Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

Good Luck with the new Adventure/Dual Sport club. I live just far enough away that attending a meeting on Tuesday evenings isn't practical for me. I hope you put together some weekend activities in the future.

I will try to show up. It's a ways from home but shouldn't be too hard to sneak out early and get down there.

Good meeting guys! We had a really good time. It was nice to meet more local riders and hear all about the Dakar race! Already looking forward to next months. It was surprising just how many people showed up. :D I can't wait for some group rides to start up. 8)

Hi Guys,

Thanks again to Mike, Luis and Scott for taking the time to share their Dakar experiences with us!

Our next TAR meeting will be April 3rd, 7:00 at Pizza Shoppe, 13612 Washington Ave. After discussion with several of you, we've decided that rather than have a speaker in April, we will use the meeting to discuss the future direction of TAR, group rides and of course, social.

Several of you expressed an interest in the Arkansas 500 so I've pasted their webpage below. Both of us are riding but it would be great if we could take a group down there.

Let us know if you have any questions and look forward to seeing everybody in April!

Second meeting is tonight. We thought we would socialize a little and maybe talk about recent rides we have been on and a possible future ride and meeting ideas. Hope to see everybody there.
