Well, the Coast Guard decided that I need to move from the Oregon Coast to Galveston. Does anyone know if the dual-sport riding is any good there, or do I need to trade my A-17 in on a cruiser or sportbike or maybe even something else? I like my bike but I know there's a bike for every environment. Thanks in advance, Scotty P.S. I have a nice '88 Jeep Cherokee with a lot of extras for sale, pretty cheap too.

Scotty, I don't live in Texas but I have some friends who do live there. They took me on some really wonderful roads last fall when I picked up a used KLR 650 in Dallas. The hill country is very fun and the KLR was great. We also were able to find some fun dirt roads on the trip. I think if I was moving to Texas I'd drag the KLR along. Best, and thanks for serving.
