Title: 250 miles on the Bandit today (with pics)
Post by: StangMATA on July 15, 2007, 10:40:48 PM
Tested out our iron asses today. A random morning ride turned into one hell of an adventure.

The W. San Antonio roads were very twisty and had some pretty harsh grades to them. Took it a lot easier with Heather on the back, but still got her down into the turns.  :thumbup I'll let the pics do the talkin.

I had Heather hop off and take a couple of wheelie pics.

Take 1

Just for fun

If you're ever up that way, highway 16 and RR337 are a pretty scenic ride :thumbup

Umm, Texas is HUGE, there's a LOT of scenery for sure. Maybe my sarcasm meter is broken.

Nice pics, I miss home.

You've not been around Texas much...   :welcome:

While your out there try 335,  336  and 39 too.  Then head off to East Texas.  Great stuff out there as well.

Kansas + scenery = ?????????????

I know when I was in Northern Texas, scenery and good roads were very far away.

Head towards the OK/AR and MO/AR borders, there's some good riding and scenery around there.

I know about the OK/AR area.  My in-laws live in that area and there is definitely some good riding around there.  Only problem was that it was 6 hours away from where I lived at that time.
