Thanks for that - it's just to get a picture in head. Thanks again

Go to Google Maps.
Use street view and ride it!
Tis what I've done on several twisties in OZ that I have read about from Mates.

Decided to ride to Eureka springs, Arkansas this weekend with the wife, she crashed on highway 23, aka The Pig Trail. Fractured her distal clavicle and cracked a few ribs. She's gonna make it I think. Scary ordeal for sure to be several hours from home with no truck. Poor ole Rocket took a lil beating as well. Gonna need a radiator, shifter/ foot peg bracket. Left head light and mirror, though! Feeling very fortunate that she wasn't hurt worse. Two of my buddies wives have crashed on that highway and didn't get to come home for a couple of weeks. Her helmet and leather jacket definitely saved her from more injury.

PM me your address - I have a stock headlamp & left mirror you are welcome to have :thumbsup:

Please can someone enlighten us UK members - can you give us an idea of what Pig Trail is like? Thanks in advance

The "Pig Trail" is a scenic highway route in rural Arkansas through mountainous areas. For the most part, it is a fairly basic road except for the Southern end that reaches Interstate 40. This stretch features a series of switch-backs and blind hairpin curves with some steep drop offs. It is not a road for beginners...

Thanks for the advice - don't know why I didn't think of that. Can I blame stress

Sorry to hear of the crash. Most important wife is doing well. Wishing your wife and you a speedy recovery.
