Solo Road Trip to the Ozarks… What Can Go Wrong
I planned a 1700 mile road trip to explore the Ozarks of Arkansas. I would check out the Bikes, Blues, & BBQ rally, Pig's Trail, and the famous Oark Cafe. Thanks to Triumph for the loan for the trip, the Tiger 900 GT Low, @VeteranBiker for letting me ride his limited edition Harley Trike, and @adamsandoval for a treehouse stay at the K River Campground.

What do you think was a must see that I missed in the Ozarks? I might hit it again on my upcoming cross country trip!

Bull Shoals Lake. The water is a gorgeous green from the minerals in the water, but so clear when looking straight down you can see really deep. The ferry is something to come back for. The road from Fayetteville to Alma is a gorgeous ride. Even on I-49 it's a gorgeous view. I took a trip across Northern Arkansas many years ago. In northeast Arkansas, there was a park with the remains of a town that had t61st post office west of the Mississippi.

I'm going to do a ride the Ozarks video series this year. Highway 123, the Arkansas dragon's tail is high on the list. The Arkansas Grand canyon is a must-see. The peel ferry loop is a fun ride. Highway 7 into Jasper then eating at the cafe there is always fun. Push mountain road is super fun, and you can get a patch for it at the gas station halfway down. Mountain view is another popular motorcycle destination and is where mountains, music, and motorcycles is typically held. The Ozarks are a little motorcycle paradise 🙂

Go South out of Jasper on Highway 123 down to Hagarville. First part is really curvy and then gets into more sweeping curves. Lots of other good roads in the area with low traffic. Just keep an eye out for the deer.
I like the guy who pulls right up, head-to-head, with your bike as you're about to pull out and asks if he's blocking you in. (insert eye roll here)

Oh snap, Scenic 7 is great. It runs the length of the state. If you didn't ride that ,you missed a significant part of the greatness of Arkansas. I ride it every time I go to Arkansas and I never get tired of it. It’s a beautiful road. Lots of turns lots of scenery . Once again, a well produced video, I enjoyed it.

I think you did well. Things don't always go exactly as planned when on an adventure. All part of the fun you have and the memories you make.
Doodle! Now I know that I love you ❤️ because you are so polite and respectful, your parents raised an awesome Daughter! 😊❤😊Dios te Bendiga siempre 🙏
I was watching you remove your pannier boxes each time. I have the same bike and panniers, and would recommend that you invest in some pannier liner bags. These are soft bags that fit perfectly in the boxes. When you do your overnight stops just pull out the soft bags from the panniers and your good to go. And leave the panniers on the bike. Much easier. Have fun!
"It's not about the destination, its about the journey"✌🏻
It may not always be impressive but it’s new to you, someplace you hadn’t been and it has its own challenges. Whether it’s a wreck on the highway or a treehouse for the night, your video and voice still convey excitement and awe. That’s what I like best about your videos.
It was really good to see you ride Ben's @Veteran Biker Tri-Glide. Ben is a genuine good person and always willing to help a motorcyclist. Your new Triumph looks amazing, and I look forward to seeing what adventures you will be taking on it. Keep up the fantastic content. Eric
When you go back to ARK, and you will, You definitely have to do the Grand Canyon if the Ozarks. You should stop at the Cliff House Inn and have lunch. Its just about the best around for catfish sandwich and its in the Ozark Canyon base.

It's called simply The Pig Trail. And it's one of the best rides, having ridden coast to coast (but not every state or every road for certain!). I enjoyed that loop more than the Tail of the Dragon or the Cherohala Skyway. I was lucky enough to enjoy it on a pretty much brand new Ducati Multistrada on a ride from Virginia Beach to the California Coast. What a ride! IIRC, I did 21 to 16 to 23 (which is the Pig Trail). Turning south onto 23 was the best park, with some nice undulating S turns, it was a blast. I got about 10 miles of fun in before a sheriff dropped in on my tail for the next 10-20 miles until I got to the I-40. I denied him the ticket, though. And on the Ducati, too! Nerves of steel! There are a few scenic sections on the loop I did, but that's not what makes it a good ride. It's the turns. Only about a 1/3 of the northern section of 23 is the premium part, but it's worth it. TBH, I'm considering retiring to that area just so I can ride it. It's a LONG way from where I live now in Silicon Valley, but I'd be a lot closer to roads I've only ridden once before. If ever. eg: Tail of the Dragon and all that far more eastern US stuff a Californian is unlikely to see.
