Play this right now! Really. If you don't laugh, clap n' stomp your feet, better check your pulse  ;)

BMW and Texas roads. Turn your speakers UP! Who is this guy? We need to find him and thank him for making his video. I'm ready to follow after watching. You?  [smiley=clap.gif]

My son, in Austin, Texas, sent this to me. Said he thought I might like it. Wrong! I LOVE IT  :D

It only says that if you click on the play button.  Otherwise, nothing happens.

I have that song by Hank Snow.

OK... Try this. Copy the link to a word processing document. Save it for future use. Then try copy/paste the link info into the browser's www. That's what I've done and it worked. I ain't to hot on this new fangled compuKer stuff.....

It's worth it. Several local bike guys say it's making the rounds.

It worked for me earlier today...hmm...not now though...it was great!  Wonder if the lyrics were written around his trip, or vice versa...
Thanks for the link!

The 2nd link is a better one anyway.  The smaller version is actually sharper and easier to read the signs.

Rich, thanks for your help in getting this video to play for folks.

Hank Snow is definitely one of the greats. I appreciated his talent during a visit to the CMHF.

I tracked this guy down and sent him a thank you email. Here's his response...

Monte-
Glad you enjoyed the video!  I had a lot of fun doing the project, but what' really interesting is how popular and where the crazy thing is showing up. Today will probably cross the 500,000 hit mark in 8 weeks. I never dreamed it would do that.

I'm in Austin as well most of the time. If you have any questions on the effort, how I figured out routing, etc, let me know. I'd be pleased to respond. Basically I put push-pins in a texas map and said "hmmmm, where am i going today" and pointed the bike in that direction.  About that simple.

Again, thanks-
