Push Mountain Road -- Hwy 341 Arkansas -- stickers

[Old Guy]

A friend had these made and is selling them on the ZRX forum. I know, for a fact

, that some of you folks really like the road and thought there may be some interest. If so, feel free to contact me personally, and we'll figure it out. The price is $1 for a triplet -- one large and two small. Minimum order is $2.

Push Mtn Road...hmm, never heard of it.

Is that one of them thar flat n straight roads in Northern Arkisaw?

 

[FJRMGM]

Yes it is. And its only 40 miles from my home.

I rode Push Mountain a couple of times on the way back from the Arkansas Twistybut. I remember there was a guy taking pics, similar to the Dragon photographers. This dude had a white van of some kind that was parked near the corner he was setup at and as I came hauling *** around the corner I thought it was a cop trap and I was about to be few hundred dollars poorer

, as I got closer, after serious braking, I was quite relieved to find out he was just taking pics, but he messed up my rhythm none the less. This was the first time I'd seen anyone "setup" on this road. A little prior warning would have been nice

If I recall, like most of the roads in AK, Push Mtn has that nice and grippy cheap-seal surface, so you get great traction but it does chew up your tires though.

I'd like some of these stickers please, will PM you Old Guy

@Wheaty didn't you do this road with us?

 

[wheatonFJR]

Yes I did.

I remember it being "cough" flat and straighter"cough".

And very few blind corners out there too.

That silly road doesn't go anywhere. You get to the north end and it's "Now what?" I just don't get it.

I enjoyed riding the Push Mtn. road, but like Old Guy, I had trouble tying it into a riding loop, with overall far better riding west of there. I ended up just riding 412 back toward Harrison and into the Ozarks.

The roads in Arkansas are incredible, grip wise. On one tour, it rained a couple of days straight and after settling in and accepting the fact that it was going to be wet, I started to lean the bike over more. I found the grip to be fantastic - but I do agree that it eats tires. Guess you can't have that both ways.

From the north end, Hwy 5 south is pretty good. Then you can take 56 east over to 9 and south into Melbourne. Then that section of 9 to Mountain View is a hoot!

We decided a long time ago that Arkansas roads are tough on tires. It makes planning for tours tough trying to figure out whether I can go for a ride and still have enough tire for an upcoming tour. I had a spare rear wheel for the Goldwing, and that helped. No spares for the FJR, though.

You turn around and ride it the other way....that's what I did several times...

Funny thing...I did too.

Although it's so flat straight and boring, I have no idea why anyone would ever want to ride that road.

THAT road, I believe is the road that caused me to get an FJR. Chased this fast guy down with me on my FZ1 and realized that the FJR is a better bike than I am a rider. And it comes with all the other stuff I needed.

I'm holdin' out for a Hwy 263 Sticker!

I retired March 1st and bought the FJR March 2nd. My problem is that I don't really care to ride alone that much, and all my riding buddies are younger than me and still work.

Yeah. You need to retire. Then PM me for a ride

Yep, that is quite a hoot...then 16 from Mtn View to wherever you wanna go next.

Can't wait till the next Hooterville ride!