What a great way to start my Friday on a cold, winter day... a ride on the Pigtail and seeing the sights of Arkansas! Perfecto ♥️ Loved every bit of this one, your enthusiasm and kindness touch many lives! I’ve wondered what a trike would ride like, looks comfy, sturdy...and no feet down ☺️
Props to you again for taking on another adventure! I spent 9 months in Fayetteville, AR at which time I had a BMW K1200 RT and explored a lot of the state and I'll admit fun, smooth, curvy roads were just a few miles from home. The 21, 16, 27 and 7 (along with the 23 you rode) are comparable and worth trying to hit next time through.
The tree house... so cool. And that Oark Cafe was so perfect! Great trip
Your videos make my day! Thanks for taking the trips and sharing them with us. I'd love to see more ride footage of the roads and scenery you encounter to go along with the interviews and features along the way. You are an accomplished rider, and it would be fun to see what you see and hear your thoughts about the routes as you ride. Loved that tree-house!
I am amazed at how many people have no clue how Beautiful this country is and riding a motorcycle is the best way to see it , Thanks Doodle for putting a smile on and ole bikers face , your a class act and a brave women but never forget every thing on the highway is out to get you so ride smart and may your trips never end .
Old timer Montana boy here. Took my touring HD, FLHPI across U.S last summer, a first for an Evel fanatic. Jumped anything with two wheels for 50 years but never rode a trike. Thanks for sharing.
BB&B was bigger before COVID. Fayetteville went full panic and half the rally moved to Pig Trail HD in Rogers.
Doodle awesome video, you continue to inspire! Love your content.
Great video, good to see you again, been a while. Nice to see you on a ADV bike, and riding the Ozarks, very near where I bought my first bike in 30 years, the Africa Twin! I picked it up in Russellville, and highway 7 was my first ride on that monster. It’s been a fun time since 2020! Wouldn’t have been without the bike.
My riding buddies and I used to have an expression, "The adventure doesn't begin until you tie your bike down on a ferry".. Many pleasant memories with that thought. Especially of Newfoundland.
BB&BBQ is usually bigger, but this was the first year it was in Rogers, AR. Years before they had it in Fayetteville, AR with a bike parade on the first day and it went down Dickson street with bars, restaurants, booths, and concerts. Hopefully they will plan it better for next year because it was scattered around Rogers at the Embassy Suites, Pig Trail Harley Davidson in Rogers and Downtown Rogers, AR. The downtown has been getting renovations and new businesses. It should be worth a visit next year or the year after. Fort Smith, AR also has the Steel Horse Rally May 5th & 6th. BB&BBQ will be September 20th-23rd. RIDE SAFE!!!!
I live in the Missouri half of the Ozark’s! So many fun, twisty rural highways everywhere. Glad you could make it. 😊
As someone who lives in the Ouachita mountains (just south of where you where) Hwy 7 is fun ride. There may be more impressive places when you're traveling from sea to shining sea, but the Ozarks and the Ouachita's are the best rides for hundreds of miles around here. You should come back with a dual sport and ride the US national forest trails at Wolf Pen Gap near Mena Arkansas.

Very well said. It is a treasure that is so rewarding to ride. I live in a small town south of Fort Worth. When I take my trip,I usually stay in Talihina, OK and ride the ridge over to Arkansas. I can hardly wait for the weather to turn so I can ride it again.
First, you are definitely in the heart of the South
Famous quote from Casey Stoner to Rossi himself at post race interview that 'his ambition was greater than his ability'! ouch, major burn and one of the best of all time for sure.
