Thanks for your welcome, Gina! That's a great idea, I'll definitely be reading through previous related ride reports, so I'll be sure to write my own for posterity and help.
Thanks for your welcome, Tuco! I believe you're right. Sure there's more self identified Irish living abroad than there are on all of the island back home! We get around!
Thanks for your welcome, sikatri! You're observant alright. The photo with the little 250 is from around Menil museum, near my current home in Midtown, though I'll be moving to just outside the loop soon. The photo of the 500 is from my new favorite holiday, "New Bike Day", and was taken up in Conroe when I bought her a couple of weeks ago! Do you know of any riding groups inside/closer to the 610 loop? I notice there are both Clear Lake and NW Houston groups, but they'd entail riding in rush hour traffic to a place I don't even live!
Thanks for your welcome, Mark! Yeah, I was happy she came with TKC80s when I picked her up from the PO recently as they're ideal for my plans. One less farkle to have to spend $$$ on!
The Menil, not far from me! Ride through there occasionally. I live by the village near Rice University. We’re pretty much neighbors! LoL. There’s some meetups, I believe a thread or two. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery, so won’t be riding again until late summer.Thanks for your welcome, Gina!

I've been here over 8 years now, so practically an honorary Texan at this point!

Me too, but you have to go back to the 1600s to know it.
I’ll be moving to the west or north, but just outside the inner loop, still being finalized though. So the NW meet up might end up suiting me.
I’m sure a pint of Guinness would have you speaking the ol’ tongue in no time at all!Me too, but you have to go back to the 1600s to know it.
& enjoy!
Howdy Gravel Guy! I might just take you up on that offer as I’ll be passing through Arkansas along the TransAmerica Trail on the return leg of my trip! Down for group rides too as I make my way along the TAT if you’re so inclined!Howdy Irish! Married a Sullivan three decades ago, no regrets! If you ever make it to Arkansas, pint’s on me!
Thanks for your welcome, julimike54!

Will do, Mark, once I solidify my schedule.Loop me in, I’m game!
Thanks for the heads up, Rusty! I'll check out the dates on my own tires as soon as. Any idea whether they'd still honor a recall replacement even though the PO bought them?You may want to check the manufacture date on those TKCs. They had a major issue and recalled three years of those tires. I had a set and the front came apart at 70 mph.

The draft Guinness here in the US is nothing like the silky smooth heaven I enjoyed in Ireland. Plus the bartenders here don't know how to properly pour Guinness into the glass; there's a proper and subtle art to doing it right.
If in Houston go to Pimlico Irish Pub, the Guinness is sublime!
