I've done it a couple times, but on 450 type bikes. Not sure what you're riding, but would assume something bigger if bringing a passenger. I don't think it would be very comfortable for her, and it's held rain or shine. I'd suggest sending a PM to Scotty on ADV to ask him directly. I think he usually has some "big bike" detours planned.If you've never ridden in AR, do it!!
I may be able to hit the Arkansas 500. Anyone ridden this before? My wife will want to be on the back, can't leave her at home. Wonder if they allow that?

I dont know how capable you are with a passenger but there are some pretty knarly sections.If you've never ridden in AR, do it!!

There are some big bike go rounds and you definitely want to take those. Ian Love and i tried going through on ktm 890s and eventually turned around on one section when the river rocks got so big we could not continue. Like 1.5 ft and bigger diameter. It would have been fun on smaller bikes. If it rains the tracks can also be slick as there is little gravel on some sections.

At some point they're not.Huge rocks doesn't sound like my idea of fun on any bike!
With the wife on back, sounds like I need to reconsider. No sense in beating up my passenger, me or the bike. This is supposed to be fun, right?
Like I said, get ahold of Scotty directly. He usually had routes for big bikes/adventure types as well.With the wife on back, sounds like I need to reconsider. No sense in beating up my passenger, me or the bike. This is supposed to be fun, right?
