Never been to Texas, looks like some fun could be had out there.

400 mile loop, how many gas stops for the motar
That KTM still manages to look good in along side the Italians. Looks like a great ride.

we stopped 4 times for gas. all 3 bikes averageing about 38-40 mpg. my friends motard has on of ca.cycleworks enlarged fuel tanks so he has no trouble with long distances anymore, he recommends getting one. my monsters fuel light would come on about 110 miles but I have rode it to 130 without running out of fuel. that sounds like a short distance but the fact I am 6'2" and 290lbs and catch alot of wind and there were some very steep sections on this road contributed to lesser fuel mileage for my monster, plus running 90+ to stay with the motard and duke doesn't help either. we had a great time and are planning a Tx hill country trip next weekend.  [moto] would have went this weekend but I have my sons graduation Saturday and his baby girl (my first grandbaby ) was born yesterday.
