I'm getting relocated to Southlake, TX and thought I'd post to see if anybody knows of good roads in or near northern Texas? Thanks in advance

Two out of the top ten scenic motorcycle rides in Texas (according to Ride Texas Magazine) are located within 45 minutes of Southlake. Check Texas FM 4 and FM 455 on a map if you get a chance. Nice rolling hills (for the Dallas area anyway) and well maintained Farm to Market (FM) roads. Get used to BBQ and Tex-Mex food. Check out eurosportcycle.com for RAT pack info (if you are so inclined). They usually have rides on the weekend and also long trips to Hill country and Big Bend area of Texas.

Welcome to Texas! I live in Lewisville, and the in-laws are in Southlake. Nice area to live, you will like it. You won't believe how much house you get for the money here either. My best pal lives in Colleyville and another guy we hang out with is in Fort Worth, so we all gather at the Colleyville location to try and break our bikes under the guise of "improving" them. If you need someone to hang with, let me know. I'm sure you could pop over and we can talk Triumph.
