What about the Arkansas Dragon? Highway 123

Anyone ever hit this one? I'm looking at heading up there in September.

that's just a small part, but there is lots of good riding up there. hwy 7, 27 up to norfork, push mountain road back, ride to oark for lunch, etc... I've been up there a handful of times and ridden all the good shit. Such a nice area that's semi close to texas.

Good shit up there, pig trail (23), anywhere in the ozarks really, also good stuff in Mark Twain national forest in Missouri

Got a cabin booked up there near Jasper for Labor Day Weekend, I'm going to rip around on the KTM and see the sights and the twisty roads. Should be a good time.

Man, there are a myriad of good roads in the area around Jasper. I've been 5 times and had a shit-eating grin on my face the whole time.

It's been nearly 10 years since I've been though. It's amazing what 5 kids does to a sport bike riding schedule.

I usually go up to North Carolina for the one true Dragon in Robbinsville each summer, but not this year. So this is the alternative. I'm hoping its good shit. Might have to throw it in the yearly rotation of weekend trips.

I made it out there in September, the roads were pretty good, but that time of year, there were FAR too many deer to really let it hang out. Just wasn't safe. But awesome scenery, excellent food at the Ozark Cafe.

I've ridden a ton of those roads all over Arkansas on my Blackbird and on a KTM 690 Enduro R. Had a blast on both.
