In particular the effect on our Texas Hill Country backroads over the 30 plus years I've been here have been simply unreal. Its been seven years now since I last rode cross-country on a motorcycle (I do bicycles now ), but everywhere I went (including the Tail of the Dragon and Marcus Dairy), same story.

Well,....there's a reason for that on the dragon.
Here's another one of those outside of Austin, this time a twofer.....
The guys filming the video reminded me very much of myself in my riding days, moving fast and well-spaced, and then coming up on a couple of slow moving Harleys, 'cept in this case the Harleys may have wrecked on account of pulling over to let the others pass.
I gotta say though for every Harley wreck there's gotta be a hundred sportbikes lost it on the outside of turns, or worse, drifted into the opposite lane while leaned hard over
I ain't happy to see any motorcycle go wheels-up, these folks seemed inept, maybe they were on rented Harleys.