The nice thing about M/C road trips is that if you "miss" it the first time, you can always hit it the next time.
Doodle I'm SOOO proud of you! The Ozarks are on my list for this summer. You belong on the Tiger Lady! I received the first 1200 GT Explorer in the USA last July. I have it now fully equipped and ready for lots of adventures this coming summer. I love how much your skills have grown. AWESOME stuff! You GO Girl!! Ride SAFE and BE safe Doodle! ❤🌹
I'm happy to see my mom isn't the only mom who tries to take pictures and videos of me riding or in my gear.
Your pleasant attitude and all around enthusiasm make everything you share absolutely perfect!
I have rode the Pig Trail about 5 times, its a fun time. Oark general store is the oldest continually operating store in Arkansas and is a registered land mark historically. The place where you stopped to start the Pig Trail usually has someone there selling water and a porta potty is available. There is a wooden bridge just outside of Eureka Springs called the Beaver Bridge, its kinda cool to ride across. Great video, I am glad you had a good time.
Great video thank you very well done. As always with stile. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers to ya
Hey Doodle, probably more time in arkansas is the most mneeded thing fro the next trip. there is a road in western arkansas called the three sisters, and the Talimena skyway that are pretty epic for that paart of the world. These roads probably will not compare to the roads out west, but for the middle of the country, they are what we have to ride. thanks for what you do, I have mad respect for your determination and tenacity. stay safe, and keep'em coming. fred
This is one of the trips I want to make on a bike next! Arkansas always looks like a great place to ride in videos!
I was 55 when I took my bike with my wife from Texas to Arkansas and road through Eureka Springs. And around Beaver Lake. It was the best thing we've ever done together.
You are one lucky rider. Been wanting to visit Adam, myself. Hasn't been in the cards. You, Adam and so many others have dream jobs. Cherish every minute. Some day you will find yourself old, like me (70+) with so many regrets. Good Luck and God Bless from East Tennessee.
Looks like you're loving your 900GT. I did a 2,500 mile european tour through 9 Countries and mine didn't miss a beat
I ride to BBBQ every year. You missed many of the other curvy roads in Arkansas. Pig Trail obviously is the most well known one (and dangerous) along with 62 out of Eureka Springs. They moved the venue to Rogers this year, so some things weren't up to par because Rogers wasn't really ready for the event. Hopefully they will be better organized next year. I haven't tried the K River Campground; I stay with a relative (to save money, and for good conversation). Hope you can come back and take it all in. (My buddy crashed on Pig Trail last year and totaled his bike.)
Your story telling and video skills are better every video. Doodle, you are the Steve Rinella of Motorcycling. Love the videos you produce the best quality.!!! Can't wait to get my first bike out to ride. Have to wait for weather to be consistently above 40 before I'll be do any major riding in my Rocky Mnts
Another great Vid, nice job kid! Having completed most of the rides you have, and as a Mid-Atlantic resident, I strongly suggest you try West Virginia and Kentucky. Both are amazing. Mountains, twisties, incredible scenery, Fed/State parks, open roads and, for me, easy to incorporate into a BRP/Dragon trip. Enjoy!
Sorry you did not enjoy NWA! I love it here. You missed some neat rides around Ponca, Jasper, Mt Judea. Maybe next time. I will add BBQ is very different since moving north. I did not enjoy this year, more spread out than in years past. Glad you had a safe visit!
I'd recommend getting a pair of GIVI E143 Trekker Outback Padded Handle, Black, 40. They sell them individually. They strap to the lid of those panniers(Givi makes the panniers for Triumph). Then you can carry them like normal suitcases. There's also the GIVI E144 Elastic Net. This attaches to the inside of the lids and allows you to insure smaller, lighter stuff is right at hand when you open the panniers.
