Solo Road Trip to the Ozarks… What Can Go Wrong

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

What do you think was a must see that I missed in the Ozarks? I might hit it again on my upcoming cross country trip!

[@johnthomas2485]

Bull Shoals Lake. The water is a gorgeous green from the minerals in the water, but so clear when looking straight down you can see really deep. The ferry is something to come back for. The road from Fayetteville to Alma is a gorgeous ride. Even on I-49 it's a gorgeous view. I took a trip across Northern Arkansas many years ago. In northeast Arkansas, there was a park with the remains of a town that had t61st post office west of the Mississippi.

[@TeriWright]

You could always visit America's most haunted hotel, The Crescent, in Eureka Springs.

[@Jeff-zc3wl]

Push Mountain is a fun road with corners and elevation changes.

[@theorthobiker]

I'm going to do a ride the Ozarks video series this year. Highway 123, the Arkansas dragon's tail is high on the list. The Arkansas Grand canyon is a must-see. The peel ferry loop is a fun ride. Highway 7 into Jasper then eating at the cafe there is always fun. Push mountain road is super fun, and you can get a patch for it at the gas station halfway down. Mountain view is another popular motorcycle destination and is where mountains, music, and motorcycles is typically held. The Ozarks are a little motorcycle paradise 🙂

[@geneshaw1234]

Go South out of Jasper on Highway 123 down to Hagarville. First part is really curvy and then gets into more sweeping curves. Lots of other good roads in the area with low traffic. Just keep an eye out for the deer.

[@GregALang]

I like the guy who pulls right up, head-to-head, with your bike as you're about to pull out and asks if he's blocking you in. (insert eye roll here)

[@davidruggles996]

Hahaha! "I'm helping." oh well, it was nice gesture.

[@Squatch_Rider66]

That guy was obtuse

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

🤪 he was helping me practice my off roading around obstacles

[@charlesprice7608]

@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle your positive attitude is refreshing. First video of yours I ever watched you dropped the bike a few times, and showed every bit of it. I was hooked, I’m 55 and have been riding since I was 5. The best part of the Ozark’s are in Missouri! But as a Missourian I’m biased 😎

[@abehatt7887]

Noodle pulls up out of the way he pulls forward.😂

[@Tunenine]

You are an inspiration for many female riders, I still do not have the heart to take it alone, but am quite impressed with those that do, keep it up.

[@SlingingLead]

Doodle is an inspiration for many male riders too!

[@1941392]

…once you get going you won’t be alone

[@rds4629]

male or female, I think it's best to go w/ a buddy or two.

[@paradoxworkshop4659]

Solo is the only way to go. Meet a lot of people, talk to many, you're still never "alone" but you have no tether...

[@Pummelqualle]

I am a girl and just taking my license to drive and it is so different in germany than in the USA, but it is an insperation to Watch this videos and getting answerd and refelcted your owen worries and happy times on a bike ❤ much Love from germany

[@mgeo07]

I've never ridden in the Ozarks, but I would say don't fret over what you didn't get to see, just appreciate the safe ride you had. There's always next time.

[@Steve-ec6ed]

"It's not about the destination, its about the journey"✌🏻

[@TheBlueDogMan]

Oh snap, Scenic 7 is great. It runs the length of the state. If you didn't ride that ,you missed a significant part of the greatness of Arkansas. I ride it every time I go to Arkansas and I never get tired of it. It’s a beautiful road. Lots of turns lots of scenery . Once again, a well produced video, I enjoyed it.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Ahh I'll have to check that one out on my upcoming cross country trip!

[@MrLou8888]

I think you did well. Things don't always go exactly as planned when on an adventure. All part of the fun you have and the memories you make.

[@tobylopez445]

Doodle! Now I know that I love you ❤️ because you are so polite and respectful, your parents raised an awesome Daughter! 😊❤😊Dios te Bendiga siempre 🙏

[@stevefarrage]

I was watching you remove your pannier boxes each time. I have the same bike and panniers, and would recommend that you invest in some pannier liner bags. These are soft bags that fit perfectly in the boxes. When you do your overnight stops just pull out the soft bags from the panniers and your good to go. And leave the panniers on the bike. Much easier. Have fun!

