Title: Lone Star Motorcycle Museum Post by LANCER on 06/11/12 at 08:36:28 http://lonestarmotorcyclemuseum.com/ I read an article in Walnecks Classic Cycle Trader magazine today; July 2012 issue. The guy who created this place sounds like the kind of motorcycle person I would like to spend time with. He had been involved with bikes for a looooong time. He is a trained engineer. He is skilled in every aspect of motorcycle maintenance, repair & restoration. He is Allen Johncock; originally from Australia. An amazing man. |

Title: Re: Lone Star Motorcycle Museum Post by youzguyz on 06/11/12 at 08:40:53 Been there quite a few times. Pretty cool place. You can see his shop through some windows too.. If ya'll ever come over this a way for a ride, let me know. I know all the back roads, hangouts, cool scenery, etc. OH, and you have to ride the Three Twisted Sisters.. of course. |

Title: Re: Lone Star Motorcycle Museum Post by Savage_Rob on 06/14/12 at 10:48:56 I grew up just NE of San Antonio. There are some excellent areas for riding. At least there used to be. I suspect some aren't as nice any longer but I know there are still a lot. I need to get back down there on a bike sometime. The last several times have been by car with family for reunions, weddings, funerals, and such. |

Can't say I care much for the city myself (I only go downtown for jury duty), but the back roads available for a day ride are pretty good! |

[/quote] That seems a shame, especially when I compare my memories of San Antonio with my current knowledge of Dallas. Maybe it's changed and maybe it's just the nostalgia effect but I have some fond memories of growing up in Converse. |

You just have to selective like bills memory. |