Doodle, I grew up just off the pig trail in AR. Lived in Eureka Springs as a kid for a while, went to school in Huntsville, on the pig trail. Great ride, But i can remember when it was gravel and I drove it in a 50 Chevy truck.. many yrs ago. Glad you had a safe ride. Enjoy following your travels. Stocky.
Enjoy what you have time for and gives you an excuse to go back. Arkansas is one place I hardly spent any time traveling. Thanks for taking me there.
Nice video, never ridden the pig trail , I must someday. Good to see Ben/Veteranbiker, watch him every morning!
OMG, the treehouse was epic!! My sister, brother-in-law, and I took a week-long motorcycle camping trip to the Ozarks a few years ago. The AR Grand Canyon was nice, but not like Cherohala nice. I had fun, but we were underwhelmed.
You didn't do it "wrong" in AR, but you did Oark, so a lot of right. The thing about AR is there are sooo many cool places to ride through and to that it would take a few months to get a large portion of it in. You DID pick a good time of year for the trip. BBB was fun the 2nd year they did it but after the 3rd year I haven't been back. The ride to and from Fayetteville was better than the event (I hate crowds!).
8:46 🤦🏻♀️ 11:19 awwww. Like how they were looking out and gave you the heads up. 13:44 adam is the man. Love his work and channel. So happy for him and the Mrs.
I'm sure the HD Trike is very interesting. Muscle memory, and changing what you KNOW works, lean, countersteer, etc. can really throw you for a loop. Push right go left really can freak a person out the first time! I tried a CanAm Spyder test ride. I was fighting the thing the whole time, but knew something was really cool about it. Once I started thinking ATV instead of MX bike, it got better. I did make the purchase, moving off of 2 wheels after over 45 years, trading in my Honda ST1300. I'm now on my 2nd Spyder, over 50k on them, and really enjoy the larger lane presence and comfort. Motor on Doodle, cool stuff as always from you!
Definitely missed some of the amazing riding we have to offer. Must come back and check it out.
Hi. I waetched most of your videos. I will watch all the others promise. I am not english speaker. I learnt a lot from you : english motorcycles trips and perseverance. You are amazing. I loved every task you have achieved. What impressed me more is the honesty the humbleness the courage. Please keep going. You are our light up on a hill.
Ha! You were there the weekend after I was. We did Eureka Springs, Mammoth Spring, Push Mountain Road, Magazine Mountain and the Pig Trail. Passed through Oark, but the store was not open on Tuesdays. Hit Catalapa General Sore the next day, but he closed up ten minutes before we got there. Also camped on the Buffalo River two nights. Great riding!
ex paramedic. (22years). Please don't stop at accidents. Its very dangerous adding to more problems. But please enjoy these great videos.( Liked and Subscribed).
I liked how you put your foot down while riding the trike. Old habits are hard to break.

Thanks for the great video Doodle. Great job on the trike. I'm 72 years old and have been riding since I was 14. I couldn't ride a trike the first time I tried a few years ago. Glad and grateful I can still ride 2 wheels. I have a daughter in Little Rock and I ride down from Iowa fairly often. Will have to check out some of your stops and ride the pig trail.
Thanks for the ride Doodle!
One of the great things about motorcycle rides is if you miss stuff it sets up another adventure to see it in the future on the next trip.
Growing up in SW Missouri and doing a lot of riding in Arkansas I can honestly say that if you've ridden the entire country then the Ozarks will be underwhelming. 7 is great if you're into carving twisty roads (and you can catch it without truck traffic clogging it up), and the ferry is a cool experience. Beyond that, at the end of the day, it's just curvy roads with a lot of trees.. If you do go back to catch the Arkansas Grand Canyon I recommend doing it while the leaves are changing colors
Minus 25 wind chill here in Canada. No riding here. Thank you for your video.
Thanks Doodle for taking us along. Beautiful area. Stay safe and stay awesome................................bye !!!
Doodle, you would really like my F-3S Spyder. The 2 wheels in the front Handel very well. The 1330 cc 3 banger moves out real nice. It has all the safety features too, ABS, Traction Control, Stability control, cruse control. This thing is like a formula 1 race car on the street! If you liked the 3 wheel Harley, the Spyder is next level.
