Texas Roadtrip...headed home 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
Well my adventure is coming to an end. Time with family...time with old friends...and lots of time ride n my RoadStar. Trip, in all respects could not have turned out better. Resting here in Amarillo. 750 miles last 2 days.
Gallop, NM. tomorrow then on Vegas. About 850 miles. Besides my gas gauge going kiliwonker and the lost of a front piece my side bag rail, BIGRED has run flawless. And for all my friends here that live in Texas...what agreat place to ride. Best roads anywhere. Later guys.
