    question for dallas riders

    now, i avoid this place at all cost, but does anyone have a problem getting on 75s from 635e? its just that bump right when you are making the curve. it probably seems worse than it is, but im a bit nervous about going over it. ive only been riding a very short time, so i normally dont even attempt the hwy that much, but sometimes, it just happens. any tips would be great. thanks

    And that's exactly what I do ... I work at the Park Central plaza just west of the ramp your referring to, and after having survived it once - I won't go near it again on 2 wheels, in fact, I won't go near 75s or 635 period during peak traffic times. Much better to be safe (take another route) than to be extremely sorry

        I work at Spring Valley and the Tollway in Dallas, I live 65 miles north.. the bike would sure make it nice when it comes to gas mileage, but I have to say that getting on either 635 or 75 during rush hour with 100,000 psychotic, nose pickers, with one hand putting on make-up or shaving, and the other one holding the cell phone firmly to their ear... is simply an act of suicide... yet I see these Harley Riders do it every day without a helmet! NUTS if you ask me..

              Be sure to check out the meeting place forum. We're planning a fall ride in the Hill country in Oct. which will be our 3rd and several of us from NT ride down together meeting up with the ST bunch. Weekend rides? I'm game.