You only visited a small portion of the Ozarks. It's part of 5 states but is mostly located in Missouri and Arkansas and would be difficult to find all the gems in the few days you had. I'm from Southwest Missouri so it was nice to see you near my old stomping grounds. There are some fantastic roads around Branson, Missouri if you're ever in the mood to visit us hillbillies again.
Someone has probably already said this but there were several locations at BBBBQ. there was Pig Trail Harley, Eureka Springs harley, the convention center, and downtown Rogers.
7:47, that's me! Wrecked my RGS, my throttle got stuck (new bars and grips), and straightened my bike before making it out of the curve 🤦♀️. I was mad, I had rode the pig trail with my Indian challenger and the street bob prior to this wreck 😭. She's in the shop, and I'll be back on my 2 wheels. Meanwhile, I'm stuck on 18 wheels.
Well, Doods, you did something I have yet to do but plan to: ride a trike. And you did great! As you and VB parked at the Oark Cafe on the dirt parking lot, I thought, "Hey, you don't need a kickstand on a trike." Duh. I have had the Harley on a couple of different ferries in Wisconsin. Oh, and glad you connected with Adam - cool dude and love what he's done with the campground. As for the trip, I think if you had an extra day on the front end you would've been able to relax and enjoy a little more. But you've ridden some amazing roads; it's pretty tough to hold anything up to Cherohala or the Black Hills IMO, so you try to let each trip stand on its own. You'll never be able to do everything in a given location, so continue to connect with the people like you always have. That's what you tend to remember most anyway. Great post.
I’ve been in NWA almost two years and love to just get on my bike and find new roads to ride. So many nice rides here throughout AR. I enjoyed your video and it was nice to see you and Ben @VeteranBiker trading bikes for a bit. He’s a great guy and I loved his Roadglide he had, but I do think his trike is awesome too. Stay safe.
Made me nostalgic watching this. This area is close to where I used to live. I ate at that Cafe more than once. We used to ride four wheeler trails up there.
“I looked down at my throttle while I was turning trying to push it forward cuz I was going too fast” is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard someone say after crashing 🤯
It’s funny I’m watching your video and realize I’m wearing my Pig Trail Highway 23 T-shirt I got years ago up there, love eastern Oklahoma and on into Arkansas, living in north Texas it’s not far to get into pretty country up there thanks for taking us along!
I don't know what to say...I liked the Ozark national forest and the "Pig tail" routes - very scenic and layed-back. I live in the upper Midwest, so this BBQ rally sort of closes out my riding season.
The BBQ Rally was in Fayetteville Ar for years then was pushed out for unknown reasons. Rogers stepped it and is working to keep it in Northwest Arkansas give them a chance and Rogers will make it happen and be better. Also come to the Steel Horse Rally in May in Fort Smith Ar.
Thanks for another interesting video. I can’t imagine riding over 50 miles without a backrest. I don’t know how people do it.
Girl, when you said "the campsite" I didn't expect that. VERY NICE!!!
Great, fun video. I hadn't seen your Triumph adventure bike. What a fantastic bike. The perfect size for the street and some mild off roading. That place you stayed at the end of the video was extremely cool. Room in a treehouse. So cool. Trikes are great vehicles, but most have to be driven slower than regular bikes to be safe. Those 1700 lb ones were bad as heck. Can you imagine how hard it would be to turn those around in a parking lot? I liked your friends veterans Harley trike too. Harley really promoted this platform when nobody else would. Much respect to Harley for doing that.
The blue ridge mountains are bigger and prettier, but in all my rides out to Oklahoma from My Tennessee home, I've quite enjoyed the reminder of my mountains in west Arkansas.
I go to Oark Cafe quite often. Catalpa Cafe, a few miles on further, is great as well. Highway 123 is a nice curvy road, with part of it being dubbed the Arkansas Tail of the Dragon(a little too hairpinny..). A ride to Mount Magazine(within sight of my house) has great views. There are several roads around Jasper, AR, and the Buffalo River that are nice as well.
