the HUB is a good place right smack in the middle of great roads in Arkansas
the owners are motorcyclists and the place is designed for motorcycle rallys

SFO is the most laid back, unstructured FJR Rally ever
There are no official activites, no raffles, no banquet, no Rally Fee
We get together and ride informally, and eat when we want where we want
The Hub has a restaurant on the premises with great prime rib every evening at great prices.
They also have a breakfast buffet every morning

I would go, but I'm sort of tired of riding around Arkansas.

OK. Just kidding

I'll make a serious effort to show up. I'd like to meet some of you folks.

Harleys...Harleys...well, I guess the policy will be the same as last year

Harleys and Beemers are fine too as long as they take rooms in the back and refrain from using the public bathrooms in the lobby

Tried to fix it for you. They can be so hard to train...

If you post in the tread you are obligated to attend.

Come on up and get you some Redfish...I'll show you how to ride fast but not good!

 
Ha! I could use some lessons. I already know how to ride slow but not good... I am afraid that if I tried to follow you I would be learning how to pick gravel out of my worthless hide!

I am actually taking a family vacation in the truck up that way next weekend. Arkansas is a beautiful state and I love the roads up there. I am not sure if I will be able to attend SFO due to work scheduling.

 
Well, looks like there will be at least 6 of us there. I'll be there come hell or high water. (That usually happens anyway) Anybody else going to try and make it this year?

GP

 
Just as GP said - I'll be there come hell or the ever present high water. So we're officially rallying now ---

Actually, my guestimate is there will be 20+ when all is said and done. It's just an informal gathering so not a lot of hoopla found here. If you are strongly considering it Phil I would encourage you to make it happen. The riding in the Ozarks is great - and there's plenty of the local fare to enjoy as well. Just lock the throttlemeister on 100, blast across Okie and you'll be there in no time.

I am strongly considering going to this rally....if only 7 people show up, is it even a rally? Is this one of those events that people start signing on to go last minute?
Try to get there if you can. As Bandit said, there will be probably 20+ attendees. It will be my 4th SFO, I think.

I'm making a reservation now.

A side note:

I attended a rally in Lake Placid a couple of years back that had 5 attendees. We'd have liked to see more, but the upside was that we spent the entire week there as a group of five. We got to know each other well and formed a bond that's lasted. We email often, and I'll see the other four again this year in Colorado.

 
HI! I am moving to Mena, AR from California next week and I am thinking I might be able to make it to this shindig, but I won't know for sure until about mid-month April. Do you think that will be too late to make reservations? Do you guys mind me showing up?

Reserve the room then cancel if you see you're not going to make it.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Arkansas. Mena is a good place with some very nice riding nearby. If you don't make it to the rally, be sure to contact me when you relocate. I'll bring some buddies over and show you some nice roads.
