Well its Anzac day in Aus and pick up bike day in Dallas.  After navigating the freeways, and I do mean navigate we found Sports Ryder Rentals. Charles was very thorough with his prep and instructions. Hugh got his light blue BMW 1200RT and Paul a white Harley Road King. Thats right white! Looks like I stole a Police Harley. Off we went bypassing the city centre heading for a half way point to Kansas City.
All going well, radios working, highways even on lesser roads. Never less than two lanes each way. Doing 70 MPH and most cars and some trucks overtaking us. One truck doing 75MPH!.

Some of the town and place names brought back memories of old songs. Names like Muskogee,Oklahoma City, Witchita Falls, Talahachee. Even a road to Coalgate.

Then it all went pear shaped and the Harley was parked on the side of the road broken down. I will load a picture. Had to find a tow truck, then a hotel for the night. Should have rented a Beemer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More in the next blog.
