Greetings from Hill Country
Greetings, TWT. New to this forum and pretty darn new to dual sporting. Trying to reach back into the foggy recesses of the old brain to remember how I used to do it in the dirt 30 years ago. I think I'm catching on. Got an 05 KLR650 in the garage. Best of all, the garage points right out into the beautiful Hill Country. Looking forward to hitting some trails with this distinguished group. DD

The number one rule for this forum!
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Re: Greetings from Hill Country
Hey dirtdauber, welcome to TWT. I need to get over to your part of Central Texas and get you to show me the good routes. We need some good rides within reach of Austin, so if you have time to show me around, or post up your favorite roads, I'm interested.

This is street only, I don't want to get any dirt on my shiny bike.

Re: Greetings from Hill Country
Thanks for throwing out the Welcome Mat, folks. Scott, someone (maybe you) referenced TWT on KLR650.net. Rod, I love Bike Nites. I've got it on my calendar. You'll need someone like the DD to lay down a trail of mud thru the parking lot. David, I'm retired, so I can show you some good iddy-bitty roads I like in the HC. I can't drag pegs like a Thrux, but I love to ride anytime. Give me shout. 842 2112 (free from the Austin metro area.) DD (Tom Wiley)

Re: Greetings from Hill Country
Tom, I recall meeting you at the Cycle Wold Bike show last year, in Houston I believe. I think at the time you were bikeless. Good to see you got a KLR I still have the piece of paper with your email and name sitting right here in front of me, hehe. If you are ever itching to get over to East Texas for some fun, let me know

Re: Greetings from Hill Country
Yes, yes, yes, Scott. I do remember visiting with you. I think I had been talking to some folks from the A&M bike group, and they said I should talk to you. They found you and sent you to our booth. I'd love to get over your way and ride some. I've just got to remember to keep up with the forums and see when things are happ'nin. DD
