Ride in Texas? Post here! There's a lot of riders in the state and it's stupid not to get to know each other
Post about group ride dates/areas, good places to ride, bike nights, track days, or any other random stuff we come up with here on GDC!
Make sure to introduce yourself and your ride(s). Feel free to give a little background info. (i.e. "I like to ride track", "into stunting", "hit me up on a sunday for some spirited Hill Country riding", etc)

Over time I hope to list every track in Texas (road and drag) and the hosts, costs, etc. List up all the tracks you know. I'll do the research and post up details as needed. Let's try to provide an easy outlet for anyone setting out to hit the track for the first time all the way to the experienced racers. I'd like to see less "Hit at an intersection" or "Went too wide on the street and now I'm paralized" threads... So let's give people no excuse not to hit the track!

Texas World Speedway 2.9 miles & 1.8 miles
College Station, Tx 77842
Phone: (979) 690-2500

If anyone ever has any questions, comments, or suggestions for the thread please feel free to PM me. If you have any info that fits under the titles above or want to introduce yourself, please post it in this thread and I will update it later.
Well - tried to get DoF to sneak me on the list without having to post here - - but he didn't.
I ride North Dallas and Collin County on my K5 750. If you see me and I don't wave I'm probably extremely focused on the road - or I just don't like your kind.
Anyway - If you're in the area (or not TOO far from it) and looking to ride - shoot me a note.
I was gonna get you on bro, don't worry! I'd just rather have people post it so that when I run through the list for the next update and thread, I can organize them all at once. Makes it a little easier. As you can see, I put a decent bit of time into organizing the thread.
If y'all want to post what you think of the original post (i.e. Info provided, things you would like to see, was it helpful, etc) I'd like to see it. No point in a thread if it doesn't do what I set out for it to do
Thanks to all!
DoF

Cibolo area on my 07 600 and i mainly ride with a buddy who lives down by lackland area. mostly ride to school and the occasional ride around town when the wifey takes off the ball and chain.
Dallas guys, well will be riding around town on sunday if it's not too wet. It's suppose to be nice out. We usually meet up at sonic in lewisville near vista ridge mall. Then we head out from there. The guys that I ride with don't get on here. It's usually 5 of us.
If anyone is down to ride hit me up, pm, email- onefastlude01@yahoo.com or you can shoot me a text at 214-364-3877. Anytime is good with me. I ride daily, rain, shine, sleet or snow so I'm always down to ride.
I'll hopefully be hitting Texas world speedway when it gets warmer. Gotta get some frame sliders, a RC-1 one piece, some race plastics and some race rubber. Then I'm good to go. :-D
Hey I think I have riden w you and mustafa before. I have the blue/white 750. Anyway weather looks great for sunday. I will definitely be on the bike all day but I am watching the Cowboys game first so I will text you after that probably a lil after 3pm to find out where you are and meet up.
Well it's up to the guys who show. We can go ride some twisties but it's about a 70 mile ride through the twisties. We usually ride down 35 south up through downtown. Then jump on to 45 then go 75 head north back onto 635 west then north Dallas toll north. Onto George bush south then back to 35 north. Basically a huge circle.
Like I said it's usually up to the guys who show. I don't really care, riding is riding.
this one I rode and crashed cuz of rider mistake. I wanna ride this bastard again. It was hella fun till I broke my ankle. I know call me crazy but I'm a dare devil..
The third pic on this link is the exact spot I crashed at. Right bewteen the mail
box and turn sign. Fun stuff. Lol
I'm sorry you're the only one posting I wish the Southwest Forum had more traffic. I don't think there's ever been much going on in this thread so no one ever comes around... If I was in Dallas I'd come
Haha, you know you're still a youngin when you wake up on saturday at noon with black M's on your hands ;p 41 Days... 41 Days... lol. When are you trying to go to TWS? I'm tentatively planning on a track day in March.
Ummm Im not sure. When in march? I need to get some full leathers and frame sliders. I would also like to get race plastics just incase I happen to go down I don't screw up my normal ones since the bike is my DD right now.
I had all but gave up on the thread. Its been along time that there was much going on here. I maybe going out tonight to ride the gf wants to go out for a ride, still not sure where we are going yet.
Well guys looks like I'm going on that eastland, tx ride. One of the guys who's hosting it has a big F350 that he's bringing with a trailer. 3 bikes are already in the trailer and Im meeting up with them at 5:30 am and my bikes going in the back of the truck. Good god that's early though. Lol