[@philhill184]

It may not always be impressive but it’s new to you, someplace you hadn’t been and it has its own challenges. Whether it’s a wreck on the highway or a treehouse for the night, your video and voice still convey excitement and awe. That’s what I like best about your videos.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

It was really good to see you ride Ben's @Veteran Biker Tri-Glide. Ben is a genuine good person and always willing to help a motorcyclist. Your new Triumph looks amazing, and I look forward to seeing what adventures you will be taking on it. Keep up the fantastic content. Eric

[@Ride_0n]

It's called simply The Pig Trail. And it's one of the best rides, having ridden coast to coast (but not every state or every road for certain!). I enjoyed that loop more than the Tail of the Dragon or the Cherohala Skyway. I was lucky enough to enjoy it on a pretty much brand new Ducati Multistrada on a ride from Virginia Beach to the California Coast. What a ride! IIRC, I did 21 to 16 to 23 (which is the Pig Trail). Turning south onto 23 was the best park, with some nice undulating S turns, it was a blast. I got about 10 miles of fun in before a sheriff dropped in on my tail for the next 10-20 miles until I got to the I-40. I denied him the ticket, though. And on the Ducati, too! Nerves of steel! There are a few scenic sections on the loop I did, but that's not what makes it a good ride. It's the turns. Only about a 1/3 of the northern section of 23 is the premium part, but it's worth it. TBH, I'm considering retiring to that area just so I can ride it. It's a LONG way from where I live now in Silicon Valley, but I'd be a lot closer to roads I've only ridden once before. If ever. eg: Tail of the Dragon and all that far more eastern US stuff a Californian is unlikely to see.

[@amyv6957]

What a great way to start my Friday on a cold, winter day... a ride on the Pigtail and seeing the sights of Arkansas! Perfecto ♥️ Loved every bit of this one, your enthusiasm and kindness touch many lives! I’ve wondered what a trike would ride like, looks comfy, sturdy...and no feet down ☺️

[@johnthomas2485]

Bull Shoals Lake. The water is a gorgeous green from the minerals in the water, but so clear when looking straight down you can see really deep. The ferry is something to come back for.

[@jcrewguy123]

Props to you again for taking on another adventure! I spent 9 months in Fayetteville, AR at which time I had a BMW K1200 RT and explored a lot of the state and I'll admit fun, smooth, curvy roads were just a few miles from home. The 21, 16, 27 and 7 (along with the 23 you rode) are comparable and worth trying to hit next time through.

[@SneakyFastAdventures]

Your videos make my day! Thanks for taking the trips and sharing them with us. I'd love to see more ride footage of the roads and scenery you encounter to go along with the interviews and features along the way. You are an accomplished rider, and it would be fun to see what you see and hear your thoughts about the routes as you ride. Loved that tree-house!

[@ttrguy9952]

Doodle I'm SOOO proud of you! The Ozarks are on my list for this summer. You belong on the Tiger Lady! I received the first 1200 GT Explorer in the USA last July. I have it now fully equipped and ready for lots of adventures this coming summer. I love how much your skills have grown. AWESOME stuff! You GO Girl!! Ride SAFE and BE safe Doodle! ❤🌹

[@GarySimmons]

The tree house... so cool. And that Oark Cafe was so perfect! Great trip

[@PeterVred]

Great video, good to see you again, been a while. Nice to see you on a ADV bike, and riding the Ozarks, very near where I bought my first bike in 30 years, the Africa Twin! I picked it up in Russellville, and highway 7 was my first ride on that monster. It’s been a fun time since 2020! Wouldn’t have been without the bike.

[@billsmith5069]

Doodle awesome video, you continue to inspire! Love your content.

[@RayGreen94510]

Your pleasant attitude and all around enthusiasm make everything you share absolutely perfect!

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done. As always with stile. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers to ya

[@cl2eep_rides]

This is one of the trips I want to make on a bike next! Arkansas always looks like a great place to ride in videos!

[@903Z1]

I am amazed at how many people have no clue how Beautiful this country is and riding a motorcycle is the best way to see it , Thanks Doodle for putting a smile on and ole bikers face , your a class act and a brave women but never forget every thing on the highway is out to get you so ride smart and may your trips never end .

