ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS REALLY COOL THIS MORNING, SO WE DELAYED OUR DEPARTURE UNTIL IT WARMED UP A LITTLE.
WE RODE ABOUT 25 MILES AND HAD BREAKFAST, AND LET IT WARM UP EVEN MORE. WE ARE THE THREE STOOGES, BUT WE'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WE DON'T LIKE THE COLD.
AFTER BREAKFAST WE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS RIDING THE TWISTIES OF ARKANSAS, SOME OF THE BEST IN THE U.S.
WE STOPPED AT THE OZONE BURGER BARN FOR LUNCH, A UNIQUE LITTLE HAMBURGER STAND IN THE ARKANSAS WOODS. THEY CLAIM THEIR BURGERS ARE A 3 NAPKIN BURGER, AND THEY ARE PRETTY MESSY, BUT VERY GOOD. EVEN THE MILK SHAKES ARE GOOD, AS REFERENCED BY THE CAT ENJOYING THE SHAKE THROUGH THE STRAW.
IT WAS HERE THAT SOMEONE STOLE MY HANDLEBARS OFF MY KLR. WHEN WE WERE READY TO LEAVE, I SUDDENLY REALIZED THEY WERE GONE.
COULD THE GUILTY PARTY BE LARRY??
AFTER THREATENING BOTH OF THEM, THE BARS MYSTICALLY REAPPEARED, AND WE WERE ONCE AGAIN READY TO LEAVE. BUT.......I HATE HAVING TO KICK START THESE KLR'S, ESPECIALLY WITH A BUM LEG. WHY DID KAWASAKI PUT THE KICK STARTER SO HIGH??
WE FINALLY MADE IT TO RUSSELVILLE ARKANSAS FOR THE NIGHT, WHERE CURLY'S MOTORCYCLE SEEMED TO SHRINK ALONGSIDE THE REAL MAN'S BIKE. COME TO THINK OF IT, IT LOOKS LIKE CURLY HAS SHRUNK TOO.
TOMORROW WE'RE HEADED FOR SMACKOVER, ARKANSAS. WHAT A NAME FOR A TOWN!!!! WHEN WE LEFT EUREKA SPRINGS THIS MORNING WE WERE 300 MILES FROM SMACKOVER. WE RODE 250 MILES TODAY, AND WE'RE STILL 200 MILES AWAY. HOW CAN YOU RIDE 250 MILES AND ONLY COVER 100 MILES? THE MYSTERY BAFFLES ME!!
STAY TUNED FOR THE STOOGES WEDNESDAY'S ADVENTURES.
