Hello All! New Member Here from Kingwood, TX

Good day to you all. I'm new to TWT. A friend recommended it to me. I'm 31 and currently don't have a bike, but have been riding for about 2 years now. Mostly I've ridden my father-in-laws '03 Harley Sportster 1200C. I've put about 3000 miles on it over the past year. Most of my riding destinations have been in and around the Houston/Galveston/Lake Livingston areas. I also ride with my brother-in-law. He has 2 Honda CR250 2strokes, one of which I borrow from time to time. We try and get together and ride at least a couple of times a month.

My main purpose for joining TWT is to find out some good places to ride dirt bikes. I'm getting ready to buy a bike in a few months, but don't really have a close place to go riding that is either free or charges a minimal amount.

I'd love to hear any suggestions.

Steve (a.k.a. MCDreamer...That's MotorCycle Dreamer, not Mc Dreamer, by the way) hahahaha

Steve!

I'm sure somebody will chime in with some useful info here shortly.
I'm currently relegated to the street as my XR200 is in desperate need of work.

Steve

What type riding are you planning on doing? MX, Trails or a combination? There is a MX track in Splendora and one on the northside of Highlands. The Sam Houston National Forest is just a short drive to the northwest outside of New Waverly. There is also Outlaw Trax a Hare Scramble/Trail riding facility located just down the road from SHNF. Outlaw Trax is for members only and I can get you information on the membership if you are interested. Several TWT's are members at Outlaw Trax and some of us are members of MSRA which is the Hare Scramble Club that maintains the trails at Outlaw.

Quote:
The phrase "eminent domain" reflects an assumption Karl Marx would find congenial: government is the default owner of everything, and that private ownership, however extensive, is merely a contingent arrangement. - Will Grigg

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

The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution. - Ludwig von Mises

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

I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least.”… Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. — Henry David Thoreau, 1849

Human reason must justify what the human will has chosen, even at the cost of falsifying reality. - Stephen Westerholm

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
