- Motorcycle riding the Three Twisted Sisters in the Hill country of Texas.
Do you want to ride the gnarliest roads that the state of Texas has to offer? Looking for winding roads? Sweeping curves? Roller coaster dips? Spectacular scenery?
Then it’s time for you to head on out to the Hill Country and ride the Three Twisted Sisters - Ranch Road (RR) 335, RR 336 and RR 337 - all paved two-lane roads set in the backdrop of Texas scenery as good as it gets - clear winding rivers, roads that buck and twist and million dollar views spreading near and far. Hands down, this 100-mile loop is, without a doubt, among the best, most challenging motorcycle roads in the state of Texas.
In addition we went tent camping in Garner State Park and watched millions of bat swirl out from the Frio Bat Cave.

I knew I would get sucked into this. Great road find.. Can't wait to ride it. On my bucket list.
thx. KP3
That looks like a lot of fun.
The Kia Soul has a cameo in this video. 😁
Nothing better than bike friends and a campfire.❤️
so true
You both are perhaps the top reason I have no need to watch TV anymore even as seldom watched. Good stuff yet again. Thank you for bringing me along your journey!!! A+
Yes, that white, chalky, gritty, slippery stuff is ground-up limestone. It is very slippery, almost like riding on graphite, at times. It's a relatively soft rock & erodes easily with exposure to the elements. Gotta watch out for it here in Texas. It's all over the place, especially in the Hill Country.
Love the video.
Heading up there next week...can't wait...CMA Rally in Bandera...great video...
Dropping a bike is not fun. At least you had help. Glad you're ok.
Those bike friend helped. 👍🤣🤣
I'm a native Texan living in AZ.. Have ridden the Three Sisters years back and they are as challenging as the mountain twisties in the AZ mountains. As a kid we pretty much lived at Garner State Park in the summer. You two are making me home sick.
My family is from Leakey, I've been on those roads many, many times even if not on a bike.
I live about an hour away; love riding the Sisters.
We did this about 3 yrs ago & it was the best trip. Street tacos & great sites. Wish I could attach a still shot photo but not that advanced. Love revisiting. Actually late catching up on your site. We likely went the year before you. Just loved it
We did it during Covid so didn’t get any tours except a cave.
WOW you Started at the very beginning. Awesome. Thanks for being with us. Cheers!!
Glad you learned hoe to pronounce Leaky. I can't imagine pulling a trailer on the sisters. The up and down road makes me seasick. I pulled off to the side of the road on a hill on my way to Garner. With my tent duffle on the pillion, I dragged my leg across the seat and the back rolled off the side stand and fell on me. The highway white stripe was under my waist on top of this hill. I was really afraid of being run over. An RV drove by and offered no help. I extracted myself from under the bike and later discovered that the fall had crushed my air pump.
What a coincidence, wearing my ThreeTwisted Sisters T shirt when I clicked on your video. We flew to the USA last year to visit friends in the DFW area and had to opportunity to ride these roads. Great memories!
One of our favorite roads
+George Smith love the hill country!🍻
I really enjoy your riding footage. All I need is to turn on a fan at high speed and it would almost be like being on the road. Yep, TheThree Sisters are definitely bucket list material.
Right on!
I came across your channel while researching for my first motorcycle camping trip. I went to Big Bend National Park from Fort Worth, TX. After 3 days of solo camping from my 2012 Harley Softail, I've determined that motorcycle camping is not for me. Without a trailer, it's really hard to pack everything without feeling overloaded or top heavy. I will live vicariously through your channel. I love your videos. Keep the excellent content coming.
Enjoyed your company..you are a great couple. Stay safe happy trails. JP
Thanks
Beautiful video!
RR335 was being repaved when we went thru 2 different semis spun out going uphill from the gullies in the hot tar and lose stone very interesting still loved the ride
Time to consider getting an adventure bike!
🤔🤔
Enjoyed your video! Try visiting Lost Maples in Vanderpool around October next time you're in the area.
Valla con dios
I love this route. I love your videos! Leaky = Lake-y. Just gorgeous! Safe travels. Enjoying your journey. I learned to swim in the beautiful, mighty Frio when I was 3 years old.
Lake-y I should know that We've been in texas for 12 years. 🤣🤣
Two Wheels Big Life 😆 Thinking about all the crazy Texas town spellings vs pronunciations!
Hate gravel... would not be a road for me. Great vid
My wife (Jamie) and I have road many miles in the Hill Country. It is something everyone should do, but after we discovered Arkansas we rode up there more. We lived in the N. Texas area for years. We also love touring on the bike and do a lot of 2up and we are so excited to see another moto camping couple. We travel on one bike and camp so we are pretty good at the packing thing. Really enjoyed the video and we look forward to more videos. Keep up the great work and maybe our paths will cross soon.
