Riding to Texas

[Bmwgsrider94]

unfortunately, all over the state but by the time you come down it should all be burned up so no worries!!

All joking aside, they are all over but mostly in west Texas.

Its a big state and there are plenty of roads to take that are good so don't worry about that.

Now $4/gal gas is another thing......

Well right now I am paying $ 4.20 a gal for premium so $4 a gal is a bargain

Hello (Saludos!) from San Antonio, TX.   I'm not terribly familiar with the East part of Texas but there is a magazine here "Ride Texas" that may be available digitally for more information.     I believe their site is  texmoto.com   They have a annual Best of Texas issue that can really help you.   If you find yourself in our Hill Country, give us a buzz.

If you can hit Missouri 95 at Mountain Grove Missouri and take it south to Missouri 160 east of Branson to 125 then come down Missouri 125 across the lake into Arkansas you will have found and ridden Nirvana, Glasshopper.  

Take Ark 125 south to 14 west over to HW 7 south.  Take HW 7 south all the way to Dardanelle then get on HW 27 south and take it as far south as you can to HW 71 south and take it into Texarkana.  

You will have ridden some of the best of Arkansas and Missouri if you hit these roads.

Other great Arkansas roads are 16, 21, 43,74 and 123 - any of them and you are riding on as good as it gets.

Gotta stop - getting jittery just typing up this route.

Good thing I am heading up to NW Arkansas the first of June and will ride all these routes.

I wanna ride.

+1 on Missouri, Arkansas & the ferry at Bull Shoals.

If you take 7 South from Harrison to Hot Springs, you will get face cramps from smiling!

One other thing I have noticed, the LEO's in NW Arkansas are pretty reasonable when you are carrying a "brisk" pace, as long as you're not crazy and you shut it down in the little towns.  They appear to me to allow visitors to enjoy their wonderful roads as long as you respect their peace and safety in the towns.
