At the Heart of Hill Country resides an awesome hangout that is a must for motorcycle enthusiasts.  In the town of Leakey, Texas, is one of our favorite biker friendly places: Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop.

Ever get that craving for some Texas Hill Country? With the challenging hills and curves and incredible views, how could you resist?

Kerrville is a centrally located base camp which provides easy access to most of the Hill Country. Spring and fall provide the ideal conditions for riding. The summertime can be pleasant in the Hill Country especially riding early or late in the day. Plan on spending the hottest part of the day riding along the Guadalupe, Frio or Medina Rivers.

The Kerrville-Bandera Loop is approximately 170 miles and will take five hours or more to drive depending on sightseeing.

There are many people who feel it is a badge of honor to log a thousand miles in 24 hours on a motorcycle. This can be extremely dangerous.

To do 1000 miles in 24 hours, you have to ride at excessive speeds for long periods of time. At 70 mph consistently, it takes more than 14 hours! High-speed highway riding is always high-risk riding, especially at night. Riding at high speed cuts time and distance to react, even in daylight. At night, by the time something breaks the headlight beam, there is no time to avoid it. This is called “overriding the headlight”. When the object is a deer, a vehicle, or the side of a boxcar, the results are never in the rider’s favor.