Me and my brother were in his pickup, we where behind a person on a motorcycle for a while, then we came up to a red light, the biker stopped and then just fell over, we got out and helped him pick it up, found out that it was a friends bike, his trike was in the shop, not use to putting his feet down when stopped.

I'm a trucker and if you're looking for some place beautiful to ride your gonna have to go northwest. My favorite place in the country is i-90 through north idaho.
I grew up on the pig trail. I have rode up and down the pig trail more times than I can remember. Its still one of my most favorite rides to take. during the fall its absolutely beautiful. Its a great ride and stopping at Ozark Cafe is a must. They have the best peanut butter pie I think I have ever had there. As for BBB when they had it in Fayetteville it was a lot bigger. They had tons of venders, poker rides, and to me it was a better rally than it is since it has oved to Rogers.
Really Nice Trip Doodle, Been a Minute....good to see you are doing well! Cheers!
Laconia is having its 100th Anniversary Bike Meet this year. Personally I've never been, but I'm considering going. Did a Goldwing Poker Run in the same area years ago. Which was kinda funny as we were one of the youngest couples on the oldest Goldwing (I had a 79' GL1000 w/a Vetter fairing). There's a lot of great roads here in NH to ride on. I live near the coast but I've ridden all the way up to the mountains on back roads and hi-ways.
One of these days, you should do a ride thru the Sierra Foothills. Start out in Folsom CA and end up at Lake Tahoe and everywhere in between. The whole area is amazing. We have a "baby dragon" called Salmon Falls Rd outside Folsom, CA and then HWY 49. Go mid-week to miss the traffic and end up looping around Lake Tahoe.
You went K River . That's on my bucket list. Your cabin looked really comfortable. Be following your cross country trip.
Doodle's, as aways a pleasure and thank you for sharing. Safe enjoyable riding till next time girl 👌✌️.
Another great vid showcasing your adventures around the country Doodle! Thanks for sharing. ✌️😃🏍
I have been to that rally several times and it spread out and not just in one place Fayetteville downtown is what you were looking for. A Strip of bars and shops and bikes going by at all hours.
Best wishes from Ireland, I love your Videos and the different Trips that you take on alone, Your a inspiration to all motorcycle riders , male and female.
If you think trikes take some getting used to, I highly recommend trying a sidecar rig. Urals are my personal favorite sidecar bike. If you like unique and interesting restaurants and are near Central Illinois I would suggest checking out the Moonshine Illinois general store.
You needed to go south into Missouri; Table Rock Lake, Branson, Silver Dollar City (has one of the best cave tours I've been on) & one of the coolest Bass Pro Shops in the country, they have a huge fish tank and have divers go down and feed the fish by hand, you can witness in a huge glass see through "pond". Arkansas also has the Walmart Museum, two American gun manufactures (Wilson & Nighthask which you can tour) and a really cool place with a river driven mill called War Eagle. Try again!
I really thought that was a rude move of just pulling in front of Doodle. I’m thankful that she has a great demeanor. I would have made a remark . Just so happy to see Doodle GO! I am the Father of 3 young women Doodles age and it makes me so proud that young woman that Carrie’s the same Taino blood that I do is out there making all of us Parents proud. Bendiciones Doodle.
Beautiful scenery ty for the ride
The Ozarks can be beautiful, and Highway 7 would be a fun ride, but if you want amazing views and good turns Million Dollar Highway in Colorado is number 1 on my list. The Four Corners Rally happens on Labor Day weekend in Durango, CO., which is just south of the MDH and a pretty fun rally.
That guy is right. Some people buy new bikes or are new riders and they go out riding in tricky places right away. Too risky.
You should check out Queen Wilhelmina scenic drive, it's best to go in the fall when the leaves turn different colors.
What a great ride. Nothing like sleeping in a tree house. Thank you for letting us tag along 👍
