My husband and I are fairly new to Texas and are looking for good places to ride to and maybe makes some new friends.  We live the Mabank area, near the lake.

Any suggestions?  We'd enjoy hearing from ya.

You guys are in a very good starting point to hit some great riding. East Texas offers quite a bit of riding and rallies if you are into that kinda thing. Pick up an Atlas and Gazetteer for the state of Texas, I think about $21.95 at Wal-Mart. Most of the little two lane roads to and around Jefferson are great riding. The Piney Woods, following the shores of Toledo Bend there are some great roads. But pick up the Gazetteer and use it to familiarize yourself with the small roads. Be safe and enjoy! If I was closer, I'd love to show you guys some of the area, however, I only get to that area when trippin.

Follow any FM you care to and have fun. I live just east of you in Van Zandt county, just west of Edom. When I'm home (every other weekend) I spend as much time as I can on the bike, although my wife is still new to riding and still in the process of acquiring.her "seat". Maybe we can get together sometime.

gotta do the three twisted sister run.fm335,fm336,fm337 west of san antonio. in vanderpool theres the lone star motorcycle museum and the scenery is very cool over to leakey tx and up to fredericksburg.you wont be dissapointed.

Plenty of good places down your way... check out stuff around the Venus area... and have a stop by the Biker General Store. (I am in no way associated with the BGS, but have been down that way many times with friends... great roads and a few twisties to keep it interesting.)

Solo

Im in Tyler allways looking for people to ride with.
