Sunday Ride With The Star Riders

Ripley led the Star Riders on a great ride Northwest of Houston. After enjoying the ride with the awesome weather, we ended up at Joe's Place in Fayetteville for a late lunch.

I really enjoyed Old Mill Creek Road (CR RD 25) in between Burton and Brenham.

Sherri & I rode out with the Houston Southern Cruiser for the Somerville Meet Up and Food Drive at the Somerville Steakhouse. We took a direct route there and arrived at 11:05 AM.

I really love there their steaks and I was disappointed that they were serving us only the buffet. The food was OK, guest I was missing the steak.

Followed Rita back to Houston on the back roads, It was a great ride back home. Thanks Rita!

Dallas International Motorcycle Show

While I was up in the DFW area visiting family, I decided to run over to the Dallas International Motorcycle Show. This years show seem short on vendors, but it was still a good show.

I got to meet Tom Lowdermilk from one of my favorite Internet Motorcycle Show, SideStand Up. Tom was at the Cruiserworks booth when I met him. It was great to talk to him in persons and talk about our latest ride. (Tom & me in the photo above)

Back To Vegas To Pick up the Road Glide Day 4

After breakfast at the hotel I headed East out of town on Hwy 69.

I stopped for lunch at Al & Diane's Red Onion in Heber, AZ. I had a great Chicken Fried Steak!

I continue East On Hwy 260 through Show Low Arizona, Then hopped on Hwy 60 in to New Mexico. It was now getting really windy and colder.

On Hwy 60 I rode through Quemado New Mexico, the speed limit before town was 65 MPH and 25 MPH in town and out of town there were no speed limit signs. Two miles out of town I pass a state cop doing 65 MPH He turned on his light and pulled me over. So you know I have been riding the speed limit or 5 MPH over, max the whole trip. I ask the officer what was the problem. He stated that I was going 10 MPH over the speed limit. After writing me a $71.00 ticket he told me that the speed limit was 55 MPH for the next 11 miles. This was nothing but a speed trap!

After my 45 minute delay I rode in the dark to Socorro New Mexico and book a room at the Best Western Hotel. I grabbed a late dinner at the El Camino Restaurant & Lounge.

Beside the ticket it was a great day of riding.
