Earache Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Today really sucked balls. 40F was the high and again, had 40 mph crosswinds. But we made it to Amarillo and now having a beverage in my warm room Tonight is beers and food at the Big Texan. My bud from home sent his picture of his driveway today we dodged a bullet by getting outta town early. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we better find Dean to get the truth! @Earache .......he's a fat bullshitter in his 50's, and is likely to be working as a bike or car salesman in a dealership! Or he could be in a mental hospital! Is that enough to go on? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Dave and Debbie finally made it to Amarillo and we set off for the wife's favorite restaurant in town; The Big Texan. Weird kinda place that is decorated like an old west saloon and serves huge assed steaks. Dave had a 24 oz, slab of meat while the ladies had smaller portions. Me, not really being a meat eater, just had some beers. Very good, too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Stopped by the gift shop on the way out to peruse their fine selection of bull horns that were on offer. Wish they had a front fairing mount for the Goldwing - I'd have bought a set for it... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 The next day, Sunday, and we're heading for Palo Duro State Park southwest of town. It's cold again today so we had to wait until about noon for the temps to get up to 40F / 5C. Although partially sunny today, it never got warmer than that. So chilly riding once again. Palo Duro is touted as the second biggest canyon in the USA. I'm not buying it though. I've been to 4-5 canyons elsewhere making the same claim. It was a rather lackluster place, really. If this was in Utah, it'd just be another country road out in the middle of nowhere. Not impressive at all. Just a desert. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 So far, I'd say that riding in Texas sucks. The winds are unbelievable and make going in a straight line virtually impossible. And since all of the roads are exactly that - straight lines - it's not a lot of fun. More of the splendor of Palo Duro ... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 For the cattle fans, we did see some Texas longhorn steers on the way back to the hotel . This also shows what the country looks like - flat, no trees of any kind, burnt brown and super windy.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Today, Monday, we head 400 miles due south to Marathon, Texas. As I type right now, at 3.48 AM. it's 32F / 0C .

But I' ridden there way too much already. To be fair, I knew Texas was gonna kinda suck - having been here a few times before. And this cold weather is really unusual for here at thiis time of year. Temps shoiuld be around 80F / 27C. But they aren't. This wind is unusual as well. So it's just our luck. But I'm on a bike and riding so I shouldn't bitch too much! Home is getting 16" of snow tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably more than we get in 10 years, hence why we get all giddy if we see just a couple of snowflakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
