April 23-26, 2015. Registrations must be received by April 15. Cost is just $30 and includes an event t-shirt and dinner at the banquet/awards ceremony Saturday evening.
http://www.ozarkratraid.com/

This years raffle bike has not been posted yet so I'll update this post when it is. This year YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN IT. Tickets can be purchased at the event.

Last year we had 11 of us from 675.net for 3 to 5 days of great riding on some of the best (and sparsely patrolled ) roads in the country. (the year before we had 10 from 675.net)
This event draws Triumph riders of all kinds from around the country, not just the central US. Four years ago, Jazman from 675.net won the raffle bike! Some group rides are offered but most riders (like us) will break into our own groups and go where we want. The only 'scheduled' activity you need to plan around is being back at the hotel by 5:30 Saturday for the banquet. Evenings are typically hanging around the bikes in the parking lot, or a campfire at the hotel back lot. This isn't some biker rally. Its all bout getting out and riding.

Feel free to ask questions about the event below and one of us MOKANARs will answer as best we can.

HOTEL INFORMATION IS LISTED TWO POSTS BELOW:

In the post below, I'll list the role call of those attending from 675.net. Just so we have an idea who is attending, either post up you ARE attending (after you have registered) or that you may be attending. ALSO LIST WHAT DAY YOU EXPECT TO ARRIVE

Hey Y'all, I'm planning to show up and ride with y'all, on Saturday, 4/25. Hopefully my rear tire will last more than 1/2 a day.

Looking forward to it...

A short clip of Hwy123, from last fall.

Can y'all confirm the if the bike raffle is "Must be present to win"?

I won't make the banquet as I have 2 other obligations that Sat. Night. :stupid: and am trying to decide if I want to register or just by a Tshirt.

Planning to ride Sat am and split after lunch. May get to ride Friday but not sure yet.

Thx...nlp

If the weather forecast is correct, Friday's rain will make everyone's bike dirty... Planning to see y'all Saturday, maybe Friday.

Washed the StRiple last week and installing PR3's this week. Looking to add a tank bag and probably sell my Triumph tail bag. :thumbup:

After a nice ride to work this morning...

Friday looks like rain for sure.

Borrow a truck and hit some water falls. Here is some video from Triple Falls from a few weeks back. The hike is a piece of cake but the drive isn't accessible by Street Triple.

Then head down 123 and catch some waterfalls. Hawcreek, Packrat and Pam's Grotto. All easy hikes. These 3 are all close together and accessible by Street Triple but you'll be crossing a creek on a cement low water bridge. If the water is too high, you'll have to park and wade.

Y'all made any plans for the morning?

I'm good until about 2:30pm and then I'll have to head home, for a couple of family events.

Thx...nlp

NOW I remember how much biotching Neanderthal did when his stator was on order. :rant:

I'm probably late to the party but just in case, there was a rectifier recall. Also, assuming you have checked with other dealerships to see if they have the part sitting on their shelf.

Good Luck...nlp
