Texas Hill Country - The Twisted Sisters

[@jcpicarelli]

Man, I really like the way you ride.You never cross the line, stay on your lane and keep a safe distance from the guy in front. I know you are going fast, but I can tell you aren't in the limit of your skills and don't take unnecessary risks. I think is the rigth way to get some fun and minimize the dangers. Keep going. Greetings from Brazil

[@AntaresSQ01]

Kinda crazy how your driving mentality is when riding 2 up, everyone who rides with me: "Wow you'r so smooth and so safe, very careful blah blah blah" meanwhile when i'm on my own the little devil comes out lol That said always riding within your limits is the greatest skill you can have.

In the Austin area, my favorite is 2769 (Lime Creek Rd) on the north side of Lake Travis. It tends to be slow and technical with lots of tight switchback corners marked 15-20 mph. There's no significant runoff in most areas, though not totally catastrophic if you mess up.

[@GrayBeardOverland]

In the northwest, we call those sweepers. Twisties for us are much tighter. Looks like fun.

[@CubanRider]

not a lot of twisties in Texas, unfortunately

[@ethannicosia979]

Absolutely love the Sisters, was even dumb enough to drive it during the ice storm last Feb. The surface is shit though, expect 8-9/10ths available total grip from normal and it eats tires quickly during the summer months.

[@CubanRider]

I'd ride it often if I lived closer, but it's a good 2.5 hours from me, and yeah it tears up those tires for sure!

[@rjdasilva]

You're such a smooth rider. Rock on! 💪👍

[@CubanRider]

Thanks bro, I see that you have karting videos on your channel. I probably love karting as much as I love motorcycling.

[@hunkyleepickle]

great ride, great video! would love to see a rough route of the roads you went on while there, i'll be going there for the first time end of april, i'll be going a little slower on a rented R9t however!

[@CubanRider]

We stayed in Kerrville, took 16 to Medina, then 337 from Medina to Leakey; then you have a big square between Leakey and Camp Wood, with 335 and 336 taking you to 41, you can either take clockwise or ccw.

[@grijalvaIc]

CR, I like how you kept el caballo in check! My Superduke liked doing the same thing this weekend at Homestead Motor Speedway , real excitement.

[@CubanRider]

Haha, the big bikes want to get out of line when hanging with sportbikes, but that's okay. My cousin races at Homestead-Miami Speedway all the time, but I haven't made it with the BMW down there.

[@grijalvaIc]

Cuban Rider , would be a pleasure to have you down here and meet . Ride safe 👍.

[@aopa1070]

Be careful out there, there is plenty of "invisible dirt/rocks", like I saw in your previous videos. I ride out there frequently, and have been caught off guard by it even when I know it is there.

[@CubanRider]

Thanks for the heads up, those roads didn't feel too confidence inspiring.

[@pilyomotoride7781]

3 sister is our go to ride on the weekend. Just watch out for the local cop on a white Ford f150 on 337 between medina and vanderpool .

[@waldenbuilder]

Nice video...but I hit gravel on that road on my tenth ride...wound up in a ditch full of boulders

[@MrLeadbelly1966]

Between the gravel, pot holes, & the deer, really keeps you on your toes...

[@Brakelateatmsn]

That T/C intervention at 2:25 was pretty intense! Apparently lots of the riders were complaining about the road conditions. Looked to be pretty cool out too from the overcast skies. You and that bike continue to impress... I can't even get my Super Duke R to wheelie the way you do! Funny that the R1 rider rolled back into that 'V', imagine if he was on a really tall bike! Glad to see he didn't tip that beauty over right there in the gutter.

[@CubanRider]

That R1 rider is a good friend. I thought it was funny, I would have lost my footing on the tall BMW.

[@Brakelateatmsn]

Went for a long ride with the wifey on the R1200GS/A over the weekend, and I almost did the same; Stopped on a dirt shoulder with an incline, and with the bike suspension button set in the '2 up' position, it really feels much taller than the 2 or so inches it raises the bike. Even at 6-02, fully loaded panniers, passenger and topped off with fuel, my little chicken leg could barely save us. Hardest, but most effective thing to do, is to just gas it and go into motion, and let the bike regain it's balance, if you can, as he did. I will put up a vid of that scenic ride out around Monument Valley shortly. ...sure wish we could get together for a ride some time.

[@CubanRider]

Very nice, looking forward to the upload.

[@tpartridge10]

The Super Duke R is super easy to wheelie just open the throttle quicker. Wouldn't recommend trying in 1st gear though

[@mototime4011]

Asere hermano caballero. Really good video:)

[@TheRCR26]

Caballo!!!!!! Lmao dude that was hilarious, missed your videos primo

[@CubanRider]

LOL. Primo it's a big bike, as much as I want to treat it as a sportbike, it's 500+ pounds I have to manage.

[@lordrider9370]

Nice ride

[@Jumacado]

No me canso de escuchar tu S1000xr, la mía con escape akrapovic pero colectores de serie zumba algo menos... que gozada Cuban R. Oye cuantas millas tiene la tuya? Algún problema destacable? yo creo y deseo que van a ser motos muy fiables con el adecuado mantenimiento.. nunca espero a 10.000 kms para el cambio de aceite y filtros, a los 6 o 7 mil le hago todo. Un saludo! ya echaba de menos escuchar a esa bestia roja!