[@richardmourdock2719]

My riding buddies and I used to have an expression, "The adventure doesn't begin until you tie your bike down on a ferry".. Many pleasant memories with that thought. Especially of Newfoundland.

[@delwilliams9042]

Looks like you're loving your 900GT. I did a 2,500 mile european tour through 9 Countries and mine didn't miss a beat

[@spaceracer23]

BB&B was bigger before COVID. Fayetteville went full panic and half the rally moved to Pig Trail HD in Rogers.

[@naomis.9286]

8:46 🤦🏻‍♀️ 11:19 awwww. Like how they were looking out and gave you the heads up. 13:44 adam is the man. Love his work and channel. So happy for him and the Mrs.

[@ohiodevildog85]

I'm happy to see my mom isn't the only mom who tries to take pictures and videos of me riding or in my gear.

[@mdf1951]

I have rode the Pig Trail about 5 times, its a fun time. Oark general store is the oldest continually operating store in Arkansas and is a registered land mark historically. The place where you stopped to start the Pig Trail usually has someone there selling water and a porta potty is available. There is a wooden bridge just outside of Eureka Springs called the Beaver Bridge, its kinda cool to ride across. Great video, I am glad you had a good time.

[@bdsurfer13]

Your story telling and video skills are better every video. Doodle, you are the Steve Rinella of Motorcycling. Love the videos you produce the best quality.!!! Can't wait to get my first bike out to ride. Have to wait for weather to be consistently above 40 before I'll be do any major riding in my Rocky Mnts

[@leoschubich3424]

Thanks for the great video Doodle. Great job on the trike. I'm 72 years old and have been riding since I was 14. I couldn't ride a trike the first time I tried a few years ago. Glad and grateful I can still ride 2 wheels. I have a daughter in Little Rock and I ride down from Iowa fairly often. Will have to check out some of your stops and ride the pig trail.

[@two-wheels7397]

Sorry you did not enjoy NWA! I love it here. You missed some neat rides around Ponca, Jasper, Mt Judea. Maybe next time. I will add BBQ is very different since moving north. I did not enjoy this year, more spread out than in years past. Glad you had a safe visit!

[@zinzanman]

Another great Vid, nice job kid! Having completed most of the rides you have, and as a Mid-Atlantic resident, I strongly suggest you try West Virginia and Kentucky. Both are amazing. Mountains, twisties, incredible scenery, Fed/State parks, open roads and, for me, easy to incorporate into a BRP/Dragon trip. Enjoy!

[@-dirk-65]

Old timer Montana boy here. Took my touring HD, FLHPI across U.S last summer, a first for an Evel fanatic. Jumped anything with two wheels for 50 years but never rode a trike. Thanks for sharing.

[@DBartWest]

Enjoy what you have time for and gives you an excuse to go back. Arkansas is one place I hardly spent any time traveling. Thanks for taking me there.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

You didn't do it "wrong" in AR, but you did Oark, so a lot of right. The thing about AR is there are sooo many cool places to ride through and to that it would take a few months to get a large portion of it in. You DID pick a good time of year for the trip. BBB was fun the 2nd year they did it but after the 3rd year I haven't been back. The ride to and from Fayetteville was better than the event (I hate crowds!).

[@phredrocks]

Hey Doodle, probably more time in arkansas is the most mneeded thing fro the next trip. there is a road in western arkansas called the three sisters, and the Talimena skyway that are pretty epic for that paart of the world. These roads probably will not compare to the roads out west, but for the middle of the country, they are what we have to ride. thanks for what you do, I have mad respect for your determination and tenacity. stay safe, and keep'em coming. fred

[@stevefast7374]

I ride to BBBQ every year. You missed many of the other curvy roads in Arkansas. Pig Trail obviously is the most well known one (and dangerous) along with 62 out of Eureka Springs. They moved the venue to Rogers this year, so some things weren't up to par because Rogers wasn't really ready for the event. Hopefully they will be better organized next year. I haven't tried the K River Campground; I stay with a relative (to save money, and for good conversation). Hope you can come back and take it all in. (My buddy crashed on Pig Trail last year and totaled his bike.)

