    Hi all, thanks for letting me join the fun. I've always been a Honda guy, from 750F models to Gold Wings then a Valkyrie. I've always had an ear for Triumph triples and an eye for Daytonas. My wife thinks I've sold my last bike, but who knows? I might have a couple more years of riding left in me. We just got a place near some of the best riding in Texas, what we call the Hill Country, specifically three roads known as the Texas Twisted Sisters. I'm so close now that I can make it a regular day ride, so I'm thinking of saddling up again. I look forward to visiting with you all and maybe learning a thing or three about why or why not to look for an oldie but goodie.

    There's also a great motorcycle museum on that route with all kinds of cool bikes, in Vanderpool, Texas.

    Hi Joe, and welcome.

    I'm a Brit ex-pat living in Oklahoma, I do visit Texas now and again, usually DFW though, but you never know, we might run into each other someday.

    A hardy welcome from the giant side of Texas.

    There are some beautiful areas to ride in the Republic, check out the Big Bend area, about 5-6 hours west of San Antonio.

    Since you mentioned the Hill Country, There are Triumph dealers in both Austin & San Antonio for you window shopping pleasure.
