2023 Dick Russell Memorial Rally - Mountain View, AR. May 4th - 7th, 2023. Hosted by the Yamaha 650 Society.

[desmoman900]

The Yamaha 650 Society's yearly peregrination to the Ozarks.
Daily rides around one of the best riding regions in the USA. Rally headquarters at the Ozark Folk Center State Park in Mountain View, AR. Great food, bench racing and the best group of lunatics ever assembled! We usually have meals together but everybody’s welcome to do their own thing. Mountain View is in a dry county so bring your adult beverage of choice and a lawn chair. It helps during overnight transmission replacements.

Book your rooms by calling 1-870-269-3851 & choose #1 to get a “real person”. Use the Group ID #677781 to book your room. There are 2 rooms per bungalow and the Park has reserved a set of bungalows for us. Members are responsible for their own travel arrangements.

I am planning to again this year. My son is hell bent on joining us too. I was impressed with the accomodations and thought the rates were very reasonable. I shouldn't have clutch issues this year and Ben's bike is getting new floats that float this winter.

What day do most people get there?

Late Weds or early Thurs is popular.

I think we got rained out on Thursday 2022 and worked on bikes instead, in the vending lobby.

Well, this event is the one annual "gotta be there" for me, so I'm definitely planning to attend. I'm very much looking forward to seeing old friends once again and meeting some new ones! My son will also be there - with his own bike this year instead or riding one of mine. See you guys there!

Just because I have loud pipes (more muffled since last year) doesn't mean I can match your pace...
