The Best Motorcycle Ride In Texas : Three (Twisted) Sisters & Hill Country Roads
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2017
- A four day motorcycle ride to the Texas Hill Country proves enjoyable and hilarious as Clif, Matt, and I tackle the Three Sisters and other roads in the area. Along the way, we make a jaunt to the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum, and have lunch at the famous Apple Store in Medina, Texas. It's three days of motorcycles and buffoonery in 20 minutes.
Theme music composed and performed by Tim Kreitz.

NOTE: If you came to this comment section to leave a snotty, abusive, or threatening post about how mind-blowingly awesome your Polaris Slingshot is and what a bunch of ill-informed jerks Matt, Clif, and I are for poking a little fun at them, save your time and energy. Comments have been set to approval on this video since early 2017. You shouldn't care in the slightest about what three knuckleheads on the side of the road think of your favorite toy.
Texas is just full of scenic surprises. Rolling deserts and then vistas like this! Just beautiful! Thanks for taking us along and ride safe!
Texas definitely has it all, from extreme deserts to national forests and all points in between. Glad you enjoyed it.
What an awesome episode my friend, I'd say most likely the best you've ever done. I would've absolutely LOVED to have gone on that trip with you. Although we might've had a few rougher mornings! Haha
Hahaha! I have no doubt about that. LOL. I always appreciate your feedback, especially with this episode, since I was conflicted about the runtime. I feel like it's one of my best, too, so I appreciate you saying so. Thanks, as always.
Fantastic video showcasing some interesting TX country.
It's really cool that the older crowd still gets out there to ride.
That's a lot of slingshots!!! Wow!
Hahaha...the guy in his underwear! I love his no-care attitude!
Your music selection was so perfect for this.
Wow, beautiful sunset & seeing the flag flying...so awesome.
Nice spot at the end.
Thanks a million, as always. This trip is gonna become a yearly thing for me, I've resolved. It truly is a beautiful place to be in the Springtime and autumn. :-)
Loved this video. Thanks for taking us along.
There's nothing quite as beautiful as hill country. Man, when you go to Austin from Midland and you hit San Angelo it'll start to green up, and then you once you pass Eden it'll just be awesome. Especially right now with the wild flowers.
Yep, definitely. The wildflowers were not as prevalent this year, but it was still beautiful down there.
Guess you've never been out of Texas :) :)
My God you made me homesick for Texas.
Well, don't feel too bad. Over the past several years, millions of people who are not native Texans have moved here, which has had a significant negative impact on traditional Texas culture. It's also a lot more crowded than it used to be. Here's hoping we survive it all intact, and that the rust-belters and Californians decide to go home soon.
I liked San Angelo when I lived in Texas. It's just enough removed from the bigger cities to feel small and town-like. No Interstates to get there, all highways. A perfect blend of West Texas and the Deep South.
Great video, loved the exploration and the way it all came together. Nicely done B-)
Very much agreed about San Angelo. I've often thought of moving back there someday. It's one of the best-kept secrets in Texas. Cheers and thanks as always, sir. I always appreciate your commentary. =]
Got to agree with you on some of your points there. San Angelo is definitely the ideal blend of small town life spread over a fairly large area. As someone who lived there for the duration of my training at Goodfellow, I can say it’s ideal riding country, especially some of the canyon roads north of the city. Might be planning a trip back down one of these days, only wondering whether fall or spring is better for that type of ride.
Great job as always man! Love the views, and early morning sunrises! And I completely agree, although we all get older, we will always be children on the inside. Just with bigger toys!
Exactly. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. LOL. Thanks, man!
Have to tell ya my Texas hillbilly story when I stayed at the Junction KOA next to the absolutely bone dry Llano river. Texas hill country is beautiful & it's nice to see it green. The mandolin tune @ 0:58 & again @ 19:06 is just wonderful. Awesome journey with good friends!
I took a ride around the south side of Junction and I wouldn't doubt the presence of hillbillies one bit. LOL. Cheers and thanks. Glad you enjoyed, as always. :-)
What a great trip brother.. Awesome views, awesome company... doesn't get much better on two wheels.. Had to watch it twice I loved it so much!! I have no idea why I have never made that trip in the last couple years of living in Texas. You just made it a must do for me.
Much, much appreciated, sir. You definitely need to put it on your motorcycle to-do list. It's a special place for sure. Cheers and thanks!
