Steve & Chris are our neighbors here in the RV park and they ride an 08 CVO Ultra Classic.....a very clean one, I might add.  Babe had to work this morning, so she wasn't able to go.  Steve knows the area so he led and we rode two lane back roads all the way out and a different route back....but all two lane roads.

A view of the RV park from top of one of the bridges.......



Steve and Chris are also full timers (retired, living full time in their RV) and they have already traveled all over the country and down in to Mexico each winter....

Another day of great roads, beautiful scenery and good company.....




After 20-25 miles we came up to a stop at a T intersection and I see an old flathead 80 Indian go by.  We followed this guy for 10 or 15 miles before he finally pulled over.  We stopped and I asked if I could take some pics.  Really nice couple and he shared a few stories about riding this bike in other states...

We finally arrived in Hot Springs, Ark. and it's time to eat.......Fat Jacks is do-able!




A nice little town and it has a lot of history.  I mean history long before Bill Clinton grew up here.

We walked back to the bikes and an 09 CVO Road Glide came rolling in.  We met the owner, Ryan Bartholomew from Texas.  This is the cleanest 09 SERG that I've seen since 09.  Ryan told me it has 5k miles on it and that he also has the yellow and black 09 SERG....a true matching pair.  He didn't know about this forum so I gave him one of the business cards.



Ryan's bike is a flawless example of an 09 SERG....

And back to our ride.....headed back to Little Rock, the back way....









And we arrive back home.  Steve and Chris have a beautiful coach also, along with the trailer (his man cave) for his bike and his jeep.....living life large....



Thanks a bunch Steve and Chris for showing me around your back yard.  It was a great day in the saddle and a very nice ride.  I look forward to our next ride together!

Thanks for the pics JC. I enjoy others getting to see our backyard. Lots of back roads in that area that you can ride for a long time and never see another vehicle on the road. We were down there 2 weeks ago during the rally and camped in a US Forestry Service park about 15 miles outside of town. Any chance you made it by Nimrod Dam ?

No, we haven't made it up that way.  Planned another ride for tomorrow but 40% of rain.  They said 10% chance tonight and it was raining when we came out of the restaurant.  But Wed. & Thur. look to be promising and in the mid 80s.  At least when it gets hot here, there's still plenty of shade to ride in.

We're probably going to head up to Heber Springs this weekend.  We'll be up there for a couple of weeks.  We had several people tell us to ride on up to a hippy town called Eureka Springs.  LOL   That's where they had the MITM GTG a few weeks back......damn hippys!  :P

Our neighbors have asked us to go to Mexico for the winter with them.  They go down and park at an RV resort on the Sea of Cortez every winter.  Kickin that around....  :nixweiss:  He has a 24' enclosed trailer that he pulls behind his coach so he brings all the toys (his CVO, the jeep, etc.).
