Great video there biknut! I also liked your other one you posted on youtube, where it starts off with 2001 space oddessy. Then ends with David Bowie's "little china girl" song. That song has been totally stuck in my head, ever since starting this project! I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder......Yesterday I rode a long ride around town.
Basically to downtown and back the long way, through North Dallas. About 42 + miles. No problems at all. One car honked at me somewhere downtown, but I'm not sure why. He probably wanted to stop and try to buy my bike out from under me.. A car did stop me a little later to ask questions about my bike. It was a guy about 60 years old.
The weather was about perfect. When I got home my 1/2 gl tank still had plenty of gas.
I made this movie of what I saw.

These weren't just any cops, they were Farmers Branch cops. They love pulling people over, lol.I guess it's better to be ignored, than to be investigated.
I rode mine around Dallas at 8-9pm, and around white rock lake at 10pm, and the cops didn't care. One looked like he might stop me, but I was on the road, so he just went on by.
I think you'll have pretty good luck down there. Austin is the hot bed of MBs in Texas. Be sure and let us know what you find. Good luck.Hello, I just recently built my first MB a couple months ago, I'm new to this forum. I'm looking for some people in Austin to ride with.
I'd love to come, but it's going to be about 2 weeks before I have a weekend free.We need another Dallas MB Ride! Anybody who wants to ride 50mi next week and get pizza or BBQ in the WRL park, message me.
If we can ride on Sunday I can make it.Dallas MB Ride (on the third weekend of Feb 2012) informal event, free.
50 mile route from WRL planning now, from a gas station, pizza break, more riding, back to gas station start.
