Ozark Mountain Scramble


From Captain Awesome at Mulligan Machine...

I figured you guys might be able to post this up on your blog and get the word out to other like minded budget builders/riders. Inspired by the 555 for the past few years, me and a buddy decided to start a similar run of our own. The route has been chosen, and will be a 3 day scramble throughout the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Anyone who meets the criteria below are welcome to join. We decided to change some things up a bit, but the initial concept is the same as the 555.

* 1980 or older motorcycle
* spend less than a total of $1000 on the purchase, build and prep
* total displacement of motorcycle cannot exceed 750cc

From Travis in Portland...

i *ucking love your guys' style. Thanks for the tip on Johnny Alpha, he plays the best music to ride to. Anyways me and some mates are doing this trip called the 555.
Older than 1975, under 500cc and under 500 bucks. Last year we made it all the way to the east coast from Portland, Oregon. heres the link from last year's trip

Heres the one for this year's trip. It's a little different however. we are flying into detroit with out any bikes bought yet and trying to ride them home. gonna be awesome.
it would be cool if you could post a link for our blog this year. we will be updating daily about how many plugs fouled and fuses blown! (see one rider's toolkit above. Love the Famous Grouse.)
