Shake Down Ride
Rode the R100R yesterday on a shake down run. I pretty much rode it all winter, but it needs a little freshening up/tune up. The ride was a pretty boring 80 miler around the county. Flat boring farmland. Still, riding that bike was a total blast. Riding along, saw oil bubbling up from the fork seal. Time to do the deal.
From a distance, looks pretty good.

MOA National
I’m kinda starting to plan my attendance to the National. Gotta get my R100R over to my tech for a tune up. Need to get my camping gear out for a check out. Lebanon, was my last one to attend. Planning my ride over. It’s been some time since I have ridden any distance, and camped out off a motorcycle. I’m a little apprehensive. I’ll be 70 in a little over a year. My current plan is a solo ride. I’m close enough; most likely I’ll be sorta riding with other rally attendee’s; heading to Springfield. This has been my experience riding to previous nationals.

Highway 14
Pick up Highway 14 at Mark Tree/Payneway and head west then northwest. Pass my hometown of Batesville, Ar. on the way. This is where the ride starts to get interesting. I’ve been over all these hiways and byways numerous times for many years. It’s been some time, so it’s kinda exciting.

GS Riders and Riders Who Ride Like GS Riders
If Ur riding 14 and want to get a little GS riding and camping on the way going/coming; a little ride off 14 down to Springcreek Campground is in order. It’s the site of the old Wilderness Rally. South side of Buffalo River between Harriett and Evening Star. Cool little ride down to the river. Done it many times on my street bikes. It does kinda scare some street riders. They have permanent portipotty’s on site.

Back in the saddle again
7 running N and S between 16 and 14 is good too. Like you said anything between is good riding. We stayed in Harrison for a 4 day weekend years ago and loved riding in the area.
7 Great road and too Much Traffic
Yes, 7 is great; the problem is it’s to well known. All the big motor homes and motor coaches use it. Ur stuck riding between these behemoths. Half the people driving them are totally incompetent. That includes them diving the little 4 wheeler cars their pulling.
