Today's Lunch Ride

[rocker59]

Rode from Fayetteville through Eureka Springs and up to Roaring River State Park to meet a couple of friends today. Beautiful day for a ride! Derek had ridden up to Springfield yesterday to visit friends. Today John accompanied him back down to Roaring River where I met them for lunch at the lodge there.

The Green line shows my outbound route. The Yellow line shows my return route:

 

 

John and Derek both ride modified Triumph 955 Daytonas:

 

The view from the restaurant:

 

Yes, it rained on us today. This was the first time I've had the Nero Corsa out in the rain. Its starting to look like a proper Moto Guzzi:

 

After lunch, John headed back to Springfield. Derek and I headed for Eureka Springs where we stopped at a motorcycle-friendly bar/restaurant for awhile before heading back to Fayetteville.

 

I got a little frisky on AR-127 coming home. The Pirelli Diablo Corsas are working pretty well:

 

The road was clean, dry and deserted. I beveled my boot on a couple of tight right-handers!

 

 

The LeMans' fairing provided great protection from the rain and wet roads this afternoon. I still need to dial-in the Ohlins to suit me, but it sure is a Cadillac when compared to it's raucus older brother, the Sport 1100.

 

Another great day of riding here in The Hills! ;D
