Cross-Country Motorcycle Trip | Day 5: Texas Hill Country (The Twisted Sisters)

In April 2021, I rode my 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic cross-country, alone for over 2800 miles from Pacific Beach in San Diego, CA to Atlantic Beach in Jacksonville, FL. This is Day 5: Texas Hill Country's Twisted Sisters Ranch Road 335, 336, and 337 to Beaumont, TX.
This video features POV motorcycle riding footage from a GoPro Hero 9 Black and GoPro Hero Session plus moto vlog video from iPhone 8 Plus.

I’m from San Antonio and just got my first motorcycle, it’s a Vulcan 900. I was doing research and found your “Day 1” video and I’ve been watching since, and to see you going through San Antonio just made my day. Now I know im going to take a trip like this!

[@CrunchMoto]

Awesome, congrats on the first bike! Welcome to the club. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Nuggettha80sguy]

San Antonio native and Yuma resident right here 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@stevenbuis4490]

I am watching on a tablet and it looks like you have a patch from Pompano Beach Fl. Went to school there and lived in the area 50 years. Was a great place to grow up but like everything in life has really changed. I bailed out to N Ga

[@CrunchMoto]

Yessir, lived down there for about 5 years. Thanks for watching!

[@keepitrunninggaragerathofc4935]

Haven't ridden Twisted Sisters but you are now getting into my home turf. No much to see from Beaumont to the state line, except construction and slow traffic.

[@CrunchMoto]

Definitely check them out sometime. Agreed about Beaumont, though the refineries around Port Arthur were at new experience for me.

[@LonestarTaino]

The twisted sisters is an awesome route. We normally stay in Fredericksburg, TX.

[@CrunchMoto]

I’ll check that out next time I pass through. Thanks!

[@Motoramblings]

Loving this series!!!! You do a great job with video, and editing, to tell your story.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thank you for that! Editing to keep the story moving forward is the hardest part. It legitimately takes an hour of editing for each minute of finished product.

[@Motoramblings]

@@CrunchMoto whoa! That's putting in a lot of work!!!!! The finished product is amazing to watch!

[@CrunchMoto]

@@Motoramblings Thanks! I've been pleasantly surprised by all the positive comments. Even the criticisms have been constructive and politely worded.

[@Motoramblings]

@@CrunchMoto that's at! I know most of the "MotoVlogging" community is super nice, and supportive of each other. It's a pretty cool group!

[@jmsolano0516]

You must love tacos lol. I’m really enjoying these videos dude

[@CrunchMoto]

What’s not to love about tacos? Thanks for watching, I’m glad people enjoy the videos.

[@renniesmith8073]

I'm from California and live in Florida. And man do I miss good tacos!

[@bigredmachine55]

Enjoyed the vid. Just found the channel. Subbed!

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! Cheers

[@bobnelson2499]

My kids live out in TX and that's my next ride after VAMM21. Be well sir.

[@CrunchMoto]

I may have to check out VAMM21... its only a couple hours from my house.

[@bradboustead1682]

I may be getting old and wimpy but I thought the drivers in Texas drove fast. Even on the smaller secondary roads, hit the edge of town and zoom! 75 mph.

[@CrunchMoto]

Take your time. Enjoy the ride. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gradymike6785]

What type of shots did you use the GoPro session for? And what did you think about it?

[@CrunchMoto]

I used the Session as a secondary camera. It’s small and light, but has no (or very poor) image stabilization. Got some shots with it on the afternoon of the 1st day, a little in Gila National Forest, and again in TX at Big Bend and hill country. I got it a couple years ago, but added the Hero 9 as my primary camera b/c the Hero supports external mic.

THE TWISTED SISTERS IS MY NEXT BIG ROAD TRIP. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WEHRE TO STAY, CLOSE TO THE SISTERS. DAN, TATU DAN, N.O., La.

[@CrunchMoto]

I was riding from the west so I stayed in Leakey at Riverstone Cabins. It was very convenient, clean, and comfortable. Had I been riding from the east, I would have stayed close to Bandera. Enjoy your ride!

[@harveylongone3293]

Can't wait to do my trip San Francisco to hell who knows lol

[@CrunchMoto]

Enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching mine 😎

Actually, Stephenville is the Cowboy Capital of the world.

[@CrunchMoto]

The guy behind the counter at The Cowboy Store may disagree.

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

@@CrunchMoto, He may, but it's been that way, for a long time. Bandera got the name, officially, just because of some vote about it. Tarleton has a rodeo team, and there are horse clinicians around Stephenville. A famous one is Clinton Anderson, whose place is around the corner from my parent's house. There's even a business called "Capital Hatters".
