Saturday morning at oh-dark-thirty, we head for Texas to pick up my newly restored 1968 Trophy TR6R. I can't wait to fire her up and ride her. We're going to do some riding in the Texas Hill Country. See y'all next weekend.

You're gonna ride her home ?!!! Wow ! is mae gonna follow in the car or what? Or are you shipping it home? Be sure and take pics...

Ah, Carl, nice to know that you are getting to get away for a while too. I'm drooling over your Trophy. Had a '67 in '69 along with my '68 Bonnie. Nice bike. Would really like to see pics when you can.

Be safe on your trip and we'll see you on the internet when we all get back.

Very nice! Be prepared to sweat. But I'm sure the goose bumps and chills will help overcome the heat

I think it's supposed to be 105 here today...

I rode the bike to work too!

It's all good except from about 2pm-7pm, that is hot time!

What a great name for a thread!

'Headed for Texas' sounds like a film title to me, and also it sounds flipping exotic!

If I said 'Heading For Sussex' it would sound pretty mundane... mind you for the people in Texas Sussex might sound exotic... :razz:

Obviously Triang you have not been to Texas. I've been to Texas and liked it fine, but exotic it ain't. Ya know, Dubya's from Texas, maybe that explains it. :wink: Maybe not.

As for Sussex, to an American who hasn't been to Europe it sounds kind of exotic.

Hey hey hey! Easy! Just cause Dubya's from Texas don't mean nothin!

Lemme tell you about Texas. Austin and central Texas is amazing, Austin is THE coolest city in Texas. Great nightlife, great scenery, it rarely rains, low crime, good rides everywhere. And then there's the rest of Texas, it's a wasteland. Dallas-sucks Houston-sucks San Antonio -sucks but the Alamo and Riverwalk are cool, everywhere else pretty much sucks too.

Oh and Texas rules. but think of Austin as a mecca in the middle of a dusty hot wasteland. And man is it hot right now, 104 today...

Also, to me Sussex does sound cool.
