Welcome to the site! :wave:

Not much in the way of exciting DS riding in the DFW area. Mostly it is just county roads, paved and unpaved. Not muhc you could not drive a typical car down.

However... if you head up into NW Arkansas... You have everything from easy forest service roads to hard core ATV trails and full blown off road trails for dirt bikes and ATVs. Also, LOTS of fantastic paved riding!!

There is some relatively nice stuff South & Southwest of Fort Worth. Pretty rolling country with dirt roads. There are some slick water crossings.

Further away you can head to the Texas Hill Country, that is all out near Kerrville/Fredericksburg/Junction off of I-10. Famous twisty roads are FMs 335, 336, and 337 West of Kerrville.

If you keep heading West, there is the Big Bend area. This has some good street riding that will keep you busy for 3-4 days. The national park has dirt roads with lots of deep sand, river gravel, some easy gravel roads and a few challenging spots. Big Bend Ranch State Park (West of the National Park), has some very technical stuff that you probably would not want to do on a big bike like the 950 or a 1200 GS. You can do it on a KLR 650, but it is a LOT more fun on something smaller like my KTM 530.

You can also head Southeast of DFW into East Texas. LOTS of sand! Endless miles of dirt roads wandering the countryside.

Hola and welcome. Hope to see you around. Check out the upcoming rides section, Tarrant county meets up once a week. Nos vemos.
 
Welcome to Texas. I was just in Argentina on a photo. shoot. Went to Torres del Paine NP and Perito Moreno Glacier. You should love Texas as we have great steaks just like your country. We also have almost 80,000 miles of road. Get out and explore, it is an awesome state, with a huge amount of diversity, like Argentina.

Buenas dias, y'all....
