My cousin and I are going to take a ride this Wednesday and Thursday. We are going to ride up around the Fayettville area and maybe up towards Eureka Springs area.
We will leave Searcy and head towards Eureka and wind back towards F-ville where we will spend Wed night and then ride some Thursday and head back to Searcy.
Any of you locals know any great places to ride, stop or visit along the way.
THanks for the advice

Well we had a great ride THursday. Left Searcy and went up towards Eureka Srings and took the Pig Trail back to Fayetteville. Had a nice meal on Dickson street and went to the hotel. All was great.
Next morning got up and ready to leave and buddies bike would not start. He has a 07 V-Star 1100. Thought he was out of gas and it seems when they run out you have to change plugs. So we did all that and still no luck.
Long story short he had the dealer haul it in and that sucker had a ton of water in the gas tank. We filled up at the same time at the same places and I had no problems at all, they even checked it for free for me and added a additive to dry it out just in case. Cost him $113 and cost us a whole day of riding.
I had to be back Friday night so we left Fayetteville about 6PM with a 3-4 hour ride ahead of us. Once dark fell we made stops about every hour for 10 minutes or so and fuel. We got back to Searcy about 1130 pm Friday night. The weather was perfect for a late night ride and it was great. We even took some side roads here and there once we got closer to home and really enjoyed it.
Cruzn I will save the info you sent me and we plan to try it again sometime and hit more of those roads.
Ya'll really do have some great riding up there

You might try to come back during Bikes, Blues, and BBQ.
We always have a good time that week. Lots of vendors and some good music. But you really have to search for a hotel because they fill up quick.
