To All You Okies Out There...

[mjptexas]

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  Come up in Oct , the weather will be cool , probably wet at times , good food , good folks

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  Odd thing is , almost as many Texans , Arkansans, Coloradans, Kansans, and New Mexicans were in that migration, so it may be a bit inaccurate

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

Until you try to steal our water!

NO!  Okie is an insult.  And knowing Mike, he meant it.

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

Don't know that I could survive spending that much time in Oklahoma.

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.

Consider it a friendly insult.   

[LowRyter]

Consider it a friendly insult.   

well considered.   

just no more "victory" texts when I have a chunked tire and broken down in the middle of the no where riding from Okie (damn word) Campout.

Consider it a friendly insult.   

  Mike , some of my best friends are Texans ... no really 

 We have at least 5 Texans at the Okie every year , hoping for more this year . Heck , 2 even made the journey all the way to Cedar Vale this year , we fed them and everything
