Staying on Interstate 40 we rode our bikes east into Texas.
At some point this day we were stopped for speeding for the third time but were able to talk our way out of a ticket. Leaned hard on the soldier/patriotism angle.
John remembers waking up in our New Orleans hotel, looking out the window at a line forming for gasoline, dressing and getting in line to fill our tanks. We dealt with some rationing during our trip, but generally motorcycles were exempt because of the small tanks.
