Wow, that's old Turkey Slayer days. Jeez, Ashok and Bryant really did exist!!! Who'd a thought? And a Leo sighting as well! Wow... archives!!

[LYD]

I think thats about 3 years old.  I would be there if I could, you know!!

[calscrazy]

  LYD, the route has changed drastically from the first time. having ridden it probably 7 times in the last three years i have made tweaks here and ther for the better. still have on section i would like to get rid of but it's just not possible or we would run out of gas.
  I see bryant about once every two months. He does exsist.
  That first trip caused an argument between two guys i know. Bobby told Nancy's husband that black ducati was mine. Nancy's husband responded with the classic "Bull----!!! All those souped up vespa's look the same." what a douche bag!
  No need to worry LYD we will see you in sept for h/c run. even have a special stop for a "bar" burger for you. Plus cj will get duvel.

Very cool.  I WILL make this one 

[calscrazy]

excellent!! it's good route with some tighter twisties in the beginning. little straight up an down rest. more tight twisties. gas. little straight and then sweepers (my favorite part).

[calscrazy]

just a reminder!

[muskrat]

u better stop for gas.  I hear you ran out one time long ago.

[calscrazy]

we have two stops for fuel now. one for the bulk of us and one for the 1098's and motard's. yep that is when i learned that my low fuel light does not lie. it came on and about a two miles up the road it quit running. 8 miles from hico.

[Ronr]

Any idea how many miles between stops? I may need to load up my camelbak with petrol.

[TresGatos]

Or take a backpack, eight miles to Hico isn't to far to
fetch fuel

and the sweepers are the best I've been on. I lost
my first set of chicken strips there (Hypers) [moto]

[calscrazy]

80 mph sweepers are fun! lmao!!!


get back to you on distances between fuel stops.

[calscrazy]

40 miles stop for gas for superbikes. 55 miles gas stop for everyone. then 75 miles into hico. remember the first section is on the gas off the gas. middle section is a mix. last section are those sweepers we went barrelling through.

[Ronr]

Thanks. I can make 75 if I'm careful in that section.
