3 hours and 15 minutes at the Hurst DMV! It took me maybe 30 minutes to actually take (and pass!) the test and fill out the papers. The rest of the time was spent waiting. I was pacing around with that new song, 'Let's Start A Riot', playing in my head.

Now I ask you, as the test asked me, "If you do not control your drinking, you should"

A. Wait 1 hour per drink before riding
B. Drink coffee to stay alert
C. Ride slower
D. Dance and jump around to make the effects of alcohol wear off

The answer is A. But if I'm not controlling my drinking, how am I gonna be in control my drinking to wait an hour per drink? Is it OK to ride drunk if I've been in control of my drinking or is it only bad if I've been loosing control of the bottle and pouring beer on my feet? :p

The test is on a touch screen with a phone receiver to hear the questions and answers read to you. The questions and answers are also on the screen. I think it was 20 questions. It says you can check your score as you go, but that feature didn't work on mine. I had the reflective clothing question appear twice, just worded differently each time. Your score is given to you on screen at the end of the test. I got a paper license at the DMV and my picture taken for a new license that will come to by mail in 3 weeks. I did not have to take the riding test since I had my certificate from MSF MTC. Good thing too. By 9 am, they had stopped giving the riding tests.

Well, I'm off to go bike shopping. :D

My two neighbors and I ride every Sunday. Ones got a Ducati Monster and the others on a Ninja. We mostly ride the hill country around lake Travis, but we are going to start makeing a Wimberly run aswell and we are open to any other suggestions.

I welcome all cruisers, sport bikes, motards, just NO MOPEDS LOL. So if you wanna ride then let me know. We all live in north Austin, but we can find a central meet up location.

It was a great ride. I didn't know this untill we got there, but the drag boat races in MarbleFalls was going on, so we stopped and watched for a little bit, then got back on the road.

Oh, and it was just my neighbor and I. (Tanto and the Loan Ranger) he was Tanto of course LOL

I had never taken Hamilton Pool Rd(962), and it was alright. about half of it had absolutly no traffic, and it was almost all straight, so I couldn't help but to open it up. The other half was a little twisty, but alot of traffic.

So far my favorite roads are Lime Creek and 1431, but I still have alot of exploreing to do.

rexmitchell

08-11-2008, 10:19 PM

be careful on 1431, you have to deal with the following law enforcement agencies, wilco, travis, state troopers, jonestown, and maybe leander/cedar park

Ramazith

12-05-2008, 05:51 PM

Most of my riding is to and from work with the occasional errand. I don't do much joy riding, save for riding being a joy of its own and have never done a group ride. We tried to get one going at work but schedule conflicts nixed that idea.

Not saying that I want to start a thing. Just that if there are a bunch of us rolling around here chances are we might cross paths anyway, so, I mean, maybe we could do that on purpose or something.

Just wondering how many DFW Texas riders we have here. Texas seems to have a large presence on the internet and it sure does have a lot of motorcycles.

Conleyevans

12-11-2008, 01:08 PM

unfortunately for me i couldn't afford a bike when i was there. but i would imagine that the ride out to granbury would be pretty sweet. early on a sunday so traffic was at a minimum. and heading out of town on 30w is good and flat. big sky too. when i was there i just frequented all the bike shops on 183 and drooled.

Ramazith

12-12-2008, 12:35 PM

What? You mean people move away from Texas? I'm one of those who isn't from Texas but got here as soon as I could. :cool:

Hi, sirgilbert357.

Take Hwy 377, Denton Hwy, north out of Keller in Tarrant county into Denton county. You'll come to FM 1171, Cross Timbers Rd. Go east. It's a little hilly and a little twisty. Fairly rural too. The pavement isn't all the best, but not real bad either. I rode it from the highway to a little ways into Flower Mound.

Looks like Denton Hwy and several of the FM roads along it would be nice rides. Probably more rural going west than east since east is towards Dallas.

I hear ya on the cold. In the high 20s the past few mornings. The Tips of my fingers get too cold to ride across the DFW in that.

Today though, I'm waiting for the tailor to call so I have an excuse to run errands. :p

Gaevren

12-13-2008, 05:03 PM

I hate living in Texas. Blasphemy I know! But my husband has atrocious allergies here, and neither of us handle the heat very well. We do excellently well in cooler weather and we both love snow. So it's a good move for us.

