******************** Arkansas - Oklahoma - Kansas MSTA ERC
Class this Spring
Currently, we have eight members who have
expressed interest in attending an ERC Class on April 29, 2006. We plan to have the class on Saturday and do
a lunch ride on Sunday. Some of us will
be utilizing our various club affiliations to pay the fee registration, which is a special MSTA price of $65. The class will be conducted in Hot
Springs. Please contact Robert Bashaw
870-460-9570 or Artravlr@Seark.Net
to be registered. The course takes five to seven hours to
complete. Some insurance companies
offer discounts for course completion and MSTA membership is
not required.

Interesting fact that wind
noise while riding at 65mph (which so few of us do!) generates the same amount
of noise as operating a chainsaw. http://www.freehearingtest.com/hia_motorcyclefacts.shtml

2006 Lunch Ride Schedule
March 25th Washington State Park. If you have not been to the old town of Washington near Hope,
Arkansas, you should try to spend the day. The whole town is a historical
landmark and State Park. It is a very nice place to visit.
April 1st DeValls Bluff, Eat at Craig's BBQ and then across the street to the Family Pie
Shop. GQ Magazine rated these two spots as # 4 in the world to eat. Be prepared
to take a pie home. Bill Wing made this suggestion.
May 13th Oark General Store and cafe in Oark. The Oark General Store and Cafe is the oldest
run General Store in the State. Great roads to get there and very nice people
running the place. One of my favorite spots to ride to. Mario Caruso made this
suggestion
June 10th Tommy's Famous Pizza and Ribs in Mt. View. Robert Bashaw suggestion this one.
July 22nd LaMerienda in Danville, AR. Mario Caruso suggested this restaurant. Mario has taken over 60
people there and everyone has enjoyed the experience.
August 19th at Gaston's in Lakeview, AR. Dottie Powers suggested Gaston's Fishing Resort.
Always a favorite lunch stop with its open grass landing strip.
September 23rd Kelts on the square in
Altus, AR. This was all so one of Dottie's
picks. You can't go wrong in Altus.
November 11th Shirley's Outback
Restaurant and Convenience Store on the north
side of Mt. Magazine. This is a favorite biker spot. You can find allot of
bikes there any weekend.
