    AHR 2021 - Let's Ride!

    As most of you know, Mrs. Gordon has sold the motel & is moving on to a life of leisure after many years hosting us in Jasper. It was a great time while it lasted and I can say for sure, I've had some really fun times there. In fact, the Hillbilly was my very first rally of any kind and I thank my lucky stars I fell in with such a good group of people. But as Bob Dylan might say, 'the times they are a changing' & we've had to consider other locations for our get together.

    This year, we'll try a new venue in Yellville, AR called the Carlton Marion Inn & is about 30 miles due east of Harrison, so we're still near all the good riding we've come to enjoy over the years. The motel has a fire pit for socializing & an area for us to grill out one evening if we like. There are 4-5 places to eat within walking distance or a very short ride/drive (BBQ, Mexican, pizza) and there is a liquor store 5 minutes north of the motel.

    Since I got a late start looking for new digs in the hopes that we'd get another stay at the Gordon, room selection was not as clear cut as I'd hoped, but I think we have enough to accommodate everyone interested in attending. Here's the line-up:
    • 6 double rooms (2 beds) - double up with somebody if you can
    • 1 double room w/roll away bed (3 beds)
    • 2 king rooms (1 bed)
    • 2 queen rooms (1 bed)
    Start making plans to join in the fun and get yourself to the beautiful Ozark Mountains in NW Arkansas and hillbilly riding nirvana. As in years past, please be aware that any display of mature, adult behavior in any shape, manner or form is frowned upon and will not be tolerated. Some things never change! So come solo, ride in with your buddies, bring your wife or girlfriend or bring your mom it you have to, just get here!

    Guaranteed great riding during the day, uplifting frolic and cavortment at night.

    When: Arrive October 13th, Depart October 17th
    Where: Yellville, AR
    Command Central: The Carlton Marion Inn
    Reservations: (870) 600-1532; Kimberly; tell her you're with the BMW group
    Office Hours: 10am-9pm M-F
    Cancellation Policy: No refunds after 7 days prior to your arrival date

    Double (2 beds) - $69/night
    Double w/roll away - $79/night
    King - $79/night
    Queen (single queen bed) - $59/night

    PM me with any questions... be there or be square!

    Gary & I are gonna make the scene in Yellville & Steve is always a 'maybe' since he sometimes works the crop combine harvesting beans & corn during October back home. Besides, he doesn't have a bike after totaling his '21 S1000RR with only 329 miles on it & with the lead-time for a new '22 model, who knows when he'll see his replacement.

    I'm looking forward to some riding and hanging out with everyone. See you soon!

        Thank you, Curt, for setting this up! We will be making our reservation very soon. Also a bigley thank you to Mrs. Gordon, for putting up with us, feeding us brownies and never once in 15 years, calling the law upon us.

            Unfortunately. And honestly, I really wasn't looking forward to such a quick trip up there, mainly because it's Africa hot here right now. Plus, I like the looks of the Carlton & was satisfied after talking with Kimberly, that it'd work for us this year.

            When I get up there, I'm gonna take the opportunity to check out some of the other places I came across doing my research. Will stop by the Gordon too & see if I can catch the new owner & get an idea what his plans may be for next year.

            Hope you & the wife can make the trek Wes.

          I left a message and Kimberly called me back to get my credit card number and address. She mentioned leaving a message works good because most of the time nobody is in the office for now.
          I used the number Curt provided and not the office number on the web site.

          This link shows the room types.

          Debbie got her pins out today so I hope her foot feels good enough to ride by mid October.

            Dang! Hope she recovers in time for Yellville. Did she lose a toe too? ?

            When someone says "tough as an old boot," Deb comes immediately to mind.

            Capn! Great. It will be fun to see you again and to meet your passenger for the first time.

            Lee, no, she had already checked that before making a long term commitment. Although it was underwater as refraction makes everything look 25% bigger.

          Kansas Tim tried calling this morning. Told him to leave a message.
          Mike Knox has a reservation and said he got the last single $59 room.

              Mr. and Mrs. Branyan are confirmed with credit card info entered now. Only one bed in our room. So, Joe, Rooster, and others of their ilk will be looking elsewhere.

              Yellville is starting to have the makings of a GOOD time.

                  Nice! I'm glad everybody is gonna try it one mo time!

                  Let's hope it'll be a perfect Fall time of year with lots of colors & cool, crisp weather. And it looks like we'll have use of a fancy fire pit if we get the urge!

                  If anyone has Mike from Austin contact info you might let him know about the rally.
                  I sent a PM but have not heard back.
                  He has not been on the site since the Texas rally.