What makes a video a great video is the content but also the editing. Broh you use the ride music that keep me engaged and the content is full motorcycle style. Congrats Sir
Very much appreciated. :-)
Great vid man! Every episode is another learning adventure ... keep them coming bro!
My pleasure and will do. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as always. =]
Holy Slingshot Batman!!! Beautifully shot video. Makes me want to hop on my bike right now and ride down to the Hill Country. Also, I love how you're keeping the lost art of navigating with a paper map alive.
It's definitely a rare skill these days. Ha! Thanks, Ramen. I'm glad you dug it.
@@TimKreitzAdventures I paused the video to try to get a look at the name/title of that map so I could buy one. It looks like it lays everything out very nicely. Where did you get it?
This was amazing. I never sit through and actually WATCH a 20 min vid but you sure as heck bet I did for this. Everything was amazing and I'm now planning to visit some of these places myself. googled starred them and everything. Awesome stuff man. I fell like I'm watching a travel television episode.
Thanks, man. That means a lot to me because I was really scared to put up a 20-minute episode. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm actually pretty surprised at my analytics overall for this video. Lots of people have stayed around for the whole thing, which is encouraging. I appreciate you letting me know.
I think this was your best adventure video yet! entertaining, visually good and tells the story of the trip well. Keep it up!
Thanks, Jon! It's definitely one of my recent favorites. Much appreciated. =]
Thanks so much for sharing this adventure! Rode the 3 sisters and hill country with friends in May of 2017,will never forget all the sights and cool places to stop and hang out just like y’all did.Ride safe!
My pleasure, Charles. Thanks for tuning in. Ride safe. :-)
Awesome trip. Thanks for taking us with you.
My pleasure and thanks for riding along, as always. :)
Your videos always bring good vibes
Thanks very much. I try. =]
Living vicariously through you guys while out on the road for work - thanks for sharing!
My pleasure as always. Travel safe and thanks!
Looked like a great time. Great video as always.
Appreciated, sir.
Always a good show.. Matt cracked me up though changing by the road..you have crazy (and honest )friends .👍🏽
Definitely. If there's one thing Matt loves to do, it's disrobe in public, apparently. LOL!
So much I admire and wish to takeaway from you and your total down-to-earth attitude. Looks like it was a trippy great time :-)
Thanks a million. That means a lot to me. And yepperz, it was definitely a groovy time for sure. :)
What....no Aussie meat pies ....that's bad. Amazing places you show us Tim, you have a wonderful part of the world and thanks for showing us, shame it got a bit cold but that's riding. RSM8
I was so disappointed that the meat pies were no more. I've resolved to learn how to make my own at home now. I love those things. LOL. Thanks as always, Kev. It's always a joy when I see one of your comments.
Yup So memy majestic views and clean air
Definitely. :)
Great Video Tim! Reminds me of trips I took with my dad years ago.. and the reason I got into riding in the first place... Can't wait to see more!
Thanks, Garrett. I live for these kinds of rides. There's a magic to Texas, and I hope some of it carried through in the video. =]
This may be your best video yet Tim , I really enjoyed it and like your style . Thanks for sharing .................
Thank you, Joel. It was a dream trip and I'm happy so much of it shows through in the video. Cheers. :-)
your welcome Tim
=]
Just Beautiful !!!
The hill country is heaven on earth. :-)
Supercool, looks like a great time!
Definitely. =]
Nice riding grounds Tim... I can see why it is so popular with the 2 (or 3) wheel crowd... I wish I had something like that near me... Thanks for bringing us along...
It's definitely a little piece of heaven down there. If I could figure out a way to make a living inthat area, I'd definitely move there. Thanks, GreyMare. :)
awesome views. glad you found something to wear so you can still ride somewhat comfortably. Cheers.
Thanks, man. #hoodielife LOL
Great installment +TimKreitzAdventures great use of the drone in San Angelo. The music was perfect for the tone of the edit. Made me want to go ride. Great vids do that!
Very much appreciated. I'm happy you enjoyed and thanks for the encouraging words. =]
Yea yea yea , another video . I just enjoy yours so much . They are wonderfully different from everyone else !!
I enjoy seeing Texas !! Totally different landscape than Ct .
Your side trips are so interesting !!
Landscape stills and videos outstanding . Liked the bike Museum also . Maybe in a previous life I was a two not 3 wheeled biker HaHa .
