How about a Fall rally. Fall is a really beautiful time in Arkansas. I would look at September or mid October if we go to fall. The trees will not be in full fall color but the rain should have not moved in by that time and the weather is usually nice. I would also suggest 1st part to middle of June if we do it in Spring.

August is really hot in Arkasnas usually in the high 90s and low 100s.
Lots of DRY air however, we should not have a rain problem.

Nothing available in June?

Whenever you have it, we'll be there. If at all possible.
Looking forward to seeing y'all next week.

How about August 19 thru 23. There might be a Bluegrass festival and a Volkswagon rally that weekend. But we won't be to crowded. Bryan Sumpter

I have to agree with Clay. It's a full two day ride for me to get there.

Hey folks, a question for the possible T rally next year. Weekdays or weekends or both? Bryan Sumpter

Is that what you call that "stuff" that Dan spews?? Banter... interesting concept. And all this time I thought a banter was a chicken. I guess I was right.

Hi Dan.

Hi Clay. Sure wish I could have made the ES trip this year. I really enjoyed getting to meet you and April. I have been looking forward to our next meeting since our last. Please pass along a howdy from the Putz.

As for dates, I don't have a preference. I'll ride in the rain. I...

Clay....it reads like the few of you that were at Eureka Springs this year did manage to have a good time. Did you get to see Rod (ezrod) and Larry? It's too bad that you missed hooking up with Scott. How did that happen?

I'm excited at the prospect that the next event might be scheduled at a different time of the year. Of course trying to schedule anything with a large number of people in mind is a daunting experience. But my feelings are that if you can improve on the...

Hi Guys, I am sorry that I have not been able to get in here as much as I would like to but here I am LOL. I know that we did not have a lot of riders show up for the rally but I think it turned out great. Speaking of great, I hate that we missed you Scott becuase we had some great riding. Someone said that you were camped somewhere close but I missed Ya.

We had a great ride Saturday. We started the day with Dan and Marsha and April and I going down to war eagle for breakfast. We...

Hey guys,
The rally was a disapointment this year. I'm sure the economy and weather had a impact on travelers. Probably the weather more so than gas prices. Hey 40 to 45 miles to the gallon ain't bad.

The news of this years event is sad, but not totally unexpected. The problem of course is the time of year that this event falls on. I completely understand why the Sumpter's schedule the event for this time of year, but I'm afraid that if the HSATF forum membership want to experience a successful event it will have to be another time of year. But then things get busy and more expensive and requires a bit more planning.

Not much to share. I know that I put about 1,000 miles on the bike in the Ozarks and totally enjoyed my visit to ES. Rod and Larry showed up for a couple days (one night). I kept looking for Tourers on the streets, but failing that, just went riding. The weather was poor, the economy has definetly hurt the area, the cost of gas, and recent flooding in the area all added up to a non-event. Larry took a few pictures.

I have not heard much about Eureka Springs this time. How did it go, who showed up, pictures? Did I miss something?

Hello Putz....how are you my friend? I have been trying to send you an email and they keep coming back to me as not deliverable. I have sent you phone text messages and I don't know if your getting them because I have not heard back from you. Im coming to Detroit on June 5-6-7 and thought that you and I could get together. Please send me an email so that I can reply and we can see if we can get together.

It looks like the kids did not waste anytime starting a family. You're...

I have noticed that my favorite activity for April has been announced on several of the motorcycle site. (Motorcycle Events.Com, Motorcycle Monster. Com, and Bike America Online. Com). So, I guess I won't be "jumping the gun" to post it here.
Hosted by Bryan and Cindy Sumpter, Edelweiss Inn, Eureka Springs, Arkansas. April 22 thru 26. I'm sure Bryan will jump in here with all the particulars as soon as he get the place up and running from the winter hibernation period....
