haha, my wife and family don't very exited about my long disappearing ,too. but i got permission to disappear for 4 months. Maybe you should come to China.
D or F.
New Mexico/Colorado are on my list as well.
Can't go wrong with NW Arkansas. I loved it there. Make a trip up through Mountain Home, take the ferry across Bull Shoals Lake, spend a night or two in Eureka Springs and shoot up to Branson, MO.
I used to ride ALOT in NW Georgia when I lived in Marietta, and I got kind of tired of that scene. So a few years ago, on a whim, I packed up my 2005 Kawasaki KLR 650 (first bike I ever bought) and headed out that way...Spent a night im Memphis and partied on Beale St, a night in Branson, MO, a few nights in different small oklahoma towns, down to Orange Beach, AL and back to Marietta. Went down through Oklahoma and picked up a few miles of the original route 66, where the road was kinda broken up, and just big enough for one car at a time. It was awesome. Saw alot of sights, and definetly easy to do in a week.

Northwest Arkansas is beautiful.
i vote "F" spent a lot of time working out there and hope to go back. :newsmile036:
where ever you decide don't forget to bring back something special for the wife so you can get permission again next time.
here's a link to the thread I started on one of the KLR sites I belonged to
Road Trip to AL, MS, TN, AR, MO, OK and back.
Road Trip to AL, MS, TN, AR, MO, OK and back.
Well, leaving tomorrow morning on option F.
Monday - Newnan, GA (rendezvous with my buddy who will come with me) to Greenwood, MS via back roads. My oldest daughter is a teacher in Greenwood so I'll take her and some friends out for dinner.
Tuesday - Greenwood to Hot Springs, AR
Wednesday - Hot Springs to Eureka Springs via several recommended roads
Thursday - Eureka Springs to Tupelo, MS
Friday - Tupelo north on the Natchez Trace for a bit. Then over to eastern AL's Little River Canyon and then back roads home.
I've got a new camera so I'll try to take lots of pictures and post them when I get back.

Be safe, Doc. You're in for a real treat. Some great riding out that way. I'd love to take a trip out that way this summer...I'll have to wait till September though...it gets wayyyy to hot there in the summer. You are going at a good time of the year...although we are having a warm spell right now. Wear SUNSCREEN!
Hot Springs to Eureka Springs is gonna be a fun ride...going through the Ozark National Forest (ride the pig trail) is gorgeous.
Also, from Eureka Springs down through all those little towns halfway to Tupelo is also a great ride. Very rural and rustic.
