A BIG thank you to "Gary The Badger"

[frank3]

Went to Eureka Springs, AK with a group of 6 other ridders last Friday, returning Sunday. While there, went down to the "Bikes, Blues and BBQ" motorcycle rally in Fayetteville. Per instructions from Gary the Badger, went over to the area around the Baum Stadium, told them at the gate that "I was with the BRP display and they directed me into the restricted area. I was one of only 4 private bikes inside the restricted area. Great display by BRP and a local Can-Am dealer. They had several RS and RT models there and people linned up for test rides. Saw a new 2011 RT in the new (what I call Gun Metal) color. GREAT color. It had the shorter windshield but as it was a prototype, it didn't have the shorter wind deflectors on the sides but still retained the 2010 style. I had already shortened my windshield and was anxious to see the 2010 deflectors so was dispointed. Meet Gary and 2 other RT owners and browsed the displays. I was wowed by Gary's hospitality. Left there and rode the "Pigs Trail" (Highway 23) back up to Eureka Springs. During the weekend, also had a chance to ride State Route 62 north on Eureka Springs. Really great ridding, I highly recommend it to all. :2thumbs:
Thanks again to "Gary The Badger".:2thumbs:

finally got a chance to post a few pictures from Bikes, Blues & BBQ.

One here of Gary training a new spyder ryder

and one of the BRP area

Thank you to BRP in letting us park there, was very handy considering how bad the parking was. Very nice to just pull into the middle of the area and not have to walk a mile or two to park.

Have to say, Gary was all over the place talking to people in the BRP area. They should be giving him a commission He spent a lot of time answering questions (think we all did, but that was fun).

have some more pics in the album, if anyone is interested. For some reason I didn't get very many pictures, especially considering how much time we spent walking Dixon street where everyone was cruising.

Was nice to meet Frank and Maurice (think that was his name, very sorry if I got it wrong). We also saw a few other spyders around, but didn't get a chance to meet their ryders.