+Jerry James Got families in Arkadelphia. We love Arkansas. Hope our paths cross also.
Hello everyone, I'm doing the twisted sister's next weekend, coming from ATX, will someone from this awesome community plz let me know where I should start from...
Thanks, and stay up...
I ride Goldwings for years now and I rather ride highway speed in hail that ride down a loose gravel road. I have felt your pain.
yup, reality just set in. TTFN
Good content 🤗
Definitely want to checkout Garner State Park AND sit in the Frio River. Let us know when y’all head that way again. 🤗
+Darrell Gilbreath definitely will do .
+Darrell Gilbreath 👍👍
+Darrell Gilbreath Definitely will
Back when I had my bike, I couldn't believe how squirrely it got when I got on a road they just chip sealed. I thought I was going to loose it. So I know your fear. You redeemed yourself on the tent :-) my mom use to go to AZ every year for winter. I always asked why the desert when toy could have TX. I still wonder why she didn't.
+Gary Hanson 👍👍👍
+Gary Hanson I never liked chip seal roads. 🤞
@@TwoWheelsBigLife they're fine once they pick up the loose stuff, but no good for road bikes while loose. Watching your channel site makes me miss my bike. But in Montana we end up leaving them parked for winter.
It's not the Three Twisted Sisters, it's the Twisted Sisters or Three Sisters. It's a Texas thing. 😁
Loose gravel and street tires, never a good combination. After just a day riding the southwest on my Triumph Thunderbird Storm (800#), and my wife on her 1999 Triumph Legend tt (500#), I decided that, the next time, we'd put tires on our bikes with a more aggressive tread that can cope better with gravel, sand, loose dirt, and heavily rutted roads. We rode our street bikes with tires designed for pavement on all of those surfaces and, at times, it was dicey. So, although I haven't researched tires yet, I'm thinking something along the lines of the Dunlop Trailmax or Michelin Anakee's. Here in OH, KY, and IN, where we do most of our riding, we rarely encounter dirt and gravel roads. Dirt and gravel require different techniques for braking and cornering than the relatively smooth pavement we typically ride.
Yes no fun. That was the only time that bike has taken a nap 🤣🤣
@@TwoWheelsBigLife . ...................(a nap). Good one Richard!!! A+ humor!
Vlog 3 :-) Hope you didn't scratch your bike to much :-( Can happen to any one. stay safe.
Nope I didn’t scratch her too much but my pride was little battered.
White slick rock=caliche
I too need your t-shirts,,but i don't have money 😔
Seams as though Harley would put backup systems on their heaver bikes.
There is aftermarket. I have Chris so.......🤣🤣
Can you add another seat on top of the trailer make it 3 person rides?
you even look intimated by the gent....says a lot.
Love your videos!! I’ve been watching you guys for a while now. I really like the choice of roads that you have exposed me to. I’m also impressed with your video skills. What software do you use for editing?
Thanks for the compliment. The software is Adobe Premier Pro CC.
Stayed at The Historic Leakey in November - I knew it as D'Rose for many years and have spent many happy weekends there. Leakey - you better pronounce it right or they are going to get on you. Pronounced LAKE-E. Your summary of the roads is spot on. Watch fixation in the corners and for gravel/rocks.
Yes Lake-E we agree you can’t take Texas out of the person. We do love that state.
Just wanting to know if tires were budgeted in the trip? I can't imagine buying tires for two bikes.
Yes they are in the budget along with oil changes.
So I also have a RoadGlide and am considering pulling a trailer/camper next year when I retire (semi retire). Never pulled a trailer before. I'm concerned about dropping the bike as you did when gravel is in the mix. If you had an option of a different bike,, what would that be ? What's your thought on having a Trike as an option for the trips you've taken so far?
Unfortunately that mishap was because i was going to fast into that gravel.. Yes a Trike will be more stable,but i like the lean myself. You just need to be careful and remember you have a trailer. its easy to forget you have a bushtec behind you, because they pull so well
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Love watching you guys! Its my favorite Reality show! Just started contributing on Patron. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Always remember to beware of issues in dirt, mud, gravel, etc. Maintain your momentum; so adding throttle may be required at anytime...do NOT allow your bike to have your speed decreased! Also, use LIGHT touch force as you ride in those same conditions! Intentionally or not, tensing your grip on the handle bar can put you on the ground immediately. (Check (motojitsu) pages.) Good Rides
what's that gun!?!?
The 911 of my friends? That one
Pronounced Lakey, e is silent.
sad
