'Some distance' could include OK, AR, KS for smooth, quite highways. I've ridden at least 1500 miles in those state but never on a roadway as rough and noisy as Texas chipseal. The DOT's in those states, and many others, must be negligent to ignore all the safety and cost evidence that favors course aggregate seal coat. Strange.
