Anyone in the Dallas, TX area?
07/26/18 at 15:05:14

I'm all on my own here. I could use a rider friend, even non Savage. As a kid (cough, 40+ years ago) everybody welcomed everybody - if you had a bike, you automatically had someone to ride with or hang out with or ask questions or work together on repairs or mods, you could have them over to mess around with it, or be told where to go or what to do if you had any questions. Just having a bike instantly put you in the club. Those days seem to be way long gone. And online forums are nice but it's not nearly the same.

Hoping someone reading this is in north Texas.

(BTW, I can't find an option to automatically email me notice of replies, though I see a checkbox I can click while composing)

Thanks, springman - we'll see how things go. Cool

By the way, I lived in HOU years back, Westheimer area west of Bush. One memorable moderately crazy thing I would do is go to the horse track there, but not what you think. I would pay a road toll; pay to park; pay admission; go to the personal-cook pasta bar, order 4 of them, wrap it to go, and leave without even seeing the track. Even paid another toll to get home. Honest! And I don't even like pasta - meat and potato guy. But that place there... great thanks to the fellow that talked me into trying it!!

Here's the trick I used, which I crafted while seeking the best buffet deal on a trip in Vegas: find the "heftiest" guy who looks like he works there, or works closeby. Just a random guy, but a sizable one. Ask him where he eats. At the track, such a guy said "the personal pasta bar." I said, are you kidding? Who likes that stuff??" But the system often works very well, ha ha, and thanks to random guy, I ate well the rest of my time in HOU.

No bike, Most big cities got places you can rent a motorcycle.....can you get your company to "upgrade" your rental car into a bike?
