Just making a little thread to post up my Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas pics.
Today made my first few stops.
Left around noon today with a plan of getting the San Jacinto Monument and Liberty County Courthouse (Stops Alt 2 and #12).
I had to run downtown to grab a cable for my PDM60 (a power relay box for my K1600) so I can reprogram it. Then rode over to the Monument.
Then took the Lynchburg Ferry across and went up to Liberty County and took a pic of the courthouse.
It was only about 2:00 and decided to run over to Beaumont and Port Arthur to get the Giant Propeller (#48) and Golden Triangle Veterans Museum (#16).
I debated running over to Bolivar to get the Fort Travis sign but I would have gotten home after 7, and I had my dark tinted visor and mesh jacket. It was overcast and getting cool at 4:00, so just decided to head home.
I had also debated getting the Red Roof Inn on I-10 near Hwy 6, but it was around 5:30 pm and traffic sucked, so will get it later (or at another one during my rides).
4 down, 46 to go.

It was about 6 hours total with stops and traffic and just under 300 miles.
Plan on running down to Freeport then over to Bolivar on Thursday or Friday.
I also plan on making it up to the Meet and Greet at Texas Sidecar on March 30. I am hoping Lone Star Rider will be there so I can grab his pic while there.
