Nice Road in Arkansas

[SlowOldGuy]

Here's a road we always hit when in Arkansas.  It's a 300+mile day, but definitely worth the trip!

AR341 N 6-8-12.mp4

David, that's one heck of a nice road........ does no one live in Arkansas - seems like the road was deserted except for you guys and one truck right at the end of the 15 mins.

Cheers

Harvy,
It's a really great road (compared to anything around here).  The low traffic is why we go during the week.  That was last Friday.  I usually like to hit it on Thursday (even less crowded).

The best part:  I've NEVER seen a LEO on that road.  :-)

Great piece of road! And nice riding!

Thanks Alan.

It's a really great ride if you can find the rhythm of the road.

Allow me to elaborate on the video.  As I was watching the guy in front of me, I noticed he was turning in too early.  When he waved me by, I held back a little trying to show him a wider entrance line.  I don't think he was getting it.

I'd like to say I then "ran down" the other guy.  In reality, he's ridden enough with me to know that if he runs away, he won't get any camera time.  He was actually waiting for me to catch up. 

I also need to say that we were taking it a little easy.  He and I got popped back in October up there and we're still on deferred adjudication. So we were "trying" to keep it near the speed limit.  :-)

"There's not really a technique," Elliott explained in court. "I've been measuring speeds all my life.... There's no guessing about it. It's an estimation based on tracking history and my training and experience."

The deputy tripped up when the prosecutor asked Elliott how far away Sowards's vehicle had been when Elliott began that tracking history. Elliott testified he saw the car 100 yards away.

Prosecutor:
And how many feet are in a hundred yards?
Elliott:
There's 12 feet in a yard.
Prosecutor:
So 300 feet?
Elliott:
Correct.
Judge:
How many feet are in a yard?
Elliott:
How many feet? There's 12 feet in a yard.
Court:
Well, do you know what a yardstick is?
Elliott:
Yes, sir.
Court:
How many inches in a yardstick?
Elliott:
Well, on a yardstick there's 12 inches. Well, it depends on the yard stick that . . . you have.
