When you leave Little Rock on Thursday A.M. which way you going?

Right now, We're thinking, stands up and twisting the throttle no later than 10ish. Straight up 65. One of my best buds in WPB grew up in AR and said 65

is gorgous and it's empty of traffic, all day!! Can't beat that!!

I think something got missed, 65 is a main highway, always traffic.

If you want twisty, take highway 16 west of Clinton AR, all the way over to 21 or 23 (take your pick). One of the best!

YES YES YES on HWY 16 to 21 or 23

NO NO NO to 65 Main artery/traffic/LEO"S

I live on HWY 16

Heber Guy See you guys on Friday

Now that I think about it. He said 65 was gorgous, the empty part was for the twisties around the area of the Hotel we will be staying in!

16, 21 or 23 look good! I'm flexible!! He did say 65 will be the fastest way to get to ES. I guess that makes sense now!! :lol:

I may be joining you. I am in Robbinsville NC, heading out to ride Deals Gap this morning. I will be heading from Nashville to Arkansas on Wednesday, and after several long days on the bike a stop in Little Rock just the right distance for Thursday riding. I will let you know for sure tomorrow. Hopefully, there is still some vacancies at the hotel.

You guys have a great and of course, safe ride.

See you tomorrow.

 

[Patriot]

thanx, will do

 

[Kirrilian]

Well unless y'all just like the interstate, it would be more fun to go up Hwy 21, then take Hwy 16 over to Hwy 23.

Been up that way many times, mucho better than I40 LOL

thanx for the heads up

we're tarred (I am from Dragon 4 day trip and now SFO and saving for okie's rides Fri /Sat

so, half interstate and half 23 is the ticket for moi/us

I'm a old rider and Brian is a sedate rider and that's my story...

gonna be up around 7am, out with bikes packing 8:30am and breakfast at Waffle House across the street 9am - KSU 10am (kickstands up)

I'm in room 312 which is 1st floor of the outside access wing, bldg behind the lobby main bldg

Miles (fjr mississippi), vic (majicmaker), and chris d are all here, so far.

yes, it's a light but steady rain in Little Rock starting at 8pm and predicted to be all over with by 4am

I don't like to be blinded and cooked by sunny clear skies anyway. Don't tell the mgr, but our two bikes are parked under the stairs in the hallway between the two parking lots, but pedestrians can easily zig zag between the bikes easily to pass by

Cheers,

Mike in Litroc from Nawlins'
