NO, No, NO, :Flip:north west Arkansas and southwest Missouri do not have great roads!! Hwy 160 from Doniphan west isn't THAT good. Hwy 7 form Harrison AR to Hot Springs is much too twisty(it really is too congested) and Hwy 123 (the pig trail) is much too short to be any fun. If people knew...

i was stopped at an intersection parking lot this weekend. when a Suzuki SV 6saw me and stopped by. I hadn't taken off my helmet yet and he was excited to see someone else on a sport-bike, since there aren't too many around in the rural areas. As I took off my helmet,you could see the look on...
