    I'll say 165 is a fairly new 4 lane highway from Alex to I-20.....The other route will be 2 lane roads and you know how those can be when someone is taking a Sunday stroll below the speed limit.

    Either route be on the look out for those little town speed traps.

    On a bike Id rather be on the 2 lane.. Interstates and bikes scare snot out of me. So If I was pulling bike, Id take interstate. Riding, the 2 lanes.

    Thanks fellas.

    Speed limit the same on both routes?

    I know after running 70-75 in Texas, when I go to Many from Toledo town that 55 mph is brutal.
