Neon Moon Saloon
Local music, big outdoor space, and good burgers. Try the Bloody Mary Salad.
Houston weather and riding
Houston weather can be unpredictable at times so you should check the weather before heading out on a long ride. Summers can be very hot and muggy, so make sure you bring a mesh jacket and vented gloves. Also pack rain gear as it can get a little rainy.
Houston motorcycle laws and tips
In Texas, motorcycle helmets are required for all riders under 21 years old. Lane splitting and filtering is a big no-no. Do so at your own risk.
