| I live in Temple, Texas and just bought my M50 this week. Saturday my buddies and I are heading down to Llano and Fredricksburg and plan on hitting around Wilow Springs as well. Anyone ride down in the Hill Country? This is the website I used to find routes. www.hillcountrycruising.com |

I have never seen that many before, my wife nearly hit one not 100 yards from the house on our first run. I was hoping that wasn't a bad sign. Another rider in our group had to do a panic stop on one that ran out in front of him, and that was in the middle of the day. Quote: Originally Posted by Uncle B Fuel pump out on the wife's car.

I know where that is, I used to live on Hwy. 4 at Worth Ranch. I'll give you a holler sometime. Thanks for the info, I did like 337 better.

If you were on Hwy 4 between Santo and Long Camp you were about 15-20minutes from me/my house I live on the south side of Lake Palo Pinto. off of hwy 2692. Cheers.

Quote: Originally Posted by Uncle B Quote: Originally Posted by KD57 I have never ridden it, but we have some beginners going down w/ us next week to ride, is there anything on the loops that they might not be able to handle? They have about 1000 miles under their belt. Any recommendations as to which loop is the best?
