A few years ago I was in Eureka Springs in mid September. Weather forecast changed while we were there. Rode home in snow showers for about 100 miles. Crap that was cold.
Quit your damned whining and trailer the damn bike!

For what it is worth... September is a great month in Arkansas...

I was in Arkansas and Springfield, MO mid April this year for a week-long rally. Temps never got beyond the high 40's except for one day where it was in the low 50's -- and it rained every single day. I bought a heated vest after that trip.

On television there, I saw several ads selling storm shelters for the tornado weather! So, these people must really get hammered during tornado season. Just a thought...

A few years back when I still had my C50 a group of us had planned to head down to Arkansas around memorial weekend. That's when the tornado in Joplin hit and even after that it rained for a week or so after that which forced us to cancel our trip. Hope to have great weather for this one!

Just another of my many pro bono talents a extended to bolster the VBA image. I consider it a meager courtesy. We're about to hose bunch of folks at a rally and speaking correctly presents an exceptional image which is paramount when you consider we won't have a second chance to present a good first impression.
