New to this part of the forum. Just wondering, who out there is from Austin or its outskirts? Is there a Hill Country group?
I'm in the San Antonio area. There are several rides a year that start at the OST in Bandera.

And you just missed one, last Sunday a bunch of us gathered at the OST for lie telling and tire kicking. Well, ok, there was just Barry and I. And I rode my Beemer. But we considered it an FJR gathering.I'm in the San Antonio area. There are several rides a year that start at the OST in Bandera.

Avery Ranch here, (620 and Parmer area).New to this part of the forum. Just wondering, who out there is from Austin or its outskirts? Is there a Hill Country group?
I hang out with a bunch of VTX riders, and they have moved from Antonio's to Bikini's on Thursday nights, (well, when it's not raining). I guess they were tired of slow service at Antonio's. I haven't been to Bikini's yet, but had no problem with Antonio's. I'm driving a black cherry '07, so give me a shout, if you see me out....I've got an O7 and I ride with two other guys on 06's. We head out 1431 and ride the Hill Country a couple times a month. Try going to Antonio's Mexican resturant on Thursday nights "Bike Night" normally there are 3 to 4 FJR's there.
The San Antonio/Bandera/Castroville group has been pretty quiet lately. Sander sold his '03, don't know where Barry went off to. I've had a busy summer, haven't been to see the sisters this summer. But last Sunday, 8/5, I spotted three FJRs, a Beemer of some sort and a C'rocket of unknown make/model, headed west on PR 37 past my house. They musta found the Harley hangout for a beverage or a burger cause they were gone longer than most who go past (to find that the road goes nowhere fast, lots of traffic, deer and driveways.)Hey John, I live in Cedar Park (Ranch at Cypress Creek) and ride the Hill country every week end I can. I have 07 FJR (second one) and I ride with another FJR and group of mixed bikes. Not sure if there is a "group" that rides but I put out emails to the guys I know occasionlly to put rides together. Someone has to do it. My email is [email protected]
You mean the 100 mile loop? Sorry, it's been called the 100 mile loop forever and I can't figure out where this "The Twisted Sisters" name came from when referring to the 33x roads.haven't been to see the sisters this summer.
Well, if you visit the big bike hangout, just outside of Leakey, (moved from downtown this year), you'll see a lot of T-shirts in the gift shop that mention the sisters...You mean the 100 mile loop?

Well, it does have a bit more panache' than "100 mile loop"... <_<Yea, I know. They moved in and gave the route thier own name, along with some promotion from Ride Texas magazine, and now everyone that doesn't know any better (any Johnny come lately) is following suit. For those of us that have been riding those roads for years it's..... blasphemy!![]()
Twisted Sisters my ass.
