Day #1
I quietly "Thumped" out of the Sunflower State early Tuesday morning, specifically Hutchinson. (Thumperville) It was quite cool, with the 40* temp making my heated jacket feel really good. It was a beautiful day to ride, with light winds and warming temps.
I arrived in Batesville Arkansas about 4:30 this afternoon, after riding just over 500 miles. Arkansas highway 14 is a scenic, twisty road, and well worth the time to ride.
On Wednesday morning I will once again be riding highway 14, headed towards Birmingham, Alabama, and the Barber Motorcycle Museum.
Stay tuned for Day #2.

Mike - Love the picture of the motorcycle in front of the sunflowers. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures!
Hey Dad, I got the sparkplug changed in my KLR today. I also changed the oil as well. Sure do wish I was on the Thumpercafe with you instead of being back here in Thumperville, USA. Can't wait to see the pics and hear all of the stories at our next "bored" meeting on Tues. Be careful we will see you on Tues. P.S. Jake and Connor miss you and send their love. Kip
Mike, Looks like a wonderful trip. Your pictures and commentary are great! I was one day from going with you, but once the announcement of Wachovia being bought out and the crazy markets and economy put a stop to it. Oh well, there is always an upcoming Thumper Cafe. Most likely however, not the great roads! Ron
