Screw the 'meetups' and car shows...doesn't anyone get together for some twisties?

My subject is a little brash, but hopefully an eye catcher.

I used to love going out for an afternoon of twisties with friends on my motorcycle on wknds, but I don't ever see anyone post up about it here.

I can appreciate the local meetups to kick the tires, or the car shows to appreciate the show n shine, the drag strip or the highway roll-ons but that's not really what excites me about the EVO...the driving through the corners does! (staying in your lane at all times, same pace in the straights for everyone to catch up....no unneeded attention for sure. )

Is there any interest in a small group of us (<7 cars) getting together for an early morning run through the twisties to beat traffic?

There are tons of goods roads in the area I've learned about over the years through motorcycles, and I'd love to share them with a small group.

Thanks.

Either way, it's not a race, I'm sure u'd manage fine. Hopefully we'll get some more support and then I'll organize something.
