    Default Branson Trip

    My friend and I will be leaving Denver for Branson, MO Saturday. He on his Goldwing Trike and me on my 2010 RT-S. I have a little over 9K on the speedo. Last week I started the trike and it started in limp mode. My dealer, RPM Motor Sports installed a new throttle body today. Picked it up from the shop and it runs beautifully. The trike has been pretty trouble free so far on several trips this year. July trip to Bear Tooth and Red Lodge, MT, Idaho, Utah, the Tetons and back to Denver. Then to Sturgis. I'm hoping to be trouble free on this trip. Have not heard much about throttle bodies shutting down. A couple of mentions on Spyder Lovers. Great forum. Kudos to RPM Motor Sports. They have been great to deal with.

    Three of us, two on RT's, are also leaving sat from central NC and taking a leisurely non-interstate route to Branson. Prob get there sometime Monday. If you see a Red & Blue RT and a white Suz scooter, give me a shout.

    A great place to stay near Branson is the Cruise Inn in Kimberling City.

    We go to Branson a couple times a month. We live just 57 miles from Branson West. Lots of things to see and do there.

    Man you got to go down into Arkansas and ride Hwy 7 or Hwy 23 out of Harrison Arkansas. Hwy 7 is on top of the mountain and 23 is at the bass.

    We will be there Tues, Wed, Thurs. We will be staying at the KOA. Rented a cabin. I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm riding a 2010 black RT-S. My friend is riding a red Goldwing trike. Hope we can meet up.

    Lucky you! This will be my first. We will be going through Springfield just to eat at Tiny's barbecue place. I forget the name exactly but we'll find it. Been there a few years ago and liked it. Pretty excited to get to Branson.

    Just checked the map. It's real close to Branson. It's only 3/4 of an inch away! > If things work out we can do that. We have no specific plans so we are playing it by ear.

    We live 8 or 10 miles west of Eureka Springs, so all of our rides are good ones. :-)

    While you are in Branson be sure to go eat at McFarland's. They have really good fried green tomatoes and their open face roast beef sandwich is to die for.