RSMF and keep videos coming !!!
Hahaha. Thanks so much. Glad you liked it, as always. Cheers!
Beautiful !
Thank you!
Tim i have to say mate you are getting me to love Texas and one good vid loved it all rsm
Thanks as always, Andy. I'm happy you enjoyed it. It was good times all the way.
I really enjoyed this! I've never been to Texas but you're making me want to go.
Thanks. You'd love it here. =]
Hey Tim thanks for the video. I am from San Angelo as well. My Dad was an Operator at the water plant that you filmed. He used to take me fishing right there next to the Lone Wolf dam. Right before he retired he worked at a small water plant at Mathis Field. He passed away in 1999. I sure miss him and West Texas. Thanks again, you video made my day.
Thank you so much for this comment, Ed. I, too, grew up fishing and swimming at Lone Wolf Bridge. It was great playing tennis and frisbee with my friends at the riverside park just the other side of Avenue L, as well. We lived on Iris Street near the base and it was all within walking distance. I'm very happy to know the video was meaningful to you. Cheers and best wishes.
Nice vids! Will be staying tuned for more to come. Jay in Indiana
Thanks and welcome to the channel. Cheers!
Excellent video Tim. Dad genes in full-effect. I have family that lives near the hill country, and they have some solid roads for riding. The boots and gym shorts were a nice look. Family Dollar saves the day.
Family Dollar was our friend all weekend. That's even where the gym shorts came from. LOL. Thanks, man!
What an awesome trip and great time! I put this one aside until I had the time to watch it properly, glad I did :)
You guys obviously know how to have fun on the road, and it was great to see you off the flat country for a change. I laughed a little at the irony of a Castle, with 2' thick rock walls, protected by a wire fence, LOL.
Those 3 wheelers... yeah, nah! (as they say here in Oz).
Gotta love a motorcycle museum, even without the pies, I guess...
I always take all my riding gear, but (as Wyvern Biker found on his visit) you can have 35C and 2C in a 24 hour period hereabouts!
Great stuff mate!
Thanks a billion, sir. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. I could easily live in the hill country for sure. Sometimes I think I've had enough of flat old West Texas. LOL.
Awesome video Tim, that line of Slingshots was insane. When you talked about all them being sold in Texas, exactly what I had been thinking to myself, haha.
That crazy weather too, sheesh. Thanks Tim for sharing. :)
Talk about a freak cold front; I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe all those Slingshots, either. LOL. Thanks, man!
This is the greenest scenery I've ever seen in your videos I think!
That mission looks very cool, great bit of history there.
A spirited but moderate pace is my style!
Holy crap at the Slingshots! Wow! I've only ever seen one or two before.
Small distance vanishing point? Welcome to 90% of the roads we ride here. lol
I always marvel at how much you guys can see through corners in most of the vids of the USA guys I follow. Our hills are mostly thickly forested.
No Aussie meat pies! The shame!
Ah yes, I've been caught out by a lack of layers on a bike trip before due to the surprising coolness at elevation when it was so hot down at sea level. Awesome video mate. It looked like a great trip that's for sure. :-)
Thanks as always, sir. Yeah, those meat pies were epic. I have since resolved to learn how to make them at home, so if you have any good recipes, FB them to me. LOL! Cheers, my friend.
Awesome video Tim...from stupid sling shots to nortons and beautifull triumphs, great trip to bad it got cold in the end, thanks for sharing
Thanks, man. It was definitely a long weekend of sights and sounds -- and cold. LOL. Much appreciated and cheers. :)
we are planing a tennesee trip from jersey how did the saddlebags do for u? ...they are sending me the same
They worked great. It was dry for the whole trip so I never had to use the rain slicks. Good product.
That was a great episode!! Growing up is only an opinion, I still feel like a teenager lol!!
Amen to that. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. LOL. =]
I think you might have had 95% of the Slingshots sold in north america there... but lets get on to the video.. this is next level stuff buddy.. you have really stepped up your game.. beautiful scenery in the hills, perfect music.. great story.. well done
That means more than I can say. Much appreciated and thanks a million. See you on the stream tonight. =]
Very interesting hearing you talk about how cold it was, and how that "never happens".....and here I am watching when yesterday, on May 10, 2019, our high in midland was about 45 degrees! I had already shut down my gas furnace for the season! And today, it will be a stretch if we make it to around 73 degrees!
