 :thumbup: Went there 12/08. All roads good. Going again 4/10. Highly recommended!

+2 for the twisted sisters. The Mrs. and I did them for the second of a three day, 900 mile back roads ride two weeks ago.

Either way, go west young man, go west! Stay on the west side of I-35 as much and long as you can. East of I-35 can get pretty flat.

Better yet, ride sorta southwest until you get good 'n lost; Get directions and gas; Rinse and repeat. Later, you can try to figure out where the heck you were.

Have fun!

Nice looking bike, looks like it could be rode in the rain, Honda right  ;D 100% means it will rain, doesn't mean all day, could be 15 minutes

\"The moment you taste it, something wet and dark leaps on you and starts humping you like a swamp dog in heat, and the only way to get it off you is to eat it off, It\'s Gumbo!! If you don\'t eat it then the mystery beast will go right on humping you.

Back from the 4/10/09 trip to the Sisters,,, weather was gray/gloomy, all roads were good, save for rocks on road from some hills S bound on 335,,,

I have to agree with Demon,,, if starting out from Dallas,,, Arkansas would be a great area as it has some beautiful scenery/hills/lakes,,,

 I've jet-ski'ed many of the lakes, good stuff!!!

 Definately on my 'wanna take the X there' list,,,  :thumbup:
