as it says Oklahoma Group ride Talimena scenic drive.
Who wants to go this year?
It would be great to get alot of buells together for this and other rides in and around Oklahoma.
there are several of us OK Buellers wanting to ride the Talimena Scenic Drive, down in south east Oklahoma.
and maybe even some other good ride destinations in and around oklahoma.
see here for a good review of it . here on .motorcycleroads.com
Except from motorcycleroads.com;
The Talimena National Scenic Byway or, for short, Talimena Drive extends west to east along the ridgeline of the Winding Stair Mountain and Rich Mountain in southeastern Oklahoma. These are the highest point in elevation between the Appalachians and the Rockies. These fifty miles are filled with sharp curves and 13% grades extending from Talihina, Oklahoma on the west end to Mena, Arkansas on the west end. There are several vistas that overlook the valleys to the north and south as well as picnic grounds along the route as well. Some of the most breathtaking scenery in Oklahoma can be found along this drive.
The speed limit is SLOW which of course allows you to enjoy the scenery. Since the road generally only supports scenic traffic, the road conditions are less than perfect. Since you will be traveling well under the speed limit, you will probably not even notice an occasional pothole.
This is open to anyone that wants to go on a motorcycle(or car if the bike is in for repairs). post up here if you want to go and then we will figure out when will will do this this year .
You may post up any rides in Oklahoma and nearby in this thread too.
Dont forget about the ride with XB12Lt when he said he's probably gonna be riding into Oklahoma probably the last week in April. see here for his story and why he is riding throught OK. Keep an eye out for his thread on his details about when & where his route will take him on his trip.
