I've loved Dr. Pepper all my life and didn't know it was invented in Waco, until I moved to Texas.

You need to take a ride to Dublin (Tx) then. Great riding. They are the only ones that still make it with Imperial Sugar.
Try it and you'll never go back !

Besides being the oldest Dr Pepper bottler in the world, Dublin Dr Pepper also has the distinction of being bottled with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar - the original Dr Pepper formula.

Dublin, Texas—also known officially as Dr Pepper, Texas for one week each June during our annual birthday celebration—became the site for the world’s oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant in 1891, just six years after the drink's invention in nearby Waco.

This thread is so true. I wrote a post a couple years ago that my gas bill sky rocketed when I got my Harley because I was putting 100 miles on my bike every time I went to the store to get milk. And sometimes I forgot the milk.

Told him guess I would head home, but wanted to take a longer ride. Told me that the exit to head down Hiway 1 south was just a few blocks away, I took it. Decided I would turn around when the tank was almost empty... ended up calling my wife just north of Monterey and asked her if she wanted artichokes for dinner.

Nothing more fun to me than a great ride that started and ended with no destination in mind.
Now that's a ride!!!

I don't use my GPS a lot, but one of my favorite rides is to just go and get lost for a while and then hit the Home button. It also comes in handy to find the closest fuel when I'm lost.
