eureka springs is loaded with motels. and most of them are close to the edelweiss. there is one right next to it but can't remember the name. punch in motels in eureka springs, ar. on your computor and a bunch of them should come up. should be some one on here will come forward to help. keep trying the edelweiss in case there is a cancellation. bill

anyone coming to the eureka springs meet that would like to bring a prize to give away the night of the drawing is welcome to, this is not mandatory. we are going to have a drawing for the ladies and the men separately. so don't forget something for the ladies. i know some have already told me they are bringing some neat stuff, and linda and me did a little shopping too. we are also going to have a 50/50 drawing for st. jude and the procedes for that will go to squidleys tattoo fund. we are expecting a big crowd and going to do some heavy duty riding, eating, and evening partying on the big deck overlooking the woods behind the edelweiss inn. linda and i will be there tuesday around noon. to greet the early arrivals. for those of you that haven't been to the edelweiss it has a restaurant in front of it on the parking lot so you may have a hard time finding the driveway. don't forget to bring helmets, we may ride into missouri and they have a helmet law. have a safe trip and we'll see you there. bill and linda

michael, you should have stayed with it a little longer. it does give it a lighter feel , this is good. thats the way a bike is supposed to feel. most good handling bikes have a light feel. it took me awhile to get used to the feel. that was the first thing i noticed when i put one on mine. after i rode about a thousand miles there was no turning back for me. hang on to that tire. you may want to give it another try. really an improvement in the twisties. more flickability. bill

glad you got through the storm okay. hope to see you at eureka springs. bill

the venture royale was way ahead of it's time. in fact it's almost in time right now. the 2nd gen is a fine looking and running machine. i loved my rstd, but it was just two top heavy and i was getting closer to dropping it at low speed every time i rode it. i bought the goldwing on an impulse. never rode one, but sat on one and could flat foot it and bend my knees. probably not a better looking touring bike out there than a second gen decked out right. looks like a motorcycle should with the ultra caddy ride. my wing took getting used to, mostly the foot pegs. i put highway boards on it and use them very little anymore. the front forks are the wings big flaw, a little rough on washboards .the racetech gold valve and springs will take care of that. actually the average rider would'nt notice anything amiss there. as far as handling it is excellent for a bike this big. i drag the highway boards without trying. don't think it will corner any faster than my rstd do to clearance , but it does'nt wallow like my rstd did. power wise lots of cars have the same size motor. any way you look at it it has over 500cc's on the ventures and a power band as flat as a pancake from off idle to redline. never any drive line snatch no matter how slow the engine is turning. it pulls hard from idle on up with turbine smoothness. you just can't flaw to much on the 1800 wings. honda got it almost perfect. when i want to get the good old motorcycle look and feel i ride my vstar 1300. i love both bikes equally for what they are, and meant to be. i saw wingman and swifty bash one off at vogel. la pryor and i were racing right behind them don't know who won as they were long gone. i asked wingman how fast he was going and he said he peaked out at 135. have to ask one of them who won. they are all great bikes. it's all in what works best for you. bill

gary, we are so sorry to here this bad news. really don't know what to say. linda and i will send some prayers for you and your family. bill

only big news this year is the new max. guess you guys are going to have to wait another year or two for the new venture, that is the totally new venture. you won't even recognize it. don't expect any venture changes this year.
-
i'm inclined to agree. anyone want to try my wing on for size. i'm ready anytime. dead stop or top end. i'll be in eureka springs in 2 weeks. bill:cool10:

common sense is not dead, very few people are born with it. i think the rate now is about 10%.
