“..Try it on a motorcycle...”

Yep. For sure... It can be a really mean stretch of road, especially on a bike.
The Iron Butt Association has a ride that they call the Bun Burner Gold (one has to complete their standard Bun Burner first (1500 miles in 36 hours) in order to be eligible for certification of doing the Bun Burner Gold: 1500 miles in 24 hours.
That I-10 stretch from the Texas Welcome Center coming in from the east out ofLouisiana, then riding a tad over 750 miles of I-10, turning right around and coming back to the starting point to make 1500 miles in 24 hours. It’s a pretty hefty challenge. It’s one of the few stretches of road in the USA that one can do the Bun Burner Gold and stay legal due to Texas’ higher speed limits. Going thru Houston and San Antonio in the morning hours on a Sunday helps a lot....LOL
