is there like a Bike run too?  If so what direction?  If your loop goes west some it might cut some of my travel time if I met up with some of you at the furtherst point in the westward travel in that run.  hmmmmm.

That's OK, it's 10 hours for 4-5 of us;
a good 13 hours for 1 from Central Nebraska
and 4 hours for 3 more from KC;
If Ken comes from NH..... that's 25 hours.
Randy has to trailer from 3 hours away..... Adult beverage runner!

Leave at 8:00am and arrive at 3:00pm so you can have Fri night dinner
with us. Better let us know you are coming....

Bike Run?.... we ain't no Hog chapter... the roads around Jasper are
Tiger Heaven. Look hard.... you may see your license plate in front of you!

I was a little thrown by this last year too.  It was my first group motorcycle thing and I didn't know what to expect.  I was used to hearing about people riding and leaving in some mass group and riding a set route.

But the Jasper area has too many great roads to do that.

What we did last year was ride in, and check into our hotel.  Met at the HUB dinner for dinner and ran into several Tiger rides.  The next morning well all road into the Cliff House for Breakfast at about 8:30 if memory servers.  And from there we asked around till we found some folks that had a planned route we liked and they didn't mind a couple newer riders extra.

We had a good time.

I sold my 06 Tiger last year, always wondering why I did that.  Hmmm.  

Been to Ark twice lately ths summer, and both times spent some time south of Harrison, south of the Buffalo River, riding my WR250R on backroads/gravel.  If you find yourself heading that way, look up a little country store at the corner of hwy 123 & 16.

Young girl owns it, makes a bunch of scratch made cin rolls, sticky buns, etc.  I think the area is called Sand Gap.  We came in from the east on hw16, very little cage traffic.  Highly recommended. (all pavement).

And of course everyone knows about the Oark cafe. rate 9.5

As of Sunday   Aug 22 we have 11 confirmed to go to Jasper.

All Tigers except 2.

[brad1098]

Definitely IN.

Been to Jasper area twice.  Still havent riden all the great rides.  Time for Push Mtn. this year.  And a camera  :oops: .  That one lane bridge we went over was unreal.  

Hub is full eh?  Well I guess it is Shady Oaks for me. Unless anybody wants to go in on a chalet?

Cant wait to see all you jokers again this year.  :lol:

[EvilBetty]

We're still trying to get situated to start planning.  My guess is that we'll be looking at a motel in Harrison.
