A little more useless local trivia.
The Undercliff was a store in the 30s and a restaurant back in the 60s known as "Frank and Bonnie's" which was a good place to get spaghetti or fried chicken. It was even smaller then; trapped against the cliff, and only had about six tables. As a child I remember we called it "Bonnie and Clyde's" due to other local notoriety. On the red and white checked vinyl tablecloths, they had large green glass jugs of chilled water topped with odd gravity valves on every table so customers could fill their own water glasses. We drove there after church on Sundays in the 56 Plymouth and my dad always yelled at me for playing with the water bottle valves.

It is rumored Bonnie and Clyde stopped here for gas.

Alright, Oklahoma is next on the list, and I'm thinking Grove. Dusty says that the Second Kick motorcycle museum there us pretty cool, and has an in house eatery. I'll need to check on their hours, but does anyone have any objections to that spot?

Last time Doug and I were there the menu consisted of nothing but coneys . There is a bonus visiting Second Kick , one of the main figures involved in the operation worked for Triumph here in the states , his scrap book is amazing . You might need to mention knowing the crazy guy on the R 60 from Muskogee to gain access to the scrapbook . I am kinda busy with some things until after the Okie , likely won't make any day rides until after that event . Maybe schedule a visit to Grove later this year , or next Spring .

There is no reason that you couldn't eat after going to the museum?

There's bar and grill on Grand Lake called the Parrot Steakhouse and Grill. Burgers basket is probably $10 or less.

Just a suggestion.

Sounds like a fine idea to me.

Ok, I have to issue an apology, here. After looking it up, it turns out that Clanton's is closed on Sundays, as well. However, Parrot Steakhouse and Grill in Grove, OK, which was the other eatery suggestion, is open from 11 am to 9 pm. If that still works for you guys, then I'll lock it in.

Again, apologies for the flip flopping. I forgot to check on Sunday hours, first. I could just take a point for that Saturday, but I'm already taking off Friday and Saturday for the MOKAN, the next weekend.

So, I've scoured this post looking for a date/time to meetup. Also an address. Anyone?

LowRyter · « **Reply #100 on:** September 04, 2019, 10:43:40 PM »

Guys, don't make plans on my account, I am "iffy" at best. I only suggested the place because we were heading to the museum and wanted a bite to eat. It's an OK place. A bar and grill in town on the lake that has OK burgers. Other than that, not really noteworthy.

It's 3 1/2 hours from my house and I plan to be home NLT 5. I have a cousin that lives there, I might spend Saturday night there but I'm not leaving late Sunday because I have a Sunday evening family dinner.

If we can't make it Saturday, has anyone called the museum and asked that they open it on Sunday?

Guys, do what you like. Just providing some suggestions. Sunday is my most limited travel day.

JC85 · « **Reply #101 on:** September 05, 2019, 11:14:43 AM »

Ok guys, after giving it some thought, I dont think I'm going to make it, this time. I've just got way too much on my plate, this month, and will already be running my butt off every weekend, on top of working overtime. These meetups aren't about me, though, so I'm going to go ahead and just go back to the original plan, since it sounded like the most fun.

So the September meetup will be Saturday, September 14th at Second Kick Motorcycle Works in Grove, OK. Plan to meet there at noon, and then the attendees can decide where to eat, after the museum. Have a fun time and a safe ride, guys! Hope to see you at the next one!

Also, I'm going to delete some of my earlier posts to avoid confusion about the place and time. John, you may want to do the same on the one with the Parrot Steakhouse address.

I might make it if timing chain holds out, but title says Vinita.

Wednesday bump. It looks like we may actually get this Saturday off, so there's a good chance that I'll make it. How many others? If there are going to be more than a few of us, I'll call and let the guy know ahead of time.

I'll be in Misery, er, Missouri on Saturday. Sorry to miss this one.

I'll try to follow Darren if he doesn't go too fast.

Well, notice was just posted, today. Apparently, management overruled my foreman and said they want my department working, this weekend. Which makes perfect sense, given that we're already slow enough that my partner and I spent all day sweeping floors, today, and will probably do the same, tomorrow.

According to my foreman, though, he's trying to get them to agree to only having the people who actually have projects to work on come in, so theres still a possibility.

Sounds like a good time overtime deal. Someone's cleaning up (more than the floors).

If it were a random one off, I'd be happy about it. Considering that weve been on 9 hour shifts plus 8 on Saturdays for most of the last 2 months, though, I'd rather have my frickin' weekend off.

Sheesh! wORK! I have to drive to hot springs in the morning, take about 100 pictures of a staircase and drive home.
