I'm not sure I care to ride arond Tx any more...  :'(

The Texas arond is one critter that needs to be ridden with spurs.  Put some spurs on and ride around on an arond.

I find the arond to be quite tasty, slow smoked over hickory, and with a nice jalapeno RUB!!

Nice thing about our freedoms.  If you guys don't like riding Texas roads, you have the freedom to move where you do enjoy them.  We won't necessarily miss you.

After my trip to Virginia, I'm starting to feel like Texas needs to catch up. The ride we took to Luray, VA from Fredericksburg, VA kicked Cranberries. And It just got better from there all the way down the BRP and over to the Dragon. Now that was one serious damn road. I'd seen pics and vids, but you have no idea until you get there.

haha...

"We won't necessarily miss you" is pretty defensive.  We're talking about the roads.  Granted, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky made us feel like movie stars, but thats another subject. 

We went through 14 states and the roads here don't compare.  Pavement or views.  I've ridden to Alaska as well and I think I enjoyed this trip more since we never went through large towns.

That was West Virginia.  I can honestly say that they are the weirdest people I have ever met.  The state is AMAZING, but I will not be visiting it again for a while.

I wasn't referring to the movie, just the weirdness factor.  I've never seen the movie...just heard everything about it.

We only met a handfull of people there and they were out there.

I thnk that comes from Lovin their sisters.  ;D I have always found people from Florida to be a bit dense or should I say different.
I'm headed East myself next trip. I'll always love the hill country but I'm tired of riding for a day to get there when I can ride for a day in the other direction and go through 2 or 3 states and see something different.  O0

God just saw fit to make some of us different. I go to Denver, and back east, often enough for me. I love to ride the mountains, but I cant wait to get home. I have been from coast to coast and got to admit I love it all, but that wide open panhandle 2 lane does it for me. In the mountains I slowly get pissed at all the curves, and 25-30mph roads. Back east its all those damn trees cluttering up the scenery. The forever closed in feeling of seldom being able to see beyond the ditch.
I can handle the open sea, or the open plains, just fine. I can deal with the rest of it for as long as necessary. I know I'm home when I can  let that fat girl clear her lungs and push those 3 digits for 50mi at a time.
To most my area is a long boring place to cross as quickly as possible, Same here, but I love crossing it at a good clip. I get bored with  never ending curves, and trees, and AppleSauce splat towns, every 5 miles.
