922, bee cave road, 428 and NE of McKinney will send you spinning with some of those roads.

How's the road surface on 455? Last time I rode through there (Pilot Point east to 75), the straights were good but every corner seemed to be chunking up. Major buzz kill cos' that's a great stretch of road  |

Major buzz kill cos' that's a great stretch of road I agree. They have purposely left the turns on 455 from Celina to 75 bumpy as hell to keep faster bikes off the road. The turns are like rumble strips! Heck, they even banned bicycle riders off of 455!! Assholes.  You see the occasional cruiser but all the good sport bike traffic left years ago. I used to ride the hell out of that road in the late 70s and early 80's and it was smooth as glass and there was nothing out there. Nothing. Celina and Anna had like 100 people each and zero Highway Patrol or Sheriff cars. All you'd see was a coyote, maybe a farmer pulling a hay wagon and a few era appropriate sport bikes. [moto] Isn't that shitty part of 455 where Andre crashed several years ago? Andre?  |

455 isn't too bad. they re-paved it and it started really bad but now it's semi ok. if you find the right track you're good though

 East Tx has some great stuff ! I'll be doing a burger run soon as schedule permits - we'll have to time it with a day you are off. It takes 6 hours & 4 are twists [moto]

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Guess I need to check out 455 again. I just got so tired of the whoop-de-doos in all the turns, the increase in Collin County "country" traffic and all the damn leo patrols I bailed long ago. Like I said, the general scooter riding concensus was they left the turns buggered up because the cage traffic didn't care and they didn't have to pregnant dog about all the crazy racers on their roads. Maybe I should meet some of you Okies along 75 some where and slab it to 455 and cruise west to Pilot Point then up 377 for some yummy BBQ at Clark's Outpost. Not exactly the Talmena Scenic Drive but the BBQ is worth the ride!   |

I think 428 runs from Denton over to Celina doesn't it? Sorry the only Bee Cave Road I know is in Austin, TX. How else do you get from Pilot Point to Tioga other than 377? |

the long way around from 455 to 121 there's a connector past Preston and then double-back. Or you can go West via 922, 3002, 455 and a short sprint on 35 or further west to avoid 35 altogether. in summary, there are ways.

Guess you need to drag me along next time you go that route. As long as there's Clark's BBQ involved of course!! |
