Twisty Butt Association Ride

What a RIDE!

Hokie did great, and rode the wheels off that bike! We recovered from a 45 delay, and a 100 mile navigation error (both dumb mistakes on my part), and completed it with 7 minutes to spare! Then got it a little 230-mile ride Sunday with our new FJR buddies to cap it all off.

If you've never ridden the Ozarks in the N Arkansas hill country, it's beautiful territory with many, many outstanding roads - highly recommended. Now if we can just keep these performance awards off our driving records....

Well done!!

I can't wait to get down there in May...I'm sure I'll eat another rear tire off my bike....my 109-R goes through rear tires anyway...but "fun" riding in the Ozarks speeds the process up A LOT.

Problem with organized events like this is everyone ioncluding the troopers knew it was happening, the time, the route, everything. The Ozarks are great as long as you don't attract attention. This thing was on like 5 forums, one guy even posted the route on his facebook page. The Troopers knew to trap it and wrote about 25 tickets...
