Been here in the deep south for six years...moved from San Diego (via Golden, MO) after 30 years of fun in the sun. LOVE it here, and thanks to Terry, have been introduced to a whole new experience. Looking forward to meeting y'all in the up coming months. SO ready for some good riding weather. See you in Eureka Springs (one of my favorite places in the world!) LET'S RIDE!!!

Does Toby hate you too? That little chit hated me.....

Don't anymore but used to have a cabin in Golden. When were you there? If around at the same time we had to have run in to each other. I was down toward the lake north of the post office.

Terry tells me you live in Joplin...I lived there for 5 yrs. before moving to Golden. Used to go camping/fishing at Roaring River every chance we had and fell in love with the area. The cabin was in a little area of homes..."something" Beach...can't remember the name of it, but it was near Twin Lakes Road. Lived there until March of 2006. Miss it so much. Great area, good people.

PS....Toby LOVES me (I feed him

)

Here's a pic of me this past Saturday on my first ride...ever!

Too cool. It's Emerald Beach. Just a bit farther north and up closer to the King River arm of the lake. Sold the place in 04-ish so we were there at the same time many times. Probably bumped elbows over at the Piney Creek store or eating at The Office.

It was Adrenalina and Nirvana...all wrapped into one! Terry is a very good driver (will be better once he can get his feet planted flat on the pavement) and I...well, he said I did just fine for a "motorcycle virgin."

No...it wasn't Emerald Beach. That area was huge. Ours was east of that with about 25 - 30 homes. The beach name was made up by someone and so it's not showing on the map. Would go to the little gas station/market on the corner of 86 and H, but had to do major shopping at Wally World in Berryville. Breezed into Eureka Springs every chance I got just for the heck of it.

She did fine...we rode out towards 29 Dreams (they've closed, BTW) so that I could get her used to some riding in pastoral areas, then through some curvy stuff on Copperhead Road. The first good twisty kind of took her breath away a bit, but she settled in and did fine. Now that I've got the J&M headsets in the Nolan's, things will be better for her. We did about 130 miles on backroads, a bit on the super slab, then back home. I wanted to give her a little taste of everything the first trip out. Like me, her least favorite thing was the interstate, but that was only about 10 miles or so. She dug it all though...

That's good to read TC. Seems that often the first hurdle for a new passenger is just not to be tense and to go with the flow. Sounds like she's on her way.

Still digging the new bike?

Really do like the new bike, Don...it's a different experience from the SEUC, but in a good way. Ergonomically, things seem to fit well, and I've got Legends on their way to solve the height problem. Even the seat seems to be really comfortable...at least right now....and the bars are in a good place. It's been a while since I rode a bagger, and I had forgotten that there is definitely a physical component to handling the big beast, but I'm loving it once again. Can't wait to rack up some real miles on her (I've named her Ruby). When the weather turns better (it's been generally really cold here this year), I've got a couple of 250-300 mile days planned for us, so Judi can get used to things in a gradual way.

After that first curve, she told me she just closed her eyes for a moment, relaxed, and went with the flow. I had gone over being a good passenger with her prior to the first ride, and she did everything right. After that, no problems the rest of the day. She's an adventuresome type, so no worries there. I'll just have to teach her how to pack

See if this rings a bell. If you were in Sweetwater it probably will. Remember this place? This would be the view from the road in front of the house. The same road that eventually wandered on back to the water treatment facility.

Wasn't Sweetwater. Our little neck O' the woods was named after the developer, I believe. I still have a friend there and I'll email her and have her refresh my feeble mind. We had only a hand full of full timers, and most of the owners were from Kansas. Nice home. Yours?

You did well. My house was built by them but unlike most of the others in the area I recognized his colors before the deal was done and rewrote some docs. So I never had to deal with him again and, though he didn't realize it, was outside the homeowner's collective. So he never got a dime out of me again. Though he tried....

Welcome to the Site, Mrs. TcnBham.

TC, When did that happen ? Gone for good ?

Yep...they've been struggling for the past couple of years. Anounced closing 2 years ago, but the local riders all chipped in and helped them get out of the bind, but it was only temporary. I'm not sure if it was totally a financial thing...that place was a lot of work for the husband/wife owners. Also, with Alabama having 9+% unemployment, a lot of people have lost their bikes, sold them, or just generally don't have the money to go hang out. Damn shame though...it was a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon, and they always had good food.

Hopefully, somebody will come along and buy the place when things turn around...
