When i lived in Springfield, I put most of the miles on my FJR riding 125. That stretch from Reuter to Bradleyville is the best stretch of road, And i miss it since i moved back to Arizona.
You guys need to look up the Hooterville thread in Midwest ride gatherings. We cut through MO east of 125 but end up in the same general vicinity in AR. Great bunch of guys and even better riding.
