Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Ouachita Rally Updated Thread- Sep 7, 8, 9

I just wanted to start a fresh thread, because there was some confusion as to where everyone was meeting. Originally we were staying at Queen Wilhelmina Lodge, but due to a lack of rooms, we moved the gathering to Y City. TMax found the lodge for us. His original quote is copied below.

"Ok to bring everyone up to speed, Nathen and I have spoken to each other and have decided to make "Y" city Mountain Inn the offical meeting spot for Friday Sept. 7 & Sat. Sept.8 Link: http://www.ycitymountaininn.com/index.html
Please make your own arrangements by calling 479-577-2489 and tell them that you are with the Bonnevilleamerica.com triumph riders for the group rate of $40.00 per night. The only thing he said he could not garranty is the avilability of smoking vs. non smoking rooms but had plenty of rooms available at this time. We are going to have a blast and as mentioned earlier Nathen and I will be there rain or shine so come join us for some mountain riding and beautiful scenery!"

For those that haven't seen it yet, this is the NEW IMPROVED Ouachita Rally Updated Thread! Tmax, what does our head count look like now? Remember folks, this may be the only opportunity you will ever have to meet me!

Levi, Just the oportunity to meet you alone is reason enough to drop whatever your doing and make reservations! The masses should be flocking to Y city creating caos that requires national media coverage! but for some reason only 9 cool faces are sighed up

When you guy's make your reservations I'll move you to the confirmed list and get one of these

Well, I'm looking forward to the trip even more now. I just climbed aboard my bike for the first time in three long weeks, and I need more of it. The rain, work and baby's nursery have taken up pretty much every minute of the past month! 11 Days till the baby comes, and then 60 or so days till Arkansas! This will turn out ot be one heck of a summer!

Just confirmed my camping spot ( tent, camp fire, cigar, motorcycle, some twisty roads ) ........

What's one of your top brand Steak sauces? Come on Yota, you know this.

Ketchup? I don't get it I use Ketchup on 57 different kind of foods!

#57...Alabama steak sauce!

Just curious, how far from Ft Smith, Havana, Belleville or Mt Magazine is this place? I have Family in Havana and Belleville.

We will be just south of Mount Magazine. That might even be a Saturday ride destination.

Robert, Havana is the town that we ride into and head north up to Mt. Magazine. Go to www.mapblast.com and scroll into Havana, east north east of Y city, when you view Havana you can see the mountain road to the top of Arkansas. It's a way fun ride up there and back down!

I recieved PMs from Skillet and Yota today. Skillet said he was in and Yota said it looked like he was going as well!

What happens in Arkansas stays in Arkansas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me get this right! Your say'in Yota, Charlie, and Levi at the same rally? Do we need to start a Bail fund?

I love the smell of KY Jelly in the morning.

............

Larkfarms.....Those cities/towns are all considered local,
Mt. Magazine and Fort Smith are about 40 minutes away from Y-City and Havana & Belleville are just East of Mt. Magazine a few miles.......Y-City is just South of Waldron on US-71....

tmax...there is a great restaurant on top of Mt. Magazine..and for those that like lots-o-twisties...there is Hwy-23 up to Eureka Spring and back down old,scenic US 71 or US 59 with a jog back across the Talimena Drive to camp !.......great stake houses in FSM,,,Doe's Eat Place and the Red Barn....and of course...mucho Mexican and Chinease/Vietnamese food.....a virtual culanary feast ...if one chose to call it that ? Oh yes, and BBQ can't forget the BBQ (wow, all this food talk is making me sound like my Harley & Goldwing friends)....

banjo music is the sweetest!

1300 miles is a long way and I'm starting a new job mid August. 24 years and I pick now to start over. I have an uncle in Havana and Belleville is my mothers hometown, which she will be in on Sept 15 for her 55 year reunion. I feel bad about missing this one, I have alot of memories there. Thats where my grandfather tought me to shoot, I killed a nine foot diamond back up near Spring Lake, which my grandfather helped build the dam there. Ah it would be nice to go back, but I can't right now, however if you make this an annual event hmmmmm.

A smoke free Yota is coming?? Hide the whisky, women and and small children

---

dont you mean hide the food?

You can have the food. I'm on a diet....

Ummm, buddy...I only meant that I would take it away so I could eat it. But I'll still be your good friend!

mmmmmmmm. roadkill!

Nathen is good at hitting squirrels, so he'll keep us all fed.

anyone want to split a room with me?

That squirell commited suicide. He wanted to die!

Well I will be riding through Y-City in 2 weeks,looks like Im headed down 7 again,just wanted to warm up the road before September..

Donny, have you even taken 23 North ? great road and Eureka Springs is at the end.....much more exciting than hwy 7 in my opin. also Hwy 59 both in Ar & Ok (they run parallel) is pretty scenic...not like Hwy 23 and Talamena Byway though...
I had a business meeting Saturday in springdale and took the long way - 23 to huntville then across on 412.. it was a nice 130 mile ride..then the screamer home to muldrow.. .I-540

Yeah we always go to Huntsville up to Eureka on 23 great road! Thats our first leg then after Eureka its always on to Harrison then down 7 to Hot Springs,then to the Quachita mountains on to Talihina and then home....great roads in Arkansas!

come on guys...I need a bed buddy. I dont want to get all lonely.

I'm already bunking with Wyrm. I'm gonna have to sleep with one eye open as it is!

Well its either going to be a bike trip or a float trip down the Buffalo,just gotta see how the plans come out.
Honestly a good swim sounds pretty good...

I could sleep in the middle

I think I reserved just one queen bed. there are two cabins they put aside for us, I don't think it should be a problem. You can stay in my room Yota, but we're not sharing a bed. I'm left handed but not THAT kind of left handed. I'll bring an extra sleeping bag or maybe the place can lend us a rollaway bed.
