I visit a friend once a year in Eddy Tx. About 70 miles from Ft. Hood. Great riding though a bit hot at times.

I like Horny Toad HD in Temple, and Ft. Hood HD in Harker Heights has some great military themed T's.

Guessing you are military. If so, thanks for your service.

Bill

Good deal. Make sure you link up with the local CVMA Chapter. 23-5 is a big chapter and an active group. I'm the commander for 23-9 in College Station. When you want to ride a couple hours east, let me know and we will get the Chapter together and take you on the grand tour.

Riding a motorcycle in the hot summertime in Tejas is not for sissys though.
At least it is a dry heat!
