I had to visit my daughter for her birthday this weekend. I'd been to her house before but this was the first time on my Harley. Bike vs Cage was a huge difference.
My daughter is me made over. She hates cities. Consequently, she married a big German farmboy who still lives on the family farm near Frelsburg, TX. Never heard of it? Get a map because it is worth the ride. From Austin ride down Hwy 71 East to Ellinger, TX. In Ellinger turn left onto FM 2503. Ride that road until it "T's" and then take the right "T". This will take you to Frelsburg. There's not much in Frelsburg except for a few homes and Heinsohn's Store. The store is the place to stop. No, it's not a bar. Just a country general store. When I pulled up there must have been two dozen bikes parked outside and I believe all of them were Harley's although I didn't stop to note the make of every one. The place is biker-friendly, to say the least. Keep that map handy because from Frelsburg you can head four ways. One will take you back the way you came, of course. A second will take you to Columbus, TX and Interstate 10 to Houston or San Antonio. The third will take you to Fayetteville and then back to Hwy 71. I frankly don't know where you go if you turn right in Frelsburg. That's an adventure for another trip. All routes will take you through classic German farm country. Most of those folks still speak German in their homes.
