We pulled out of Hot Springs at 7:30 a.m. Class 2 start time. It was a perfect morning for riding. You know, the kind with cool air and calmness before all the daily commuters mess things up. We headed toward Ola, AR on Highway 7. We rode the same road yesterday and it is a motorcyclist’s dream, but not ideal for a Servi Car. There were multiple elevation changes with long sweepers and tight switchbacks. It’s funny when I look back at that road; I swear I was either fully opened or completely closed on the throttle, nothing in-between. We made our way to Mount Magazine State Park. I took a couple of pics from one of the viewing areas and have attached them below. We were also issued our quiz at this point and I felt I did poorly. We headed back down the mountain in a northwest direction and soon crossed into Oklahoma. It was again extremely challenging roads with 90 degree turns every 500 yards or so. It’s like the roads ran along property lines or something like that. The condition of the roads were below average and these 90’s were not banked at all. Instead of being exhilarating, it was exhausting trying to navigate them at any speed on the Servi Car. Once I broke free from that nightmare, it was clear sailing onto our secret destination of Muskogee, OK.
