There is a pretty good size airport in Bentonville. (Walmart )
I know you can rent a bike at Pig Trail HD in Rodgers AR. Both are about an hour away from Eureka Springs.
The Pig Trail is actually a loop named for a great scenic motorcycle route

I put down a yes, but I am a solid maybe, as I already have a trip planned for the second week in June, so I would be pulling for a September (fall) date I think I can make it work, as it is such a good motorcycling area, and am only 5 to 6 hours away.

Yes it is! That will have to be on the dance card if this deal happens!

Looks like a 17 hour ride for me if I avoid interstates. I'll decide in the spring, sounds like a fun ride if I can stretch my leash that far!

No cigars for me! It's not a dry county is it?

I'm in for a conditional 'yes'. I plan to be retiring in the spring, but I'm going to have to see how my schedule pans out. I'd originally planned to move my CB up to Central Idaho in mid-May for the summer riding season. I'll have to figure out a new plan for that.

With the rally in AR, that cuts about 800 miles off the distance I thought I'd have to ride if it were held near last year's rally. Google says about 18 hrs. of riding time if I take the slab. That's certainly doable.

No it is not. Lots of pubs as well to grab a cold one.

You could also look into flying to Kansas City or Oklahoma City and renting a bike.

I am working on a "Rally List" thread like the one set up for the Bland Rally. I am going to base the first version of the list on the yes responses in this survey. Again, it's not a formal RSVP, but responding to this poll would be helpful to me. Thanks!

Add me and Yoga Warrior as 90% there or add a maybe/sorta/kinda spot in the poll

I live 35 miles from Eureka in Rogers Arkansas. You might try flying into Northwest Arkansas regional airport. The airport code for it is XNA.
I know Pigtrail Harley Davidson rents bikes, there might be others.
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
