Dave77459 Posted August 10, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm, im showing a pic on my end.... Not on my end either. What interchange is it? Can't be the High Five in Dallas, since that isn't on I-10. Is it the I-10/I-45/US-59 interchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted August 10, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah they call the one here affectionately the Spaghetti bowl....it's an earned name I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey130 Posted August 10, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 10, 2009 been through it so many times, it is no big deal. knowing where you are going & watching the signs are key factors in not having to drive aways so you can turn around & do it all over again. you watch for the person in the left most lane who needs to be in the right most lane with 4 lanes of traffice & 1/4 mile to do it. now that is an adventure. the guardian angel for that area must have been a former traffice cop!

jneed53 Posted August 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 10, 2009 I lived in houston for 12 years from1976 to 1988. There is no picture, but I am sure it would be the 610/59 nightmare. I few years before I moved there a tanker crashed and exploded on that thing. I'm certain it hasn't gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted August 11, 2009 Share #14 Posted August 11, 2009 Boy Brad are you sure you're making the right move here. Detroit has nothing even close to that nightmare of an interchange. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted August 11, 2009 Share #15 Posted August 11, 2009 no picture.... Is it something like this?No Randy that is my intown twisty, 3miles from the house, Spagetti Junction. My favorite rest stop on this run is halfway down the 285W to 85S ramp on the right side shoulder on the highest overpass ramp. From that spot you get the best view of the sunset and the Atlanta Skyline. When I have a new date on the bike I love to stop here for a rest break and a cig. At first it will freak them out that we are taking a rest break on a major interchange so high off the ground but, after they realize it's pretty safe due the long line of vision and the wide shoulder, and the view they end up thinking it is pretty cool place to stop. They're talking about some place in Texas I think. I can't think of anything cool in Texas but, Tx2sturgis and silverbullet, ok maybe the Cadillac Rance.

Dragonslayer Posted August 11, 2009 Share #16 Posted August 11, 2009 theres a problem with that, no place to do u-turned, to return to the twistiesActually if you do the whole route and hit every ramp and interchange before stopping it's a pretty decent ride but you have to keep your wits and concentration focused or you can get lost like in a maze and never come off of it. Don't ask me how I know that. I spent a whole week on it one day when it first opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Houston is one of those towns where the reality on the road differs from how it looks on a map. We have this thing called "traffic" that messes it all up. :-) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburrell Posted August 11, 2009 Share #22 Posted August 11, 2009 Extremely nice riding area. I also like the ride from Kerville down to Median on Hwy 16. Very extreme ride with 10 mph turns. Went and rode it for Memorial Day weekend. Now I want to go to NC for the "Tail of the Dragon" and the Blue Ridge ride. We have a few nice twisties out toward Montgomery and Livingstone Tx where you also get to see 2 nice lakes. Have a nice day ya'll. Born a Texan and will Die a Texan...just not soon I hope!

Slab Pig Posted August 13, 2009 Share #23 Posted August 13, 2009 OK guys. Before I print a retraction and grovel for forgiveness, please send me the routes on a google url. I realize that my credibility is laughable being a flat-lander from AZ and seeing the routes I take. Let's see what you dudes call a twisty.

Slab Pig Posted August 13, 2009 Share #25 Posted August 13, 2009 I took a look on Google and I'm still not convinced. No retraction or mia culpa, yet. 10 mph curves, huh? Is that what they're marked? I guess I'll have to mosey on over there and run the routes. I guess that I'll then have to go to Kentucky. I'm sure I'd get tired very quickly running never ending corners (with a town around every corner?), seeing that I'm a light weight flat-lander that has to ride an hour to get to anything resembling a corner here.