[@phil4986]

Great, fun video. I hadn't seen your Triumph adventure bike. What a fantastic bike. The perfect size for the street and some mild off roading. That place you stayed at the end of the video was extremely cool. Room in a treehouse. So cool. Trikes are great vehicles, but most have to be driven slower than regular bikes to be safe. Those 1700 lb ones were bad as heck. Can you imagine how hard it would be to turn those around in a parking lot? I liked your friends veterans Harley trike too. Harley really promoted this platform when nobody else would. Much respect to Harley for doing that.

[@karldoerr9456]

Nice video, never ridden the pig trail , I must someday. Good to see Ben/Veteranbiker, watch him every morning!

[@leswatson8563]

Doodle's, as aways a pleasure and thank you for sharing. Safe enjoyable riding till next time girl 👌✌️.

[@MichaelH416]

One of the great things about motorcycle rides is if you miss stuff it sets up another adventure to see it in the future on the next trip.

[@ScramblerStories]

You got it done! We camped right by that treehouse when we were there, but next time we definitely want to try one of those treehouses!

[@Ronjovi77]

I was 55 when I took my bike with my wife from Texas to Arkansas and road through Eureka Springs. And around Beaver Lake. It was the best thing we've ever done together.

[@Boysenberr]

Terrific video, Doodle, and the quality of your presentations/videography is extra-special!

[@kenc165]

First, you are definitely in the heart of the South

[@broncosguru]

Wow a cross country ride will be epic! Have you done the whole Blue Ridge Parkway yet? That on my list for this year but damn I'm thinking I'm looking to short with that now!

[@michaelkovach7973]

Another great vid showcasing your adventures around the country Doodle! Thanks for sharing. ✌️😃🏍

[@thomasstockslager9574]

Doodle, I grew up just off the pig trail in AR. Lived in Eureka Springs as a kid for a while, went to school in Huntsville, on the pig trail. Great ride, But i can remember when it was gravel and I drove it in a 50 Chevy truck.. many yrs ago. Glad you had a safe ride. Enjoy following your travels. Stocky.

[@AICD1999]

When you go back to ARK, and you will, You definitely have to do the Grand Canyon if the Ozarks. You should stop at the Cliff House Inn and have lunch. Its just about the best around for catfish sandwich and its in the Ozark Canyon base.

[@ek5150]

Girl, when you said "the campsite" I didn't expect that. VERY NICE!!!

[@stephensequichie2264]

BB&BBQ is usually bigger, but this was the first year it was in Rogers, AR. Years before they had it in Fayetteville, AR with a bike parade on the first day and it went down Dickson street with bars, restaurants, booths, and concerts. Hopefully they will plan it better for next year because it was scattered around Rogers at the Embassy Suites, Pig Trail Harley Davidson in Rogers and Downtown Rogers, AR. The downtown has been getting renovations and new businesses. It should be worth a visit next year or the year after. Fort Smith, AR also has the Steel Horse Rally May 5th & 6th. BB&BBQ will be September 20th-23rd. RIDE SAFE!!!!

[@johnadams9711]

Thanks for the ride Doodle!

[@antonmcbride9131]

I’ve been in NWA almost two years and love to just get on my bike and find new roads to ride. So many nice rides here throughout AR. I enjoyed your video and it was nice to see you and Ben @VeteranBiker trading bikes for a bit. He’s a great guy and I loved his Roadglide he had, but I do think his trike is awesome too. Stay safe.

[@FSAUDIOGUY]

Really Nice Trip Doodle, Been a Minute....good to see you are doing well! Cheers!

[@stk0308]

I'd recommend getting a pair of GIVI E143 Trekker Outback Padded Handle, Black, 40. They sell them individually. They strap to the lid of those panniers(Givi makes the panniers for Triumph). Then you can carry them like normal suitcases. There's also the GIVI E144 Elastic Net. This attaches to the inside of the lids and allows you to insure smaller, lighter stuff is right at hand when you open the panniers.

[@GunNut37086]

OMG, the treehouse was epic!! My sister, brother-in-law, and I took a week-long motorcycle camping trip to the Ozarks a few years ago. The AR Grand Canyon was nice, but not like Cherohala nice. I had fun, but we were underwhelmed.

