Sky Road

This road is one of the best I’ve ever ridden. On the border between Oklahoma and Arkansas, the OK 1 / AR 88 was really a treat. This picture shows the steep elevation changes and path along the ridgeline. I think the whole thing was about 45 miles, but it sure seemed farther. Like the much longer Blue Ridge, no trucks are allowed, so only cars and bikers take this out of the way route. Thanks to the off-season I pretty much had the whole thing to myself. The road itself is amazing and the views are outstanding. I stopped at almost every pull off to look at the valleys below on both sides.

Folding scooter

I took about 300 photos but there wasn’t time to upload them all. So I put this one up to show one, a cool scooter, and two, a glimpse of the amazing collection of motorcycles. This picture shows one part of the five packed floors of bikes. If you have any interest in motorcycles or vehicle design, then this museum is a must see.
