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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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.

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.

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!!!

The Three Sisters are GREAT motorcycle roads BUT pay attention to your speed those crosses along the road are not decorations. Welcome home to Texas. When strapping down the front of your bikes put the straps around the lower slider so you hold the lower sliders and are not compressing the front fork as that leads to broken fork seals.

You commented on all the " white" trucks. Every vehicle in NE Ohio is white with road salt-temp. Mid 20's 🥶🥶🌬❄ Texas looks Real good about now. 👍👍🙋‍♂️

I like your appeal to Heaven patch on your vest.... Speaking of White Vehicles, there are always more than any other color because it is what most companies use. It is also the cheapest color for the most part.

Sure actually that's easy. It's just an Micro SD card in the Senas. I'll just bring in the audio or overlay the other footage over it.

We had that camper 19 years ago. Traded up to a toy hauler and got a Harley. Good times. How does Rich like the BMW compared to the Harley? Love your videos.

Thanks Randy. I do like the BMW for the roads we ride to get out of camp. The HD is a different ride but more comfortable for the long hauls.

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.

I saw your safety strap for your camera. Can you show in details of how you did that? My RAM holder broke off after some vibration, pure luck I removed my camera just before that. Now, I am afraid to mount camera, fear of losing it.

So that strap is secured with a small strap through the GoPro cage and some paracord with a carabiner to the GOS mount. Hope that helps.

Question., Did H.D. strip you of your medals? OOOPS. I guess not because I see you still have one on the left side of your CUT. Leaking oil from one of your shocks. Can you find parts, & can you do the maintenance yourself out on the road?

I haul my KTM using a front fork dive bar that goes under the front fender, but this GS should NOT have blown a seal as they can handle jumps of 4' high, take it in ASAP if it is still under warranty, my BMW 1250 GSA is solid as a rock and am shocked to see this on your bike.

Now that you have Base Camp wouldn't you have a better ride if you were to shed some of the luggage bags on the bikes? Now that you're doing day trips you probably could get by with a 1/4 of what you have.
