So, Alla y'all who aren't from round here may not know the best kept secret is how good the rides are here in SouthWest Missouri. Heck, any of South Missouri. But, I'm mostly familliar with the 2 Southern and Western most counties of Newton and McDonald. This past weekend was Magnificent riding weather. Mostly sunny, temps in the 76 range, and leaves are changing.
So, I, my Wife and 2 other couples take off for the twisty hills of "Mac" county about 10:00 AM,and are having a great time, we cruised thru Noel Mo. and took Hy.90 back over to Jane, then someone ask if anybody was hungry. We're all, "Yeah lets eat somewhere. So we turned south and in no time we were pulling into a "Chillies" in Rogers Ark. after chowing down and kicking back for a little while, we start back north on some other equally Divine secondary Ark. roads till we're back in McDonald county and at the intersection of 90 and County road "D" there is a popular stopping place called Sim's Grocery.
Since Hy.90 is such a popular ride, sought out by cruisers, sportbike riders, and even Bicyclist too, as we were kickin back at the store looking at ,I KID YOU NOT, a 1050 lb. Pumpkin on the porch on display, laying on a wood pallet, these 4 or 5 Bicyclist ride up and dismount and prepare to relax after a morning of hill climbing, and curvy road cycling, My friend says to me,..."pssst. See that silver bike that one guys riding?" "That's an $8000. bike" :cool:
I'm like, :eek: "No Freakin' Way" He says, "Oh yeah!"
Man,...I had no idea you could spend that much on a bike that didn't have a motor. :o :p :D
Oh well, I spent more on my ride than that, and they probably thought I was crazy too. :rolleyes:
Whatever you're riding, ...Ride safe!