I will miss a couple things about Texas though. I'll miss my family...got a lot of em here. I'll miss year-round riding. And I'll miss year-round vegetable gardening. Still, the plusses to moving north for us outweigh the minuses. ;)

Moonfish

12-15-2008, 05:18 AM

In the DFW area, I ride with a few riding groups organized at Meetup dot com. Search for North Texas Riders or Outsiders... to mention a few. Seem there's a group ride scheduled most weekends.

Hey guys, anyone in TEXAS check in here, and lets see if we cant get enough of us to rally together to get our own forum on MF.

I'm 24, I ride a 1995 Yamaha Virago 750, and I live in north Fort Worth. I don't have any rides or events planned, but I would like to hear if any of you guys do.

Hey man, post a pic of your ride. I wanna see it!!

12-18-2008, 05:45 PM

Maybe I'm a little late checking in, kind of new to the forum.

I'm in Abilene, couple hours west of DFW. Always ready to ride! We have a group of about 20 of us here that try to meet up every saturday, on any given saturday we have about 6 show up and ride all over west Texas. Sorry not too many of us are native Texans! We are all military.

:D

Maybe next spring/summer I could get a group of us to head over your way.

Any of you DFWs ride in the soup this morning? That wasn't fog. It was mist. Drizzle even. I knew the roads were slick and tried to be easy. Grabbed too much brake too fast anyway and tried to make the letter L right through an intersection. Thankfully it was darkthirty and no one else was out. The trick to not falling seemed to be keeping the front straight and letting off the back brake while keeping the clutch pulled in.

Looks like Sunday and Monday are cage days. COLD

I live in Farmers Branch and just got back on a bike after 25-30 years. I have a 2005 V-Star 1100 Classic and think I may ride it today also. The temp is supposed to be in the 70's today.

cbdallas

12-19-2008, 09:19 AM

Since the car is already filthy from driving it during our 'winter blast', I went ahead and drove it today as well on these nasty wet roads. But since it's supposed to be so warm, I may get Virago out of the garage when I get home from work (noon) and stretch her legs if the roads have dried by then.

Jackie W

12-19-2008, 12:25 PM

I decided the same thing CB. I also go home for lunch and plan to get on the bike then. It sure is warming up out there.

I have friends in Dangerfield. I get out that way about once a year in my 68 chevy truck but the bike has not made that trip yet.

mjmdfw

02-08-2009, 01:38 PM

I've ridden this path a dozen or so times. Usually, departing at dawn and moving in a counter-clockwise direction, there's minimal traffic (even during the week).

Out 287N (65-70 mph), west on 114 (two lane) through Boyd, Bridgeport, Runaway Bay, south on 281 through Mineral Wells, to IH20 (120 miles or so at this point, gas breakfast sandwiches, benches and tables at the Shell (?) station). IH20 east to Fort Worth, and around the loop, north on IH35W (70 miles for this leg).

West of Bridgeport is open country side. Runaway Bay gas station on the north side of the road makes breakfast to order (if you want to stop and turnaround from that point). Between Mineral Wells and IH20 some twists, an overlook, nice bridge over the Brazos river.

I'm always open to hear about other nice rides convenient to DFW.

mjmdfw

02-19-2009, 09:18 PM

Jacksboro to Bowie IS a nice ride, though I've only been once or twice. 51 from Decatur to Gainsville is a peaceful two lane (though only parts are new pavement). Mornings in the summer it's cool in the low spots and most of the traffic is over on IH35.

wutzcrack3n

03-14-2009, 02:29 PM

I've ridden down 281 (from DFW) through Marble Falls and also 281 and back through Killeen and up IH35. Marble Falls beautiful. 281 is a great ride. I typically go west on IH20 and pick up 281 there (a gas station with a grill and benches for a rest is at the intersection).

281 is rural and good wide roads. Traffic is minimal not much need to dodge cars and trucks. From Marble Falls south it's even better. The time I went across through Killeen and up 35, I probably should have broken my rule and returned on the same road I came down. IH35 isn't much fun for me. If you have a path that crosses IH35 and returns cross country, I think that would be better.

thanks for the input, sounds like a fun ride. i'm gonna plan it for next weekend
see what happens,(weather permitting) i'm gonna stay away from 35. i might just go east to lago and marble falls up to killeen then back through florence or something.gonna take pics of some good spots, i will post them upon return :)

I got 3 guys that wanna ride on Sunday afternoon. We don't have a rout planned yet, but I will work on that today. So, if there's any Austinites (REX) that want to ride let me know.

