Hi all you Lone Star Folks,
I'm planning a trip across Texas, looking at two routs 380 and 180, which one offers the least resistance (quickest)? What is the best way to avoid the trafic aroound Dalla-Fort Worth? I'm heading for Memphis. Thanks folks.
Best wishes,
Pix

RE: Texas
You avoiding the Interstates? 'Cause if you're going to Memphis the quickest way is on I-40. If you're coming the southern route, it's I-10 to I-20 to I-635 to I-30 to I-40. The traffic on I-20 around DFW is usually pretty easy riding. I-635 and I-30 suck, but only during rush hour. Rest of the time you can fly.
380 is a good road, but really slow in the towns.

Thanks for the info Karl, leaving Fri. morning: Oceanside CA to Boston. From Boston to where ever looks like fun. No idea, when I'll be back to Oceanside.

Howdy Folks,
Karl was the only one that replied in time, I left Thursday at 2PM, mostly all interstates, asked a bro if he wanted to go expecting "are you nuts" answer but he said sure. He was a big fan of the freeways and didn't like the twisties on his FLGarbage Truck. Actually we needed to go on interstates to get there in time for the wedding. His "old lady" was whining about when he would be home as soon as we got to Boston. I put my foot down and told him I was stopping at the KC factory and other places to see where my Dyna was built and taking my time to look around. It got ugly for a few minits but we agreed to stay on interstates and Zig Zaged across the country, Last day I gave in and we did about 750 miles. All in all it was a great trip. None of my relatives beleived that I road in (I met my wife in Boston and we used her rental car while the bikes were locked in secured parking garage). When I got to NJ, I put my 87 year old mom on the Dyna and took a picture. I told her to flip me the bird but she wouldn't do it. They now call her "Motorcycle Grandma" in the retirement community where she lives. All the relitives over 30 thought I was really nuts, the ones that counted said " WOW, cool uncle Tommy." Hay, yaha gotta do something with your SSI check, may as well have fun.
Gotta go deal with doctors, more about the trip later.
Best wishes,
