Spent the weekend riding AR back roads. Using the lumbering cruisers as rolling road cones through the curves was a hoot. Weather was perfect: 40's in the AM and 70's in the PM. Sunny all the time. Unexpectedly met friends when refueling 1 and 2 states away. Small and wacky world. Shot over to Robbers Cave where the lady bugs were so thick they looked like pollen in the air. Delayed our return by a few hours when we pulled over to help a stranded bike on s-bound 75 (15 mi n of the Tx border). Their alternator had died and they tried everything while watching scores of "Harleys" (read black leather-clad cruiser types) pass them by without a hint of stopping. Couldn't replace their alternator by a parts run was made to get them a battery so they could get the bike down the road and parked (to return and pick up today). We then escorted them 2-up on their remaining bike until they were back within spittin' distance of their home before splitting off and heading for the house ourselves. More later.