[@CubanRider]

Saludos Juan. La mia ya tiene 28000 millas y corre mejor que nueva, este motor es un batazo.

[@PIETROMACMOTO]

MI QUERIDO CUBAN RIDER, ME CONVENCISTE Y COMPRE LOS HEADERS DE ARROW PARA MI S1000XR, 2 PREGUNTAS... TU MISMO SE LOS PUSISTE? , UNA VEZ PUESTOS, SE TIENE QUE MODIFICAR O CONFIGURAR LA COMPUTADORA DE LA MOTO ? GRACIAS... EXCELENTES VIDEOS BRO.

[@CubanRider]

Hola Pietro. Si, se los puse yo mismo, bastante fácil lo que asegúrate de proteger el radiador con cartón para que no se dañe o te corte las manos. Corrí la moto por miles de millas sin configurar la computadora y caminaba bien, supuestamente la computadora se adapta a los cambios, pero siempre estuve un poco preocupado, así que ya le instale el Rapid Bike que le ajusta la gasolina y funciona muy bien.

[@PIETROMACMOTO]

OK, SEGUIRE TU CONSEJO DE PONERSELOS YO, :) , EL RAPID BIKE DONDE LO PUEDO ADQUIRIR ? ES COMO EL BOOSTER PLUG ?

[@CubanRider]

No, el BoosterPlug es como una curita para darle mas gasolina, el Rapid Bike es una solución de tuneo que le da mas gasolina y mas power.

[@CubanRider]

No se en México lo consigas, yo lo compre en Orlando, Florida aqui: rapidbike.us/products/rb-evo-bmw-s1000xr lo mas probable es que le den shipping a México.

[@theonlyTIP64]

I'm a cruiser and it sucks to get behind some sport bikes, not the bike it's the rider. Never push any rider past their abilities.

[@dalejacobson6363]

That's a bad ass bike ! But not worth the risk for me . Awesome vid. As usual!

[@picrr529]

Another good vid, keep it up. Question for you, how do you like the tinted screen? Was wondering as I just got my new XR and I'm thinking about the same one but am wondering about looking through it at night (if too dark, etc.). Yours looks like medium tint.

[@CubanRider]

love the tinted screen. I've gone thru the dragon at night, with no option but to look through the windscreen due to the many bugs, yet I survived. So yes, it's doable, haha.

[@picrr529]

Thanks, finally got out today for my first ride on her, love the thing but I think the windscreen is likely in my future - lots of noisy buffeting around the helmet. Another question please, for street on the XR, do you prefer sport-style gear or adv? Considering adv for trips and such but the seating position leans to the sporty side (legs) and I'm wondering if adv type gear might not be cut right for it. Any opinions? Thanks again

[@CubanRider]

I normally use sport-oriented gear because I think offers a bit more protection. These days I use a lot my riding jeans and AGV Sport leather jacket.

[@NrbMoto]

I noticed that you are twisting the throttle a bit on upshifting, is that intentional or not? :) Finally I had a ride on saturday with my MT-10 after 5 months of winter, and tried this, but havent realized if its useful or not. Maybe I havent timed it well. After 5 months I have to get used to her again. I have quickshifter too. You are not the first I notice doing it, but Im asking it the first time :D

[@CubanRider]

It is intentional, I do it because on the BMW upshifts are smoother under load, they don't feel as smooth if I keep the throttle even. On other bikes it may be different; the MT-10 I rode didn't have a quick-shifter.

[@NrbMoto]

Thanks mate, I will try to time it well and see if its better or not on my bike ;)

[@auldreekiebiker8464]

To wheelie the bike, I assume ur in Dynamic mode with anti wheelie deactivated?

[@trykozmaksym]

2:25 what was that?

[@Beland_ii]

can u let the location plss

[@ebayjurgen]

Are there ever any speed cameras where you ride? 😁

[@AmoozingCows]

No speed cameras in texas I believe.

[@angelbaby669able]

I ain't scared

[@jusansalazar2172]

Buen video colega. Lo malo es que muy corto jaja

[@virginflyer]

Think the Tail of the Dragon is more fun 😊

[@TboneSTEAK111]

yeah, its also more packed with idiots and people that can't ride/drive. This is a much better experience as you have 10x the length of curves.

[@terrypereira3622]

Como se llama ese lugar donde rodaron? Q habían montañas??? Saludos

[@CubanRider]

Las calles cerca de Leakey, TX. Son montañitas, no montañas, pero algo es algo.

[@terrypereira3622]

Cuban Rider si si no es algo graaande pero la verdad se ve genial.. gracias..

[@mrnice2994]

The twisted sisters, lol! 😅

[@AgentZero1728]

You shouda tailgate that r1 lol

[@Yonex333]

Whats was that at 2:25?

[@CubanRider]

Rear tire losing traction and traction control catching it.

[@sandipdas5684]

I want to ride with you....but live in India, so can't. Here is no roat like that..

[@Chris-0113]

Why not go to the track? Yall doing 100 mph when everyone else is doing 40.