Man, I would LOVE to see all those motorcycles, up close and personal!!
Great episode, with really excellent music, especially the music during the last part at the beautiful place on the water! That was a great segment!!
Stay young at heart, Tim!
The last couple of years, the warm weather has been arriving later and later. This was the last time I didn't take winter gear on this ride. The past two years, I've been in heavy touring gear with multiple layers.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing. Much appreciated.
Great vlog Tim. 👌🏼😎
Much appreciated, good sir! =]
Looked like good times dude 🏍👍🏼
Definitely.
So much goodness here.Great area to ride,great cinematography, music,etc. I am bummed to hear that the cafe in the museum is closed as I had heard good things about them.If you are around Mico next time check out the Dancing Bear Cantina.Last time I was there the burgers were awesome and service was great.
Thanks so much and very much agreed. I will miss those meat pies. PIP Ace Café Vanderpool. LOL.
This is one of your best vids yet! I really enjoyed watching this trip. It was better than most of the garbage I watch on Discovery or History channel. Heck they should be contacting you to get your Texas adventures spun into a TV show.
I would sooooooo love for that to happen. Fingers crossed for a miracle. LOL. Thanks as always!
Would love to ride with you someday. Thanks for another great video.
My pleasure, Mark. Thanks for the kudos. We usually get down to the hill country from West Texas every spring. Not sure of our dates for this year just yet. Cheers and much appreciated.
Always time well spent on your channel! How many miles was the trip? If you said it in the video I missed it.
Thanks, brother. Appreciated. Not mentioned in the vid, but we were at just under 900 miles total for the trip.
I like the addition of the drilldo on your handle bars!
Ribbed for added pleasure. :-)
great vid yet again mr Kreitz ... i need to spend at least a year on a bike in the US
Thanks and very much agreed. I need to make a coast-to-coast trip at some point myself. There are still a few areas of he country I've never seen, and via motorcycle would be the perfect ay to do it. Cheers!
These are very similar to the types of vlogs I have been attempting to setup. As soon as I get done taking care of my sick mother so i have a little more time. Great stuff.
Thanks, man. Best wishes and prayers for your mom.
When you can show someone's world to them in a way that helps them see it differently and appreciate it more, you've done something pretty special. This is one of our regular weekend rides, and I enjoyed seeing it through your eyes. We're going on a breakfast ride this Sunday. I think I'll suggest a ride to Medina to eat at the Apple Store. One of these days, I should ride to Midland to have breakfast with you and pick your brain about these wonderful videos. How do you get such good sound when you're having a conversation with your friends?
Thanks a million, as always, Pat. The next time you are riding through West Texas, keep me updated as to your schedule and we'll definitely make that get-together happen. I'd enjoy it very much. To answer your question, I spend as much time on audio as I do anything else. I use an omni-directional lav mic and do volume swelling and noise reduction in post (when necessary). I also do a fair amount of audio editing to take out silly things I said without having to cut footage. That was the case during the Slingshot parade, where I replaced the comments I didn't want on video with repeated ambient audio of the cars passing.
I just ran them for the second time, but words can’t capture the half of it. There are so many great rides down there. We will do them a once more this year if things work out. Fair warning... If y’all run 80-90 much, I’d just have to catch up later
We were just down there again a couple of months ago and it was really crowded and crawling with cops. Two of the guys in our group got tickets and we saw a bunch of accidents. Still, it's a beautiful area down there. I think we're gonna start going on weekdays to escape more of the hubbub and buffoonery.
Looking forward to this vid Tim cheers mate. I'm with Clif on the "why not add another rear wheel?" to the Slingshot. XD
Thank you, sir. With those slingshots, since they have three wheels, it's motorcycle safety rules instead of car safety rules. Still, for that price, you can buy a really nice used sports car and have four wheels. ;-)
Yeah that rock face was in my face a lot of the time I rode the three sisters
Exactly, especially on 336 and 337.
I don't know about the negative comments, but you guys seem like a riot to ride with.
Oh yeah, it's a blast; constant shenanigans with those two.
@@TimKreitzAdventures Are you guys based out in west texas, or closer to the hill country?
We all live in Midland.
I honestly don't get slingshots either. Looks like a really great ride!
