I feel you. We moved to the Fort Worth area about 10 years ago and bought my Buell soon after. The best I can say for North Texas is finding some back roads with twisties. Before Texas, and four years in MO to do graduate work, I livd in Loveland, CO which is an AMAZING place to ride. West are the mountains and east is long flat easy rides. My kids thought it was funny when we moved here because the hill we live on is called "Brown Mountain" with ain't a mountain in the remotests sense of the word. When we moved here a lady my wife works with had a t-shirt with the outline of the US and Texas. In the Texas outline it said "Texas" and in the rest of the US it said "NOT Texas." Where else can you buy bread and waffles in the shape of your state?
