However, I would respectfully disagree with one of your suggestions given above (or at least, seek to clarify it).
It is against Texas traffic laws and dangerous to "ride alongside" someone else. Motorcycle riders should generally ride in a staggered formation with sufficient stopping distance between the bikes to allow a safe stop.
Otherwise, the suggestions are right on.