Yep, for that price, I'd just buy a nice used sport car and get the fourth wheel. LOL. Cheers and thanks. :)
Awesome adventure indeed with the strange weather turning cold in May 😖 and in Texas. Lol at the boredom cam😂
Thanks, Keith. And we've been fighting cold spells on and off for the entire past week. It's a strange springtime this year. :-)
Tim Kreitz Adventures indeed , the weather gone wonky
Definitely.
I am sad to have missed you while you were near town!
We stayed in Junction, so we weren't as far east or south as originally planned. Catch ya next time.
Man it's beautiful out there
It's a little slice of heaven. I'm thinking of going back in June.
The biggest reason the slingshot works with the 3 wheels is so that it doesn't have to follow federal regulations for safety equipment(adding weight) in an automobile. No crash bumpers, no airbags, etc. It's the closest most of us would ever get to an Arial Atom.
Yep, car geometry but with motorcycle safety rules. I'm surprised at how popular they are, though. Interesting contraptions.
I imagine it feels like a mans go-kart. I would drive one if somebody gave me one, but otherwise I will just stick to two wheels.
Same here. ;-)
Beautiful ride Brother! I've been through San Angelo and down through Junction many times. One of my favourite places in the world, so far... US 87/83 is a great drive in a semi, I can't wait to do it on a bike...
Thanks, man. I agree bigtime. Starting at about San Angelo all the way down to Bandera is my favorite area of Texas. Sooooooo beautiful. :-)
Nice video, very much appreciate you posting, yeah, I know I'm a bit late catching this video.
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the nice comment.
@@TimKreitzAdventures I rode the sisters on my HOG, may have been the year after you posted, just a great part of TX to be in for sure. My wife and I are leading a small group of Mini Coopers down there this coming April, so I was looking for some ideas, so again, thx for the video. Of course, there are a lot of breweries and wineries down there as well as some good roads, I've even done an off-roading wine tour where we travelled across country to join the venues. So much to do and see, it's definitely a hidden gem for anyone who hasn't been down to the Hill Country.
Have fun. We'll be there again next month, too. For the past few decades, we try to go the Hill Country every April during the bloom. Here are a couple more previous trips if you're interested:
ruclips.net/video/VT4AYlOq8UA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/YTQQw5lKqDo/видео.html
I live just north of San Angelo (actually work in San Angelo as well) and I have been on those roads many times. Eden, Menard, Junction, Leakey, Medina, Bandera, you name it. Been on the Sisters many times as well. Fantastic video!
Glad you enjoyed it. I'll probably do an entire episode in san Angelo this summer, including some of the places I lives and the places I spent time. Cheers.
There are a lot of good roads to ride all over the Hill Country. There are enough cool roads you could easily spend five days there and not ride them all. 👍👍
We've hit a lot of them over the years. Check out my Texas Hill Country video playlist on this channel to see some of the others.
Planned a trip to Big Bend National Park in 1986 looked on the map and fm 337 looked interesting took it on the way to Del Rio was blown away there were no motorcycles on it or a car or truck for miles there were no names for these roads I knew right then and there this secret wouldnt last forever. Came back to the big city and raved about these roads and nobody would go with me said it was too far to ride 300 miles to ride some roads in the Texas Hill country. How things have changed now the sisters are considered by many a top 10 ride in America and its crowded compared to back then.
3 wheels because it would be exponentially more expensive to make it a sport car and comply with all the federal regulations.
Great video, I really enjoyed it.
Exactly; three wheels, so motorcycle safety rules instead of car safety rules. Still, for that price, you can buy a really nice used sports car and have four wheels. ;-) Cheers and thanks!
Tim Kreitz Adventures but crazy burnouts
True. :-)
Love the trips man, Iv got NC in may I'm looking forward to, I wish I could ride and make money and never stop lol
Same here, brother. Talk about a dream come true to get paid to ride, especially via social media. But alas, for some of us, RUclips will probably always be just a glorified hobby. It's still great fun.
Such beautiful places man....Also, I always wondered what a calm dude would look like when triggered...thanks to the three wheelers & Clif, I now know, hehe ;)
Hahahaha! Clif was immediately disgusted at the sight of them LOL! Thanks, Bimble. :)
If looks could kill. Hahaha!
=]
a spongebob cut away in a Tim Kreitz video?! color me surprised lol
LOL. Not the first time, BTW. :-)
Sorry I missed riding with you guys again. Wifey and I had other plans.
