The Fredericksburg-Stonewall area has become known as the Peach Capital of Texas and Benjamin Lester Enderle is known as the Father of the Hill Country. Fredericksburg is home to popular attractions like the National Museum of the Pacific War, Texas Wine Country, award-winning shopping, and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

Yup as others have said, those are cypress trees. In Spanish, they are known as sabinal which is the name of the river where they found the “secret” swimming hole that’s about 2 miles from my home. And yes it’s very shaded and beautiful in warm weather. The museum is open March through October and then only Friday through Sunday. But it’s definitely worth the stop especially if one is a British bike fan. I’m lucky to be able to ride out here and if anyone visits, be aware of the wildlife on the road.

Consider adding a day riding in the Davis Mountains down in the Big Bend Region. Spectacular riding... (especially if you're a Midwesterner who makes it out there in February). Historic Fort Davis is a good spot too. Imagine yourself stationed (sentenced?) to duty there pre airconditioning. Great lunch spot at the local "Drug Store" in the town of Fort Davis, too. Very Old School kind of place. Ft. Davis State Park a good stop too. Great facilities.

Garner State Park, in the Texas Hill Country, is the most popular state park in Texas for overnight camping. It often fills by noon in peak parts of the season. The park is popular with campers and local residents for its activities on the Frio River and the dances held nightly during the spring and summer. Garner State Park in Concan is the most visited park in Texas, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. From September 2020 to May 2021, more than 317,000 people visited the park. Palo Duro Canyon is the second most visited, with a respectable 306,000 in that same timeframe.

Fun fact. I have been all over that area since i was a kid as my Uncle owned land & is from Medina. The road, 337, use to not go all the way thru from Medina to Vanderpool. We could here them dynamiting the road during the day and we would all load up and go see it in the evenings. Great memories. Now i ride motorcycles thru the same area i was all over in a pickup with my Uncle. Showing my age i guess!! Lol. The tree i bet you were looking for is the third largest oak tree in Texas. Kinda hard to find and on private property but can see it from 1120. It is HUGE!!! Group of us guys going to Big Bend, again, in April and will be traveling thru Hill Country. Can't wait!!!!

Great video. We rode the Twisted Sisters back in 2013. Such a vast area of open range ranches. We only had a day to ride but what we did we enjoyed it. We have the Butler Map as well. Love those maps. The fork leak , makes me wonder about how we are tying our bikes down. The comments have been very informative. We have only trailered the bikes once since we bought our cargo trailer. We will be taking more caution in how we are tying down the bikes. Hope the leak will be an easy fix. Ride safe.

The trees were Bald Cypress. Riding the Hill Country is real scenic. Fredericksburg, Lucenbach, Blanco, Kendelia, Sisterdale, Boerne, Pipes Creek, Bandera, and Medina Texas are great places to ride. Between Fredericksburg and Stonewall is wine country. There's a bunch of wineries there. You may want to visit Floores Country Store in Helotes, TX. There's also Gruene Hall in Gruene, TX.

I appreciate this video because it reminds me of how interesting the hill country roads are. I live in San Antonio and have ridden those roads many times and at times take these roads for granted. If you had stayed on the lower Sabinal road you would have come out near Utopia. Not all of it is unpaved. Some of the public roads do have gates and go through private but the road is public. If I’m not familiar with the area I am hesitant to go past the gate.

You should put a block under the bikes so you dont compress the front suspension so much that could blow out the seals if that's the problem plus it stops the bike from bouncing so much. It's just a thought. It's what I do whenever I'm trailering my bikes. Another great video be safe.

Kind of a short guy so I have buy what fits. You mentioned while driving on blacktop and you see dirty roads you take it. I hope the 750 is strong enough to go to some of the places you've been. Kud growned grand kid and great grands gone, retired and 65, hope I can do what you guys are doing. Be safe be careful love you video even withbase camp

On your list of states that can fit in TX you said Maine to which I was really surprised. Actually, Maine is NOT on your list. (I think you meant Mass.) I'm a Maineiac and I know that several CTs and MAs can fit inside the state of Maine. No matter. I get the point. TX is big! BTW, I'm a relatively new 2 wheeler and I've been watching a number of videos lately about wheeling in the great state of Texas. One of the things I really envy is the apparent large variety of destinations within a reasonable distance for people to experience by means of rural roads. Maine has its share especially along the coast and in southern Maine. The challenge is that that's where all the people/tourists are, and unencumbered travel can be a challenge. I hope someday to be able to do some touring in Texas. Safe travels ... Oh, liked and subscribed! :)

Rich, I heard you talking about the GPS "advantage" - because you can see how tight a turn is. I remember the last time you trusted s GPS, in Michigan's U.P. 🤔 That did not go well. Be careful out there. P.S. What's with the earring? You have a beautiful woman already, who are you trying to impress? 😉

Buy the way you have to look up Engine Hawk. They are a British company that sell motorcycle jackets. The jackets are made with the feedback of riders like you. The jackets look good on and off the bike, meaning you don't look like a "biker". They are rated AA for skid&fall they have armor in the back shoulder & elbow, But you can't see or really feel it. There are over 20 different men's jackets and so far only 3 womens.( Engine Hawk) is only 1 1/2 years old. I have a leather & a textile jacket. Look them up you will love what you see!!!

I did the RR336 leg of the sisters in an 18 wheeler flat bed. I was coming from Rocksprings going to Honda and thought it would cut some time. Big mistake, not a good road for 48ft flatbed with a load of fencing material. BTW, there is Alamo BMW off I10 near Boerne if you want to have your fork leak looked at.

Hi guys! You probably got an answer to your leaking front telever shock, but mine (2017 GSA) also leaked while under warranty as well. You won't necessarily get an error code as I did not. If you make it to San Antonio, there is a BMW dealership there. I used to live in San Antonio.
