To All You Okies Out There...
« on: July 06, 2016, 10:56:45 AM »
I guess I have to take back at least some of the things I've said about Oklahoma.  I rode State Hwy 1 on my way to the Ozarks last Friday.  What a GREAT road!.  Who would have ever thought you would see this in Oklahoma:

Is "Okie" still a deragatory term or is it a term of endearment?  Only those from Oklahoma should answer. Just curious from a Hoosier.

 So Mike , you are aware that we have the Okie camp out at the West end of the Talimena Drive , or highway 1 as it says on the map . The area is full of great roads , with almost no traffic  :thumb: Come up in Oct , the weather will be cool , probably wet at times , good food , good folks  :bow:

Thanks for the invite Dusty.  I'll have to give that serious consideration.

 We use it to define ourselves , although Merle got it wrong ... completely  :laugh: Odd thing is , almost as many Texans , Arkansans, Coloradans, Kansans, and New Mexicans were in that migration, so it may be a bit inaccurate  :laugh:

Plenty of members around the area, don't be such a stranger next time! We're even nice to Texans most of the time!

I think I had better insults for the ex-neighbor.  He is an "Okie" but rides an HD Ultra.  :evil:  I told him that Honda makes better cars.  :evil: :evil:

Wish I'd have had the chance!  I was a tag along on the ride, as one of my riding buddies planned it.  I didn't even know I was going to be able to make the trip until about 18 hours before kickstand up.
