FM 2222 ride in Austin (video)
« on: August 03, 2007, 04:32:40 PM »
Found this on YouTube, and thought it was pretty kewl.

Background: The road has been widened over the years, but check the leans, it's still pretty tight. When I lived in Austin 20 yrs ago, the BMW dealership forbade their salespeople from taking "performance Demo drives" on 2222. They'd had too many accidents with new cars.

Enjoy.

At 5:00 p.m? That's the kind of afternoon traffic I can deal with. Between the weather and economical issues, I haven't been able to frequent Central Texas and the hill country nearly enough lately. I guess it's time for me to get down there for some riding therapy.  :)

I was on 2222 about 5:15 about 6 weeks ago and it didn't look like that. :o It was bumper to bumper and everybody was in a haul a$$ mode and talking on their cells. Was real glad to get off that one. I rode it the first time back in 72 on my 750 K1 and that was the first time I ever drug my pegs. No traffic to speak of back then O0 O0 O0
