Travel to Little Rock, Arkansas
This trip was a little different, we drove Liz’s Durango R/T, towing her brand-new sharkskin blue 2024 Harley-Davidson RG3. The road to Little Rock felt shorter knowing we were rolling in with a fresh set of wheels ready to be broken in.
Sign says Welcome to Arkansas and the song on the radio is “A Little Past Little Rock” by Lee Ann Womack and Jason Sellers. Who did that?!!!
Meet and Greet at Fraternal Order of the Eagles In Little Rock, Arkansas
We stopped at the hotel, got checked in, and then unloaded her trike. We had no idea where we were, where we were going, and we didn’t have a backrest for the trike.
Liz has been riding a CanAm and is new to the clutch so she insisted I ride the bike while she held on for dear life on the back.
We rode from the hotel over to the meet and greet at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles in the rain. We got stuck in traffic and it made both of us uneasy since we were parked on a series of bridges on the highway surrounded by 18-wheelers. So, I looked around and decided to make a quick exit from the highway.
From there, we asked around and found an alternate route through town. It wasn’t the best, but we both felt more comfortable. The lot was full of old friends, new introductions, and that familiar CVMA® camaraderie that makes the miles worthwhile.
Liz and I got to enjoy several rounds of Karaoke while we spent time with everyone.

Bike Night at Fraternal Order of the Eagles in Little Rock, Arkansas
Saturday was all about Bike Night. Liz’s RG3 turned more than a few heads as we parked among the rows of chrome and custom builds. Stories flowed as freely as the music and laughter, and once again we were reminded that the real highlight of these rallies isn’t the ride, it’s the people.

Packing Up and Heading Home
By Sunday morning, it was time to pack up the Durango, load the bike, and head for home. Another rally complete, another chapter in our journey together.
On the way out of town, we stopped for a photo at the National Cemetery.
Visiting with Uncle Frank, My cousin Kereigh, and her husband Walter
We stopped in Russellville to visit with Uncle Frank, my cousin Kereigh and her husband Walter. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch together and had several laughs.
