Ain't no reason to be askeered, I got kinfolk that live just up the road a piece from the Toad Suck Ferry, and they'll vouch for us. Actually, they built a bridge, so I think the ferry is long gone, but I believe they still have Toad Suck Days every summer. A good time fer all!  My better half went to school at UCA in Conway........I'm more than familiar |

I forgot Mrs. Brad was from those parts. I have cousins in Conway and Greenbrier. If I show up on their doorstep there's a better than 50/50 chance that they might actually recognize me.  |

I ran across this site from an ad on the Motorcycle Classics web site. No experience with Jeff Williams Productions Motorcycle Swap Meets, but they have recurring dates in Tulsa, OKC, and KC. Somebody might be searching for that next project, or be in need of that last piece of the puzzle, and want to check out one of their events. |

The VJMC folks are top notch. Don't forget to eat pancakes served up by these folks whilst at Barber.

I noticed the Guzzi rally date needs to be changed. The MGNOC National rally will be June 28 through July 1.
Also, for those not going to the HOAME Rally in KC, The Branson Motorcycle Rally is that same weekend. Tracy Davis has a vintage meet on Sat. June 2nd till 11:00 a.m. Anyone interested in riding to the vintage get together let me know. In the past he has drawn bikes like a Nimbus 4, flathead Harleys, Nortons, a flathead BMW etc. Who knows what will be there this time.

Tim-WT,
You mentioned an Iron Butt ride. A SaddleSore1000 has been on my bucket list for quite some time now; one route I've thought about involves circling the state of MO....or the Four Corners of Misery, you might say.
Starting from Springfield, take 60 or 160 out to Cairo, IL then go north up the River Road to Ft. Madison, 36 across the Iowa/MO border west to Omaha/Council Bluffs, thence down the KS/MO border to Ft Scott, then Pittsburg, Back to Springfield on 60. It's been sometime since I've looked up all the particulars but it's about 1100-ish miles give or take, offers some cool scenery and places I (and most of us) haven't gone, without getting more than about 300-odd miles away from home as a crow flies.
In my case it'll most likely be a "get up and go whenever I have a chance" type of thing - in other words, not too long after I replace the tire and get a few extra bucks in the kitty litter for grub and gas, on a Sunday or Monday sometime. Let me know if you got any ldeas, as well.
Tom

Anyone planing on going to the KC Vintage event next weekend? Looks like a "no-go" for me.  If I'm not working I need to stay close to Sgf. But I did run across this: origin.library.constantcontact.com/download/get/file/1107257094001-44/vintage_mc_meet.pdfSorry, but I couldn't just lift the PDF for some reason. It's a vintage bike event amongst all of the motorcycle shenanigans going on in Branson this weekend. If I'm in town, I might jump out early and check this out for a few hours. |
