Twisty Butt Association Ride
 

So I'm thinking of joining a riding buddy for the second annual Twisty Butt ride also known as the Arkansas All Day 500.

Its 500 miles of non-stop twisty Ozark mountain roads in 12 hours or less. I'm super excited and also kinda nervous about being able to finish in time. I have riden 550 miles in a day before but usually that involves super slabbin it there are back. My ass and thighs are sore just thinking about it.

I'm the first girl to ever register (not that this is that big of a ride) and almost everyone is usually on an FJR (the FJR Group started the ride). I'll be riding my GSXr. Could be interesting. :tremble:

its doable. On a sport bike the twisties seem easier than straight slabbin it because youre moving around on the bike some and not just sitting droning straight ahead.

I know it's do-able. My only concern is that I usually start the day pretty fast then slow down after I eat or start to get tired (as most do). The guy I'm riding with is crazy fast. I just worry about holding him up...but I can bring a GPS if he needs to take off. There are picture check points along the way.

sounds fun and I know you will do great, can't wait for you to report back afterwards.

I just can't wait to see what kind of damage these roads will do to my new set of tires. Lol! I have heard great things about the Ozarks

what rubber are ya sportin

should be fun!

BT021's. Sport tourers. I was flat spotting the BT014s and now I'm doing the opposite to the BT021s. I just took my front off and I wore the sides down to the base rubber and still had plenty in the middle. I think I trail brake too much and wear my sides out.

That's what I did to get to the Rally. Yeah, my knees were sore when I got there. Much better than slabbing it back up though.

You're going to love it :D Though admittedly, I don't know how the roads are around your neck of the woods... but I've got family in southern Missouri, and have ridden NW Arkansas
