Maintenance, Tools and Techniques

Mike Sachs - Dekalb Technical College Instructor - “Get to know your bike and prevent problems on the road”.

Mark Scherrens - Blue Ridge Racing and ADV Rider - Anyone who spends much time riding knows that, no matter how well you prepare, eventually something will break. Blue Ridge Racing tool pouches, tool packs, tool kits and repair items are designed for just such times.

Angela Underwood - Motorcycle Safety Instructor - The Advanced Rider Course Sport Bike Techniques (ARC-ST) - riding strategies and overall skill development

The procedures for riding a sport bike do not vary greatly from the procedures for riding other types of motorcycles AND Angela will be here to explain it all. Although this course is based on sport bike riding techniques, it can improve the safety awareness of any rider who chooses motorcycling as a serious form of transportation.

JoAnna Murray - Atlanta Motorcycle Schools - Adventure Sport Riding for the Street Rider - One of the fastest growing forms of motorcycling today, adventure sport (also dual sport) riding features street-legal off-road motorcycles that can be operated on pavement, dirt roads, and trails.

Whether you plan to jump in with both feet or just want to improve your riding skills for occasional forays onto dirt and gravel roads, this seminar will give you a taste of what you need to take your riding to the next level.

Ride immediately following seminar lead by JoAnna Murray - you get to practice what you learned

All Rider Courses help riders improve their skills no matter what type of motorcycle they use.

Time Capsule
Since this is a reunion let's create a time capsule. Please bring an item that you would like to contribute to the capsule, something which represents you or your motorcycling experience to be placed in a time capsule. We will decide on a date for the capsule to be opened and store it someplace with the instructions as to when it can be cracked open. We will collect all items at the end of the ceremonies and the last thing we do before departing will be to bury the capsule in a designated spot.

As always, men are welcome to attend this exciting event and share in the experience of women and motorcycling in the twisty's.
