plan on being in Eureka Springs, Wednesday May 10th to Sunday May 14th. I'll be down there if anyone wants to meet up. We are staying at Edelweiss Inn.

I hope everyone is doing well. It's a blazing 34 degrees in Topeka. I have to go put a cv axle in a honda that is in a parking lot today. Of all the years working on vehicles I've never seen a knuckle come apart at the wheel side. The shaft was just hanging.

Take care.

@Stude I’ll pencil in the May dates just in case I can make it down.
And yikes on the cold car work today. Good luck. It looks so nice outside! Then I step out and the cold hits quick. I was up early doing a lil frost seeding on a food plot.
Hope to cross paths one day soon.

We have been super busy around here. We have started a Lavender Farm. It's taken 3 years to get going. Last year we planted 500 plants and we are planning to do another 500. We are still finalizing plans to build a 40x80 shop. Last November I bought a 1975 Cushman Truckster. It'll be for the farm. I'm working to get the motor and mechanically sound. Then we will paint it. Here's a few pictures.

If your ever itching for a ride come on over to Topeka. I'll treat you to lunch.

We had a cushman bed laying around the barn and then in the ditch dump for decades. Dad was going to turn it into a yard trailer. A project he never got around to. I may make the trip over and take you up on lunch. I have yet to visit the Evel Kneivel museum!

I haven't been to the Evil Kneivel museum, either. Maybe we can make that a ride this year for the members close by. It's leaving and moving to LasVegas sometime.

Then I definitely have to get there before it goes! I did not know that.

It would depend on the day (I work a goofy work schedule), but I'd definitely be interested in seeing that museum before it moves.
