Well our "Twisty Riders Scoot Club" wanted a challenge so we went for another long ride. We met up for a quick breakfast and then hit the road. We started with the same route from our "Mark Twain" ride and then continued on down to Rockaway Beach Mo. This is an old tourist town set right on the river. Kind of dead now, killed off by the Branson boom. Had to take a pic in front of the "Free Frog Legs" sign. Had lunch at Fat Daddy's, the nearby barbecue joint, then headed on to Branson. We went 151.47 miles, average speed of 31.8 mph, 4:45 riding time, riding 2 - 50s, 1 - 70, and 2 - 150s. In the whole ride maybe 20 miles of straights, the rest - twists and hills. Making out scoots earn their keep!       BRANSON!  |

Looks like a great ride. It's cool to see a group of scooterists that are really riders getting together.

Thanks, it has been a lot of work getting it going but i am really proud of building a riding club that really logs some miles.
Just had a 69 year old Silverwing rider join up. I love our "everybody welcome" group.

I like the ones where you are obviously shooting while moving, LOL.

I like the ones where you are obviously shooting while moving, LOL. Ha that would be a trick! I actually just roll HD video and then pull stills from it after. |

Makes me miss the twisties in the Chippewa Falls area where I lived for a few years. There was a stretch between the old farm house I lived in , and the next town over that was all twisty curves. It was really annoying in a car Do you do the STO (scooting the ozarks) rally? www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=214958106109 |

Haven't been to STO before but plan to this year. Trying to figure out a route on back roads to ride to it. Would be a long day which would be cool.
