Dayum. After reading this thread I think I should sell my bike and never ride in Texas again. Traffic on the weekends around Luckenbach is a biotch also; and it is all Harleys.
I live south of Houston and ride there often. Rush hour traffic is rush hour traffic--don't do it. People in Houston drive just as bad as the people in San Antonio and Austin. They all suck. Just be careful and enjoy the trip. I don't know if you have been to the ROT rally before but Austin likes bikers but people still don't see us in Austin when they are driving their cars and trucks. The roads in Austin are not good. The roads in Houston and San Antonio are bad too. HELL---I think you should fly and take a cab its safer. But now the Airports suck---screeners. Enjoy ROT ---we will be there.
Thanks, but not going to fly in want to ride my bike in Texas. I will just keep the rubber under me, and keep an eye out for everything.
I can tell you one thing...you will have FUN at ROT. Very reasonably priced venue and a blast to attend. Good riding in the Hill Country,eating in Austin,and party all night. Beats many rallys hands down. Tell your husband to pick up some Mardi Gras beads.

Hmmm Mardi Gras beads, well I might just come home with some of those myself.
