Great questions. I’m wondering the same things.
Arkansas has some very steep terrain in parts. Surely they’ve looked for signs of an accident?

MOO, I’d guess from the license plate that he was visiting from out of state. He may be originally from the area if he felt confident about a night ride, though.

My thoughts as well...
Harley Davidson Road King with Texas license plate 757 V3F.

He has medical conditions, along with a night ride in mountainous terrain. I think he has likely had a wreck somewhere. MOO

I hope they have searchers out looking.

 

[UnapologeticallyAspie]

A night ride? I wonder if alcohol (or worse) had any influence in that terrible idea?!!? MOO.