We'll get a day ride together in the next week or two. I'll keep you in the loop.
you really got a nack for cinematography tim love your videos.
Thanks, man. Much appreciated.
I have read about the Three Sisters are for years. Nice to see it on video. Hahahaha the black hoodie. Not sure if you look like the Grim Reaper or a Black Smurf LOL
Total druid mode. LOL. =]
20 min vid 🤔 I really enjoyed every minute of it 😋👍 Texas is Like is own country very huge but I really enjoyed this lovely ride Tim lol I agree with your friend why didn't just added s forth wheels on the slingshot 🤔
that was alot of slingshots 😥
but great adventure tim 😙👍 until next time .... ride safe and stay pozzie bro
Thanks, Will. Much appreciated. #Pozzie4Life :-)
Great vid tim!
Thanks, Neil! =]
Damn nice riding there; too bad it would take me about three days just to get there, I'd love to see it! Had a weird experience up in PA a while back; going up a nice hilly two-lane, saw a Can-Am Spyder going the other way, followed by about two dozen more; strange sight! Cool museum; if you get over to NC, you have to check out Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley. Some of the bikes there are the only known existing ones of their kind, and they all run! I took a pic of a 1911 belt-drive Harley, and not five minutes later Dale Walksler fired it up and rode it outside!
A place you might be interested in if you ever make it to the Texas Hill Country is Dick's Garage in San Marcos. Hundreds of rare cars and engines, all in running order, including several Duesenbergs and even a Tucker.
You know it's a good video when 20 minutes feels like 2. A little history/education, music that complements the mood, the right combination of banter and shutting the f up to enjoy the scenery and the ride. Winning recipe for a great video.
Very much appreciated. I was nervous about the runtime, so I appreciate the kind words and thoughts.
Tim Kreitz Adventures you can't please all the people all the time. Much like your music, you just gotta do what YOU enjoy. If you start worrying about what the masses want, your channel will be all wheelies, crashes, etc. That's not what we sub'd for. Keep up the good work.
100-percent agreed. :-) Cheers.
Great video Tim 👍🏼 , BTW, did you pack-back your gear ? I noticed the other guys are all toured up. Your like me rolling FZ style 👍🏼 lol
Thanks, man. I had a backpack and saddlebags. I probably should've taken one of my other bikes on this trip, but I really enjoy the FZ in the twisties. Cheers. ;-)
The western third or so is currently closed due to floods and damaged bridges.
Also, the term you are looking for is “sight limit” or something similar. Vanishing point is a term from art indicating where two lines seem to come together, such as railroad tracks do in the distance.
www.meetup.com/Irvine-Beginner-Motorcycle-Riders-Meetup/messages/boards/thread/50769288?_cookie-check=so6BdYrlacbL2Stc
vanishing point noun
Definition of vanishing point
1 : a point at which receding parallel lines seem to meet when represented in linear perspective
2 : a point at which something disappears or ceases to exist
I suppose a word can mean whatever you want. But this attempt to create a new meaning seems off to me.
Notice you have to explain what you mean by the term; it is not obvious.
What exactly is “vanishing” in this usage? Nothing. “Sight limit” or “limit of sight” is clear and does not have to be explained, which is better.
That's how we always taught it when I was a riding instructor. But I'm sure it was originally derived from the geometrical term and then appropriated into riding theory with its slightly different definition.
Tim Kreitz Adventures That’s how words change their meaning over time. Someone hears a word and thinks it sounds great or misunderstands it. Nothing wrong with that if it is useful. That’s how “literally” came to mean “not literally.”
Hahahaha, exactly. :)
Hey Tim, which direction should I hit the three sisters route from for the best views? Thanks
If you want the best chance to see all the views, I'd plan to spend two days there. Ride it clockwise the first day and counter-clockwise the second (or vice versa). If I only have time to ride them once, I usually go clockwise (but that's more about ride preference and less about views). The entire loop is about 100 miles, so you could do both directions completely in a single day, though you'd be in a bit of a hurry. There are lots of photo opportunities, so take your time and stop often. If you stay somewhere such as Leakey, you can enjoy some of the other roads and popular nearby spots as well. Have fun.
Nice trip, Tim. I ride those roads myself when I can. Usually with Amy my wiener dog riding along in a backpack. I was saddened a bit to see that you did not stop by the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop in Leaky. The owners Rob and Robin are good people and The Bent Rim Grill is a great place to eat.
