Your first question may be... why "Trucks on Sticks"?
If you ever traveled the I-35 corridor from Austin to Dallas, you too, might have noticed that these Texans have a propensity for placing trucks, or more specifically 18-wheeler cabs, 20 to 30 feet in the air as an advertising gimmick. What “S” finds interesting is that Texas is the southern end of “Tornado Alley”, so why would you place a six-ton truck (this may be a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea) on a stick above innocent travelers where wild winds have been reported on a number of occasions. It just begs the question, Why?

(Image found on google.com, not necessarily one that can be found on I-35, but we will get you real examples from our touring.)
The main purpose of this blog is to chronicle our venture in two-up motorcycle touring. So grab your favorite beverage and spend some time with "K" and "S" as we cruise across Texas.
