Default Folks who ride in Dallas...

must be fearless and damned good riders! Took a trip to DFW to pick up my son and his wife. I was on 820, 121 etc. saw lots of bikes and the traffic was terrible! I was cut off about 10 times ... saw a guy on a softtail deluxe almost get nailed. He hit the brakes, swerved to avoid the the stupid driver, gave them the universal hand gesture of disgust and drove on. You folks that drive that place all the time are some tough rascals. If you have been doing it for a while you have my respect. Ride Safe!

That is why we have seven bikes go down at one time on the freeway, two which clipped a SUV. Mostly rocket riders.

It better than Miami, way better!
After living there for 15 years, DFW is a piece of cake.

I'd argue this. Been to both places............ Dallas is worse & Housten is no better. They will cut you off and flip you off at the same time. I've never witnessed any place as bad as these two cities and glad I don't have to very often.

The idiots on the cell phone are far more dangerous. But it definitely gets you po'd riding thru town. 635/75 are the worst. I like to head east, or north.
