Quote: Im kinda curious about how many Savage riders we have here in MO. We seem kinda savage poor, although i see a LOT of s40's(ls650's as well) for sale on craigslist recently. Yet to see another out rideing though.
There's a couple around the Franklin County Area I see on a regular basis. On this site I've talked to Dr Harveys, Bravo12, Webstermark and Marine5317. I'm sure I missed someone else along the way. We're kind of scattered all over the place!
As far as the winery circuit, its the twisties on the river road and the tourist traps that attract them. The further away from St. Louis you get, the fewer attitude squid you run into. I can run 94 on a weekday and not see two bikes from Francis Howell to Dutzow. Weekends are another story!
Just an example, but you can run a big square from Hwy 94 west to Hwy 19 south to Hwy 8 east to Hwy 47 north and find lots of nice roads without a ton of "tourist traffic" to get in your way. Lots of good places to eat and stop, just a different type of travelers down that way. Meremac State park area has a lot of nice roads! (Gotta watch the boat trailers and rafters at the end of the day though, still too many heavy drinkers on the rivers down south!)
