Sounds like a great place for off roading. Probably not much traffic on the roads, either. I kinda liked Texas when I lived there, places where even a big twin could manage ok off road. The hard tail I tried off road dint ride so great, though. Not so bad on the smooth areas, but then I had to try a jump with it...

Flat land is meant to be ridden through to get to the hills/mountains on the other side.

Hope you cleaned the piston nice and shiny before you put it back together again.

Here's my mechanic wiping one off with a q tip after breaking the crud loose with alcohol soaked floss, not one of his favorite things to do...

Was stationed there a bit over a year before going overseas, couple months at Ft. Hood, rest at a little place in the boonies called Gray Army Airfield. It was little, but had enough ordnance to level a big city - they stored nukes there. Enjoyed the year round riding and, at the time, almost no fences anywhere. Found out long horn cattle aren't at all friendly with motorcycles... and it was a real bad idea to run over armadillos.
