3 Sisters Training Video

Smoked U · June 12, 2012, 01:11:38 PM

Allen R. has seen fit to produce the following video for MOOTMaG attendees to study so they can prepare for our group ride on Saturday. Please study the video carefully and take notes.

Please pay attention to speed requirements and passing techniques since Allen will be leading by example.

Greg C. has also had the Queen out clearing away fallen rocks and dirt slides on the road surfaces as well as advising local residents not to clog the road with trucks/tractors with hay wagons, women drivers and old fartknockers in 30 year old Chevrolet 4 doors.

Greg has put out flyers to advise local wildlife to avoid the Sisters or suffer becoming road pizza under our wheels.

Thanks for the post. I liked that there was no BS music. Just an V-max lullaby.
Maybe one of these days I'll get down there and ride that.

A few observations and questions:

1) Sign in Leakey headed out to this road shows 10 MC deaths in the past five? years. I am beginning to understand why.
2) How does he mount his camera to get such smooth video? Mine vibrates all over the place, in spite of my best efforts.
3) This guy might even be able to keep up with Curtis or Jimmy.
4) I think I will pass. Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it.

I love to ride these roads, and do several times a year, but at a little slower pace...

Man that will get you heart racing! That's not Harley speed, its Hardley speed.

I was talking to a guy at a gas station in Rocksprings in March and he talked me into following him on his VMax down 335 then 337 all the way to Medina. Ran the crap out of my bike and he had to slow down and wait for me a few times. Although I like hauling butt thru there, I will take my time next time and take in the scenery. Only Magna advice I have for those roads..... keep the revs up.

In my humble opinion, the only advise one needs to ride the 3's or any other route is simple, RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE! Simply put ride what your comfortable riding, dont push to keep up with anyone else.. Unless there is a Super Hot trophy girl waiting to give you a big smooch, trophy, fat check, and a checkered flad, then there is no reason to race......

If I hadn't seen the beginning, I would have thought it was Troy...

Yes, you and Rick both. I was there.

Pffftttt we've lead groups thru there faster and I know I have gone faster thru there. He is FAST on the straights that is a BEAST of a bike.

I went back and watch a 4 minute clip I'd taken on the Talimena run.

After watching the Vmax video, mine looked sllooooowwww.

I agree, Allen.

I'd like to see him and Bob do a five mile drag race just to see who the king is.
