@Big Gun when I read North Texas I thought you meant the Top O' Texas, my goof. Growing up in Pampa, I would ride all the FM roads paved or not and remember hours upon hours of bliss mixed with heightened pucker factor. With just a little work, one can find twisties in the land of square networks. Lots of canyons to explore. I think my go-to bike for most of my teen years was a CX500. I considered putting knobbies on it since I rode dirt roads so much but those who know better convinced me not to.
