Well, in my humble opinion, I think the real reason that Bob rode a fast, nimble, mid-weight ADV-bike like the Tiger 800 across Texas is that he had to dodge these unpredictable critters:

Riding in TX is a trip...2 lane roads are as smooth as a desk top...s‎peed limit is posted 75 mph. If you aren't doing 85+ you WILL get your ass run over. I found rabbits and cruised more often than not 90-100 mph. Other drivers are very considerate...they will move over to the shoulder to give you a passing lane. This is unheard of in Colorado for sure....you gotta love Texas...hahaha You can make fantastic time clocking miles but fuel mileage seriously sucks at those speeds. Small price to pay when you move the fun meter up the scale...hahaha I saw more LE in LA in 3 hours than I did riding in TX over my first 3 days...

You and I rode alot of the same roads. I took 25 to Raton and then 287 down to 380 and over through Denton to 69 to Tyler. From there over to Monroe Louisiana. Then back to Dallas and up 287.

Going down I took Hwy 287 to Amarillo and over to Childress. Then Hwy 83 South to Anson East on 180 over to Albany the 283/87 South to Fredericksburg. I forget the route to Houston as I followed another rider from there but we did bump on the Interstate at some point. Coming back home I hooked up on 63 in Jasper, TX then 69 though Tyler. Hwy 380 from Greenville to 114 West and then 83 North in Guthrie back up to Hwy 287 in Childress.

 

I forget the route you told me as I plans changed right before leaving to meet up with a rider in Hill Country.

I just returned from a very enjoyable road trip to the Gulf Coast covering just under 4,000 miles. I am not able to go on the overnight but if there are some riding a portion on Saturday I think I can swing that. ‎One of my other bikes could use some exercise and attention. My 2013 Tiger will be a year old Saturday and it rolled over to 18,000+ miles on my way home last Saturday...I think I may be riding it too much and I'm going to wear it out...hahaha

I must have missed the details of the Spring overnight, can someone let me know when/where we'll be leaving from? I have other family committments Saturday afternoon but I'd like to ride at least part way with the group.