[@stephenpenniket9976]

Famous quote from Casey Stoner to Rossi himself at post race interview that 'his ambition was greater than his ability'! ouch, major burn and one of the best of all time for sure.

[@TeriWright]

Too bad you missed out on BBB. The pig trail is awesome. Did you stop at Turner Bend? Sometimes I will go down it and then back up old 71. Lots of curves on both roads. Love the Oark cafe, great place to eat. K-river campground is nice. I went there last year and because I am a veteran I got to stay free.

[@phillipdaulton9861]

Ha! You were there the weekend after I was. We did Eureka Springs, Mammoth Spring, Push Mountain Road, Magazine Mountain and the Pig Trail. Passed through Oark, but the store was not open on Tuesdays. Hit Catalapa General Sore the next day, but he closed up ten minutes before we got there. Also camped on the Buffalo River two nights. Great riding!

[@ForTheChristians]

I live in the Missouri half of the Ozark’s! So many fun, twisty rural highways everywhere. Glad you could make it. 😊

[@brahimmhamed5454]

Hi. I waetched most of your videos. I will watch all the others promise. I am not english speaker. I learnt a lot from you : english motorcycles trips and perseverance. You are amazing. I loved every task you have achieved. What impressed me more is the honesty the humbleness the courage. Please keep going. You are our light up on a hill.

[@mikeg5474]

Brings me back to my happy place. Rode a similar route a couple of years ago (spurred on by pandemic cabin fever), and stayed in that very same tree house (which is the wallpaper on my phone). Hope you were able to travel the Talihina route on the way to K River. Met you a few months later at the Get On Motofest, and long distance travel didn't interest you at the time. Nice to see you're embracing it now :) Bucket list item: ride it again...with my daughter.

[@correykeen2956]

You only visited a small portion of the Ozarks. It's part of 5 states but is mostly located in Missouri and Arkansas and would be difficult to find all the gems in the few days you had. I'm from Southwest Missouri so it was nice to see you near my old stomping grounds. There are some fantastic roads around Branson, Missouri if you're ever in the mood to visit us hillbillies again.

[@thevoiceinmyhelmet3827]

I can't tell you what you missed, I've never been there. However, Your trip has inspired me to make the trip this spring. I'll let you know if I see anything else cool...lol

[@davidmurphy661]

I live near that Ferry. Where I grew up in Illinois. Straight roads and no hills. The Ozarks are beautiful.

[@RidingintheOzarks]

Next time you come to the Ozarks hit us up, we were at BBB, the rally is spread out, there was not much at demo ride area this year but it was rebuilding year (it was cancelled the last 2 years), most of the vendors are at Pig Trail HD but the Party is at Eureka Springs and the riding is the best part!

[@box510motorcycles3]

As someone who lives in the Ouachita mountains (just south of where you where) Hwy 7 is fun ride. There may be more impressive places when you're traveling from sea to shining sea, but the Ozarks and the Ouachita's are the best rides for hundreds of miles around here. You should come back with a dual sport and ride the US national forest trails at Wolf Pen Gap near Mena Arkansas.

[@db5757]

@Box510 Motorcycles As a former resident of the Quachita’s, I totally agree. I’ve ridden up down and all around that area. I used to tell my riding friends that whole area is one of the best kept riding secrets in the USA. Looks like word has gotten out. Ride safe…🏍️

[@TheBlueDogMan]

Very well said. It is a treasure that is so rewarding to ride. I live in a small town south of Fort Worth. When I take my trip,I usually stay in Talihina, OK and ride the ridge over to Arkansas. I can hardly wait for the weather to turn so I can ride it again.

[@DrHarley]

WOW, You're living the best life you can. That's AWESOME.

[@patrickmcguire1988]

I don't know what to say...I liked the Ozark national forest and the "Pig tail" routes - very scenic and layed-back. I live in the upper Midwest, so this BBQ rally sort of closes out my riding season.

