Well the Twisty Riders decided to do our most frightening ride yet. The local Toys for Tots motorcycle parade. This is quit a big deal in our town. Last year in sleet they had 900 bikers. Not sure about the numbers today but it was sunny and over 30 so i'm sure we were way over last years number. 6 of us joined up for a quick lunch and then headed into the Harley/sportbike/touringbike mosh pit.. I have to say it was a little intimidating surounded by all those "grown up bikes"! As far as i could tell we were the only soots on the road. I didn't notice any obvious dirty looks and we all made it home alive so it was a good day. BTW i gave 2 scooters of course.

Always nice to make your club into something positive. I wouldn't expect any hard feelings between folks at an event like this. Wouldn't worry either, you guys are true riders. :thumb:

Thanks for representing scootering in such a positive light, Tim. Scooters are coming back.... gasoline is going up and folks are hurting for cash.

There are a lot of scooterists around here and unfortunately most of them are not riding fans just necessity riders. The community assumes Scooter = DWI. We have to do all we can to correct that idea.
I really was tempted to just take the gifts to the drop off and bypass the ride but i'm glad we did it.
