Just a little Tease about the Kerrville Roads

wildcat66 · 05-18-2009, 08:54 PM

The Rally Committee took a little trip to tie up the last minute details for the Rally and here are some teasers for Y'all
The videos are for Run Rod Run to see if you think the Twisted Sisters is something you feel comfortable driving, if you don't feel comfortable, I am sure we can find an empty seat for you to ride along

I feel confident that you could drive it, since LT took me on one of the roads you have driven on when I went out to Laughlin

I should get a Road Bike. I like Crotch Rockets but I get Evil Knevil on them.

Ok I vote we run this route at night and I'll bring up the rear with bandages!

woohoo · 05-19-2009, 06:49 AM

This was a ton of fun. I let Sugardaddy drive on this run and had white knuckles all the way!!!!

HarleyGuy · 05-19-2009, 09:09 AM

We'd call this the "Main road".
It even has center lines

wildcat66 · 05-19-2009, 10:13 AM

In Texas you have to look far and wide to find hill like these

Jan, I had white knuckles a few times and I was the driver

Here's a good reason to either get to Maggie Valley a day or so early, or to leave on Monday after the Rally.
It's a good idea to do your first trip to "The Dragon" on a weekday.
The "Weekend Warriors" and the heavier traffic can be a bit too much.

There are a lot of Canyon Roads in your area that are a blast. Mulhuland is even pretty fun. I had a Honda CBX with a Turbo 1979 Model 6 cyl. That was a scary fast Bike with very high Compression. Man what a RUSH.

Although this post was made in fun, we are serious when we suggest you watch out for deer. Those rascals can be around the next corner or bend of the road, or even run out as you are driving down the road. They can ruin your vacation with us, not to mention, cause you to panic and in doing so, leave the road you are driving on.

LTs SSR · 05-19-2009, 03:00 PM

Ohhhhh looks like a fun drive!!! Can't wait!

wildcat66 · 05-19-2009, 03:49 PM

Yep even saw a dear on the 4 lane street in town Sat. night, ran right in front of me

The Youtubes videos are from the bikes I found them for Jeff to look at, I don't have a video camera

it will be fun!

Great! thats what we have to many of here in Michigan, deer! Thats why I don't drive the R at night this time of year and also in the fall of the year.

HarleyGuy · 05-19-2009, 09:22 PM

During my travels I've encountered just about every critter that walks in North American.
Without a doubt, deer have to be the dumbest of the bunch.

I've came close to hitting them many times but so far I've been fortunate.
I will steer around them if I can do it safely and brake if I can't.
I'd prefer being alive to make an insurance claim as opposed to being a statistic.

As one of my frinds says, it's better just to aim for them. If you do, you'll never hit them.

Lookout for the Jackalopes!

What ya'll call deer, we call Suicidal Bambi's. It's in their genes to wait til the last minute and then jump-out right in front of you.

The roads look like fun especially since ours are flat and straight here. I can't wait!