[@matthewshultz8762]

Some of the best roads in the State, in my opinion, are offroad near White Rock. You mentioned the Arkansas Grand Canyon - I've never heard that one before. Maybe they are referring to the Buffalo National River, near Ponca, Compton, Pruitt, Woolum, Gilbert... It's best taken by canoe to see the bluffs. There's a lot of paved roads, hwy 23, 21, 7, 16, 123, etc. that are well known in the Ozarks, but take a trip down to Magazine or the Ouachitas and find some fantastic high mountain scenery. The Talimena Drive (which crosses into Oklahoma, OK hwy 1) is another popular ride. It's nothing as high-mountain as the Appalachians or the Rockies but there's good roads and the weather is way more tolerable for most of the year. Glad you enjoyed your visit!

[@rhodeisland_roadking]

Damn girl you went from smaller audience to 100k plus pretty quick. All the best and thanks for keeping the content upbeat!

[@thunderstruck5484]

It’s funny I’m watching your video and realize I’m wearing my Pig Trail Highway 23 T-shirt I got years ago up there, love eastern Oklahoma and on into Arkansas, living in north Texas it’s not far to get into pretty country up there thanks for taking us along!

[@XxGyromancerXx]

That is one cool trip! I'd love to get back in touch with my childhood and stay in a campground treehouse. I'm planning a long ride from Chandler, AZ back to where I currently live some time this year. I'm going to pick up another gen 1 Kawasaki KLR650. Don't plan on taking I-40 most of the way. Same goes for I-81 or any interstate freeway. Will need to make some scenic detours.

[@elmiguel6725]

Thank you Carolyn, all of your videos are informative and fun !

[@jameskiehm546]

I’ve seen some crazy car chases on KZbin videos in Arkansas so I plan to steer clear although Sandoval’s campground looks pretty cool. One of the coolest ferries in the country is the Lake Express High Speed Ferry between Muskegon, MI and Milwaukee. It’s 2 1/2 hours one way across Lake Michigan. When I did it, bikes were first on and first off. They provide straps to tie your bike securely. I would book early if you are going in the summer. Ride Safe!

[@SaltyOldGamer]

Hmm, that's interesting. I've read that BBQ, Bikes & Blues draw 400k+ riders, which would make it as big as or bigger than Myrtle, Daytona, and even Laconia. Pretty much everything but Sturgis itself. We were thinking of going this September (2024) so I hope it's just cause you got there late.

[@vernhanna4399]

I have crossed on the fairy and seen the Arkansas Grand Canyon pretty cool , worth doing for sure. If you went from Eureka to Oark in my opinion you missed the curviest part of the pig trail. Great video as always.

[@stanleyroberts4381]

Looked like lots of fun,thanks for sharing!

[@davidherringgo]

You went K River . That's on my bucket list. Your cabin looked really comfortable. Be following your cross country trip.

[@dconter]

I liked how you put your foot down while riding the trike. Old habits are hard to break.

[@donaldmartz7256]

I had my 2013 road glide turned into a trike (knee replacement). Love riding it, but definitely a learning curve from a motorcycle.

[@karljay7473]

One of these days, you should do a ride thru the Sierra Foothills. Start out in Folsom CA and end up at Lake Tahoe and everywhere in between. The whole area is amazing. We have a "baby dragon" called Salmon Falls Rd outside Folsom, CA and then HWY 49. Go mid-week to miss the traffic and end up looping around Lake Tahoe.

[@Gio_Fortunato]

New sub here and it’s pretty cool that you came to nwa and rode the pig trail. A lot of backroads out here to ride.

[@QuadeQuick]

Well, Doods, you did something I have yet to do but plan to: ride a trike. And you did great! As you and VB parked at the Oark Cafe on the dirt parking lot, I thought, "Hey, you don't need a kickstand on a trike." Duh. I have had the Harley on a couple of different ferries in Wisconsin. Oh, and glad you connected with Adam - cool dude and love what he's done with the campground. As for the trip, I think if you had an extra day on the front end you would've been able to relax and enjoy a little more. But you've ridden some amazing roads; it's pretty tough to hold anything up to Cherohala or the Black Hills IMO, so you try to let each trip stand on its own. You'll never be able to do everything in a given location, so continue to connect with the people like you always have. That's what you tend to remember most anyway. Great post.