wutzcrack3n

03-19-2009, 12:28 PM

Wutzcrack3n- Did you take the ride up here to Killeen last weekend?
A friend of mine was telling me about a route he took through Lampasas > Burnet > Llano (Great BarBQ) > Marble Falls ...
maybe the reverse course is as pleasant.
I'm getting ready to leave on a ride out to California for a few weeks then back to Illinois to see my kids and grand daughter and the rest of the family. When I get back I'm going to check out that route as a long cut to Austin.

no, i was planning it for this weekend,but might have to put it off for a week.
and after this weekend im always up to ride on sundays around austin,as long as nothing comes up that would get in the way. like having my on call phone on the weekend, but thats rare so yea anyone who wants to ride austin or surrounding i am always up for it hit me up next weekend tdubb and i will join in for a ride

Tdubb

03-23-2009, 03:17 PM

There will be Flat Track races at the Waco Eagles half mile on April 4th and 5th. Saturday is qualifying and Sunday is the day to go. I have a group of guys meeting at the Mc Donalds at I-35 and 3406, just North of Round Rock at 10:00AM on Sunday if you want to join us. I believe if your on a motorcylce the admision is free if in a car its only a couple of bux.

04-06-2009, 05:42 PM

i ordered the two pieces i needed friday when i got paid, and they were closed today(ctpowersports), woulda saved me a headache if they coulda ordered before i paid for it, but oh well. should be here tomorrow or wed at latest. i will def be back on the road by the weekend so i can ride on sunday

the mounting bracket alone was 60 and i needed the shifter, got a aftermarket one for 30 instead of the suzuki one (was cheaper) and the allen bolt that mounts the bracket,shifter and peg was 3 bucks, so all three pieces were 100 :(

BTW I watched KTXS weather and they had an article comparing the first few days of April 2008 and April 2009. The first 3 days of 4/08 the winds were: 26 MPH, 22 MPH, 26 MPH for an average of 25 MPH. For the first 3 days of 4/09: 43 MPH, 44 MPH and 26 MPH. And there is another cold front headed in Friday.

I still have this 1,500 / 36 hr thing I want to do...Cuba, AL or Casa Grande, AZ. Maybe this weekend. Traffic should not be too stupid (compared to Memorial Day Weekend). Weather is still a wildcard. If I launch I'll post up.

Scott here, checking in from Austin. Have a 2008 Buell 1125r that I use for short rides and just picked up a 1985 V65 Sabre for longer rides.

Speaking of the Sabre, anyone know of decent motorcycle mechanics in the south austin area? I need to have my fork seals replaced.

Thanks!

04-08-2009, 01:05 PM

i dont know any private out of the garage mechanics, but you can try to call down to woods fun ceter, or tj's cycles i think there on airport by koenig if im not mistaken. or if you can travel a bit north try giving ctpowersports a call. i got a buddy that does only custom bobbers and choppers out of his dads shop, but doesnt do sportbikes

rexmitchell

04-08-2009, 08:59 PM

Don't go to woods fun center for anything except tires and inspection...I have a guy that runs a dyno, I can get you in touch with him if you want...Not sure if he replaces fork seals but he does mechanical stuff also...let me know if your interested.

Tdubb

04-08-2009, 09:20 PM

If you go to Woods, don't forget your vaseline.;)

For real though there is a guy that posts on Craigslist every once in a while. I lost his number, but his name is Jerry. He did some good work on my old Kawi and was pretty reasonable on his prices. His shop is on the north bound access of I-35 right next to They Crazy Lady.

1,500 mile ride is down the toilet for this weekend due to weather. Severe T-storms whatever direction I go. :mad: Dang that wind was howling and sandblasting all day today. It laid tonight, finally. Maybe when no one is looking I can jet off some unsuspecting Friday.

There is about 8 of us that were going to ride to San Angelo Saturday, but not sure the weather is going to cooperate for us either bro. Any reason to hit Family Powersports for me!

I am going to try. I have some truck maintenance to take care of first but hope to finish early afternoon. It sure is windy in Dallas today.

Cool, I think we are going to the south location and not RR. I know your kinda north but the south one is way less crowded and they do about 5 times the raffles as north.

I found a sweet road going towards Kyle. If you take 290 to Dripping Springs, take a left onto 12, go about a mile and then left onto 150. There's hardly any cars on that road, it has some nice sweeping turns that you can hit at about 80 or 90, and a few long straights in case you get stuck behind grandpa going to feed the cows.

It dead ends at Kyle Rd. take a right. That will take you to Wimberly. Then go right on 12 to take you back to Dripping Springs.
