Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 460645, member: 16962"] Well to add to what WoodsRider said.... The little paper bag deal is no more, they made it illegal for any open containers in the vehicle a few years ago. A drag for those that liked one on the way home but a good trade considering many folks needed a grocery bag full. Fort Hood as of right now is totally shut down. The local community is working on changing that and I've ben contacted to possibly help bring off road and trials type events in so it is looking up. The legal places to ride are actually on the rise. There is a very active group of off road users trying to make it happen and the state and feds are helping with grants to purchase/lease property. Most clubs also have private property available to the club members plus contacts with several local property owners to provide access to their land. Emma Long Park is still designated as a off road motorcycle park, the Mt. bikers (I'm one) still go out there but there is a strong resurgance of dirt bikers hitting the nasty trails there (I'm one) and trials riders are increasing in number as well (I'm one of these too) so it's still a viable option if you like very technical single track. Houston, you couldn't pay me enough to live there. It's flat, big, humid, and too many people. Dallas is too big for my tastes but I could get do it if I had too, nice weather for the most part. San Antonio is not bad but still pretty big & dusty at times. Austin is getting big for sure and is not the town I knew 20 years ago. There is no place that has the quality nor quantity of live music available every night here. The town is VERY clean and the combination of water, trees and hills makes it very pleasant. There is a strong environmental focus here but they tend to be more against development than dirt bikers. [/QUOTE]
