In Eureka Springs the tornado sirens did not wake us at 1:00 AM Monday but the high wind and hard driving rain did.
I jumped out and removed the bike covers before the bikes blew over. Bike covers make great sails.
The wind was in the right direction so I also took them off the centerstand.

During the storm we could not see the limb laying out there.
Not sure if it was there when I ran out. It was too hard to see and hear.

When I can see how neatly you can pack without needing an ugly back-box or roll bag, I really wish my wife was a rider and not only a pillion.
The bikes look great - iconic Lupin�s !!

When moving from place to place we use the 30 liter BMW soft rack bag.
I like it because the bag itself weighs very little and does not hang beyond the rack like a lot of top boxes do.
On my bike I also have a small 10 liter bag on the rear seat for tools and misc. items I rarely need to get at.
We rode 2 up for 10 years before Debbie got her own bike in 1988 so were used to not taking much.
With 2 bikes we feel like we have all kinds of room.

I�ve stopped at that rest area on 74 with a couple different bikes. What a great area to ride. Thanks for the pictures!

You probably rode more in Arkansas last week than I did and I live here. It's been pretty nice weather to ride and I've been working. I hope winter doesn't show up to quickly...it seems like it just cooled off.

You live in a great area for riding.
Unless you're near Bentonville and Fayettevilla you usually have the roads to yourself.
It's a shame you lost your dealer in Bentonville.

We usually meet a group and day trip out of Jasper.
This year quite a few guys brought both a street bike and small thumper offroad bike.

I am blessed with wonderful and empty roads. I live south of Jasper in Russellville and have good riding to the north and to the south of me. I hope to make it to Eureka Springs in May if you guys decide to go back next year.

I was in those areas in May and June but I was on my ninja 1000, I'll be looking forward to going there on my new RS.

@darrell organized a rally in Eureka Springs a couple years ago that we attended.
For 2020 he's planning on another in Gunnison Co. in September.

You're welcome to join the group in Jasper next October. This started out as a mostly K1200RS rally back in 2006.
Now it's a little bit of all models, on road and off road.
