Looking to get there either Sunday/Monday and stay till Friday morning.

Call me crazy but I am planning to pack up Friday morning, ride down to my place in Frisco and refit with camping gear/clean clothes. Eat a good lunch then head out to RTB.
Thanks. I was thinking of getting there Sunday/Monday as well. I guess I better get moving on figuring out if I can make it or not.

Re: 2014 Super Tenere Arkansas Rally

Big shout out to Madstad Engineering in helping support the rally. It's a pretty busy time of year for businesses in "the industry", and we appreciate everyone's support! Stay tuned, as more details will be forthcoming on that front. ::008::

http://yamahasupertenererally.com/2014/supporting-partners

Also, for folks on the fence keeping an eye on the rally, or who have already signed up, post up here if you would be interested in leading some rides and I'll pin your forum name up on first post once registered.

These rally's are intended to be laid back and open to what YOU want to ride (read: no scheduled routes planned each day), but it's no fun aimlessly riding around by yourself with no bearing as to where or what you just rode. And, just the opposite where 20 bikes riding in the same group can lend itself to being bit too much as well.

I'll plan on posting up some of the obvious landmarks like the Oark Cafe, Turner Bend Store, etc.. on the website shortly. If you have any GPS routes you've personally vetted, I'd be more than happy to include them as well :)

We're still a ways out from the actual rally (duh), but it never hurts to get the hamster wheel spinning on the sorts of discussions ::26::


Hasta,
-K

Re: 2014 Super Tenere Arkansas Rally

Thanks, guys. I'll definitely look into the region rides and use the search feature a lot. I'm putting my wish list together for the add ons I'll need.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2014 Super Tenere Arkansas Rally

I so want to make this rally. Looking good but I would need to ride back 9 hours Friday early to load my Husky up with all it's glory and drive 4 hours North to make the Bucky Dual Sport Saturday morning. This event is a must and has close to 200 miles of off road splendor that is only accessible once a year. Most of the trails are on private property and the many land owners allow us access for this event. I will be sore Sunday but smiling ear to ear.

Re: 2014 Super Tenere Arkansas Rally

Been a whirlwind the past month for me, but got around to updating the first post since a month ago (yikes!). I'll update that as time allows, but for the official scoop, the website's the place to go.

My Brethern, TwoLukes is in!!! I'll start working on my Las Vegas friends to join me. If I have to ride it alone, I will, but it would be a lot more fun with Joneil and Eagle, Boondockers, Dan and the rest!

It's only about 1600 miles from Vegas - Heck, That's hardly a 2 day drive for me and Joneil ;-)
......
Hate to say it TwoLukes, I'm out. I'm still on my honeymoon.

Not the KOA, not sure where this is. The KOA in Ouray is very nice though. You will like it.

Hey JOneil, I hoped to tip another few with ya -- but hey, honeymooning's alright! (remember what they say in the ads - if it exceeds 4 hours contact your doctor!). Ouray was great -- Arkansas will be, too. See y'all.

TacoPapa! You live! Are you making this rally? Seriously? Ouray was a blast and it's killing me to be able to ride with you in Arkansas. Have a great time. Send pics and keep eye on TwoLukes for me. I worry about that boy.

Re: 2014 Super Tenere Arkansas Rally

Joneil, really sorry you'll miss it - we did some great rides together at Ouray; I'll keep an eye out for TwoLukes. You missed another good'un in March -- the Texas S10 Rally in Kerrville, with DALLARA, et al (where I also picked up the 2013 Rally decal from GUNNER -- see ya in October for the new decal, Steve). It was cold going from Colorado (the new heated grips sure helped), beautiful in Kerrville, & hot around Big Bend; lotsa wind coming back. Will ride Sturgis-SLC-Salt Flats in August, but plenty left for Arkansas in October. Seeya! --Mike
