I live here and have to agree that Dallas drivers are freaking maniacs!

I went to Strokers last November. I went out to Dallas in my cage for the international motorcycle show. Growing up in southern California, aggressive drivers are nothing new. What I did notice is that Dallas drivers will not let you in. I had my turn signal on for a while on some freeway. No one would let me in. Finally, I took an opportunity to make a lane change and the idiot behind me honked. Hello, did you not see my turn signal for a quarter mile. I would describe Dallas drivers as rude and crude. At Strokers, and the motorcycle show, I got to meet Rick and his daughter Lena. I missed MA. Rick was super nice. I did the t-shirt/poster/bumper sticker thing. Ate a good burger at the bar. One thing I would say, is that TV makes the place look bigger than it really is. The showroom and the bar are not a big as the TV makes them appear. Still, it's a great place with great people. As much as the show was criticized for being stupid, or what not, I loved it, and hope MA's Roadhouse will return. And that's not "utter bullsheet."

You can't get a better chili cheese burger in the area and the atmosphere is as authentic as it gets. Strokers is a great place to hang out if you're in the area. It's a major hangout for SWA ie Southwest Airlines Employees. Most SWA folks are pretty down to earth and riders as well. If you're in the area, give Strokers a whirl. You'll have a good time and more than likely have a beer bought for ya!

Nice place. Good people who in spite of the goofy show are the real thing. Nice as they can be. Dallas drivers are another story.

It's not just those from above the Red River, but our visiters from below the Rio Grande!
I highly recommend uninsured coverage!!

I wasn't there to see it but my guess is you weren't going over the speed limit, which is what you have to do when on a freeway in Texas. The speed limits signs here are really just saying, "You better go at least this fast or you will get ran over."

If you had your signal on for a quarter of a mile that was waaaaaay to long. In Texas you just signal right before you change lanes, not a moment sooner, and it probably didn't help that you had a car with out of state plates. That's why you got honked at. You're lucky it wasn't Bubba Redneck in a jacked up truck because they don't honk, they shoot.
