Twisty Sisters Riding Club USA

|
Being a part of the Twisty Sisters is a wonderful experience. There
is a closeness between the group members that extends beyond just
being “riding buddies”. Being together for the annual
Rally truly seals these bonds. If you have not attended a Rally,
make it a must for next year!
Hope you enjoy some of the photographs and articles from recent
Twisty Sisters Rally!

First on the Scene
Click photo for more info |
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

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

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!

The 4th annual Twisty Sisters Riding Club Rally was a huge success!
The weather could not have been better—cool, sunny, perfect!
Many ladies who attended the first three rallies returned—and
there were many new faces who became instant friends. The closeness
of this rally is something that you must experience to believe.
Mark your calendar now for 2005!
Many thanks to everyone who made this such a successful weekend.
Special thanks to Jeff (hope that is right!), for helping to lay
my bike down gently. And to all the ladies who picked it up so well!
Thanks to all for the great presentations.
And most of all, THANK YOU BRITT AND GT—you are the best!
