FM 674

Back to the Alamo, Mike: John Wayne was the best we had to play Crockett, so long before Billy Bob Thornton came on the scene (now THAT's the real Davy)...

By the way, DoubleZ, that's a gorgeous LS.
Kinda miss mine sometimes.

Thank´s Burt. She benefits by the lighting.  I try to ride for work and play. Weather permitting.

I just HAD to go on a quick errand to one of north Coahuila´s oldest city: Muzquiz. All work, no play!
A great place for GS riders also, as you can go to Big Bend National Park area on the Mexico Side.

Wonderful ride with friends again to Leakey Tx

Did you guys ride the Three Sisters ?

I'm heading back that way in the spring. Leakey -pronounced as Lay-key by the locals- is a fine base of ops for an excellent day of Texas Hill Country riding.

Thanks for the cool snaps. And don't be such a stranger.

Hi Monte: We did ride just one of them.  
337 from Camp wood to Medina.
Good food.
Lots of bikes.
Great riding.
Although a stalled ranch truck on one of the blind curves going up into the hills almost scared the Mexican out of me.
This is one of the best signs on 337.

Here's a nice description of the Twisted Sisters

Does "The Three Sisters" have some connection with Native American History (corn, squash and beans maybe)?  I doubt it has a connection with Anton Chekhov's play of the same name?

[montmil]

Their full name is The Three Twisted Sisters and they are Texas Ranch Roads 335, 336 and 337. Sisters, dig?

Yep. a fella can get hurt on these roads if you fail to pay attention. Some of the switchback turns seem to go on forever.
The puny eleven miles of road know as the Dragon's Tail? We got triple dragons from nose to tip o' the tail and they run over one-hundred miles. It's Texas, fellas...

If you click on the link from DoubleZero, scroll down to the photos. The black R65 sitting on the low water crossing of the Guadalupe River? Mine.

"337" makes me think of major alterations and repair... how apropos.

You can bet I'll be putting that one on the list.  

I was surprised to see the area high temperatures in the low 60's for the week.  Unusually cooler for that area, no?

Love that bike... I assume it's your '81.   I always wanted a black motorcycle, it's the one thing about mine that takes from me loving it 100%

Beautiful Bike Monte. Bmw Black with classic pinstripes are always elegant.
This whole thread started with FM 674 which I consider is the evil cousin of the three Twisted Sisters. It parallels 335 and 336 but farther west. Ride with others as it is LONELY LONELY road.
Monte is correct. Each of these roads are a good 40- 60 miles.

[EGRG]

Those long switchbacks made me once lock on visually on a small patch of gravel. Almost ended outside into the rocks. One must keep looking farther along the curve.

I think you'd need google earth to follow the aerial tour of the route I created (last link).  I lack the patience to watch the entire route on my laptop. Maybe before I actually do the trip I'd take notes and plan it out like a professional would, then again, probably not.

You may need to register for this one.  Maybe you won't with the others.  Then again, maybe all of them.

Form 337 is most apropos!

The walls inside the cafe and patio of the popular Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop in Leakey are decorated with numerous bit of destroyed fairings and such. Sweepings from the road, they are. There's also the Bent Rim Grille in the area.

Practice counter-steering and trail braking... I'm just saying.
