Wild horse desert

Pics from freer Tex and west of George West. Nothing much but miles straight deserted roads and deer proof fences. Deer breeding with satellite dishes for antlers
Bike makes 113 km out of 1 tank at full throttle. Coasted to a stop at picnic bench 9 miles north of freer TX. Had my gallon reserve at all times . Wanted to go further west to road I had my eyes on but after talking to border patrol guy on road side he said it was fenced like every other road in TX. Private property. By the way, that bike did not make any 83 mph as GPS reports..

I figured--these bikes' advertised top speed is usually only 75 mph...

Very cool shots. Reminds me of the area around Doc's place.

Except everything is either poisonous or armed with inch spikes


Culc.. Hehe 75. I just move over for the big diesel rv's going flat out at about 85mph. While I scoot along at 54mph