I've heard good things about that place. We will definitely have to put that on the list for next time. Cheers and thanks. :-)
Great vid man..... Buddy didn't look too happy with the slingshots lol
Thanks, man. He'd had enough after the first 50 passed, and there were still 100 or so to go. LOL.
Tim Kreitz Adventures holy crap dude .... do u ever ride east ?? I'd love to invite ya to join Struckus and I on an east coast ride to Nova Scotia
Oh man, that would be epic, but a ride like that is a bit more than I can chew now. I do appreciate that invitation. Someday though, I'm just gonna ride from one end of America to the other. It'll happen.
Tim Kreitz Adventures untill then keep up the good work
Will do. ;-)
Awesome adventure Tim, too bad Matt and Cliff abandoned and left you there, but it's OK.
They were quite cold when they returned. LOL. Thanks! :)
LOL I was in that video. I was in a slingshot wearing the batman helmet. You can't have a 4th wheel because then it will be classified as a car and then it has to have airbags, crash testing blah blah blah... and then the price goes WAY up. I've been riding street bikes since I was 16. Because of a hip issue, riding bikes hurts too much even on short rides.
I live in Bandera less than 100 miles away from the twisted sisters and have never been to them i need to get my ass in gear and go.
Definitely. If I lived anywhere in the Hill Country, I'd be there all the time. You'll love those roads.
Amazing Tim. We're heading to Comfort, TX. this weekend for a mountain bike race on Sunday. Saturday, we're pulling out the VT1300 and go have a look around. Any ideas around there for us to see? Looks like we missed you by a week. Three Sisters is on the bucket list.
Oh yeah man, if you're gonna be in Comfort, ride up just north of Fredericksburg and go around the Willow City Loop. It's a slow ride, but you will *love* it. Have a fun event and be safe. Cheers!
Tim, made it up there and rode around Kerrville over to Luckenbach and up to Fredericksburg but ran out of time to do the Willow City Loop. We will be going back soon. What beautiful country. We have hills over here in CLL but that is gorgeous. Thanks for the recommendation. We have it planned for the next trip.
Fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The shorts at 13:20 are available on Ebay.
Just added them to my Wish List. =]
Just finished watching the vid with my wife. Hey, Matt. My wife says, "Nice Hasselhoff!!!"
Hahahahaha! I feel a meme coming on. LOL!
Hell at least the Museum was open when you guys were there, every time we are down there that place is closed up tighter than a bulls ass in fly season.
There are rumors that the owner is trying to sell it again.
what was that paper thing with the roads on it at 16:16 ?
No kidding, right? LOL. :-)
how was this ride on a fz07. I am thinking about doing this run but the longest ride ive taken my fz on is to midland from fort stockton.
Just fine. I do long rides on my FZ-07 all the time. I have a set of semi-hard saddlebags for it and comfy backpack. I've been gone for up to a week at a time.
how long does it take to ride all 3 roads? im out in Houston and want to do this
All three are about 100 miles total. Your average speed will be lower on weekends because of all the traffic and activity. Make a day of it and stop to see the sights along the way, like we did, and you'll have a great time. Ride safe and enjoy. Cheers.
wait what?? pies?? they sell proper pies, like real meat pies from the land downunder style?? oh you have to get back there again one day :-) So green and undulating compared to the rest of Texas, this is certainly a great change i the vids mate, bloody well done!!
Yes, and there has been lots of rain so far this year, so everything is a very lush green (much like in the Fort Davis episode). I love it when it looks like that. And yes, those meat pies were epic. I was so so sad to see them gone that I came back from the trip resolved to learn how to make my own. Fingers crossed!
I agree Texas is a beautiful place well the sights you show us anyway I have the same passion for Australia. If you want real Aussie meat pies come here where we just call them meat pies. love watching you channel keep up the good work.
I'd love to visit Australia some day. If it ever happens, you'll be one of the first to know! Cheers and thanks, as always. :)
Cool

Too bad I was headed in the opposite direction as you guys. I could have met you for some Hill Country food somewhere. rsmf
No doubt. I have your vid about heading to Lubbock in my Watch Later list right now, and as I was putting it there, I thought to myself how we'd probably just missed each other. LOL.
Like your exhaust, I have a similar one from Black Widow much better than the underslung shorty. Sounds nice.
Much appreciated, Frank. Cheers. :-)
