Re: TEXAS members roll call
It just needs to warm up a bit and we'll be having fun riding again, as opposed to freezing our tails off
I just rode the Super Tenere back to San Antonio from Big Bend. It was only 30 degrees and accompanied by that hellacious windstorm, which tried to kill me with diablo cross winds every time I had to make a turn to the north...
Not fun, not fun at all...
Here's a few pics of the days before the windstorm...
Santa Elena Canyon
Bluebonnets
The road up to our cabin (wouldn't try this on the 76 GL...)
Pinto Canyon

On a completely unrelated topic.. I saw the DEFINITION of crazy. I was in Whataburger drive thru last night when the winds were maintaining around 35-40mph and gusting higher. I looked over and watched a CPS worker working on the over head power lines from a boom truck. crazy mofo

Re: TEXAS members roll call
Didn't have a choice as we had to get home...
We hit snow flurries at Marathon.
In Del Rio, I used all the strength I had just to keep the bike upright at the stop lights...really thought I was going to hit the pavement several times due to the winds, gusting to 50 mph...
