Join us for the 8th Annual Twisty Sisters Riding Club Rally—August
15-17, 2008
The event this year is going to be a reunion rather than a rally.
No rally fees, no seminars—just fun, fellowship, and riding
on some wonderful roads! GT will be roasting a pig so we will have
a Lu’au Saturday night. Please fill out the sign-up
form to give us an estimate of the number to expect. If you want
a room, make your reservations early. Pay for your camping/rooms
and food the weekend of the event. Simple! See you in August…

Welcome to the Twisty Sisters’
website—a haven for all women who ride, and especially
those who love riding in the twisties! The Twisty Sisters Riding
Club USA was organized by Britt Turner, owner of Two
Wheels Only Motorcycle Resort (TWO) to provide more opportunities
for women to enjoy the sport of motorcycling.
All annual Twisty Sisters Rally have been a huge success! The Rally
is held at Two
Wheels Only in beautiful Suches,
GA on Highway 60—just south of Wolf Pen Gap Road (Highway
180). The rally is always the 3rd weekend in August. Mark your calendar
now!
Ladies came from all around the U.S.A. to visit for the day or
to camp for the weekend. Check out the TWO
site for complete information and pricing on rooms and camping.
Did I mention that both Britt and GT are gourmet chefs? The meals
at TWO are wonderful!

Scott Masters, the head of the EMS
service at Northeast Georgia Health System, and David Westfall,
the District Public Health Director for the 13 county NE Georgia
region - including Union County, will be giving their “First
on the Scene” seminar again at the Twisty Sisters Rally
at TWO. They concentrated on the simple things that motorcyclists
can do to provide First Aid care to an injured motorcyclist
until professional help arrives. In addition, they discussed
some of the health related issues encountered by motorcyclists
in general. Click for more information.
Dropped Bike Demo Click photo for more info
Carol Youorski, a.k.a. Skert, has
traveled all over the USA showing both men and women that even
a very small woman can pick up a very large motorcycle! But
Carol doesn’t just pick up motorcycles—she rides!
In fact, she started her first Iron Butt Rally on her 50th birthday.
For more on Carol, check out her website Pink
Ribbon Rides.

JoAnna Murray of Atlanta
Motorcycle Schools gave a safety seminar entitled “Gorillas
in the Midst”. The talk centered around the fact that
often we miss an obvious danger because we either are not
trained to look for that danger or we are focused on something
else. This explains not only why cars may fail to see a motorcycle,
but also why a motorcyclist may not recognize a potential
danger in front of them. The solution is to get as much training
as possible, read books and articles on riding strategies,
and continually evaluate (and move to) the best lane position
to see and be seen.
Above all, “Ride Smart!”

Charles W. Watwood, Jr., Motorcycle
Accident Injury Attorney, of Law
Bike presented some very interesting legal tips and advice.
One of the biggest problems that he sees in motorcycle accident
cases is lack of insurance or insufficient coverage amounts.
Even if the other person is at fault, if there is no money to
collect from insurance or personal assets, the motorcyclist
is left with bills but not money to pay them. Check your insurance
policy to see if you have uninsured and underinsured motorist
coverage. Raising your deductible will often fund the increase
in premiums.
She-Rides Active Wear Click photo to visit She Rides
Judy Mecham owns She-Rides Active
wear—one of the very few women’s only motorcycle apparel
shops. She was at the Rally discussing riding gear that is designed
specifically for women, what’s new in women’s gear,
and the benefits of good, protective gear. When Judy is not
giving seminars or setup at the race track during an AMA event,
you can find her working hard at She-Rides.
Please visit Judy and She-Rides—located at Toosy’s
Motorcycle Way Station.
Rikki—Iraqi Freedom Flag Presented to Britt and GT
Last year, Rikki was unable to attend the Rally—she
was serving in Iraq. Currently, Rikki is on a rotating schedule
that has her home for two months and then shipped out for
two months. Fortunately, she was in the US during the Twisty
Sisters Rally. We were so glad to see her this year!
In a very special moment, Rikki and Craig presented Britt
and GT with a flag that Rikki flew in TWO’s honor on
the day that Iraq was granted their freedom.
Rikki, thanks for all that you—and all of our service
men and women—do to defend and provide freedom!
