Eastern Region Rally
This is a twofold request.
First- Headcount for the rally. So far I have: Kawgirl Unwind2 + hubby Todd davidJones1 Towering Geoffrey dui546 callman + wife These are the ones I can recall off the top of my head. Please post if you are coming to the rally so we have a headcount and I will know if I need to call the hotel for more rooms. Secondly, what kind of rides are you interested in? Scenic, historic, tour, all day, half day, etc. Here is an example of the area riding. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/route.../WV/WV_2.shtml Another is a ride to the Cass RR area and take a ride on the train then cruise back to the hotel. http://www.cassrailroad.com/ Login or Register to Remove Ads |

The Cass RR sounds like a great idea. We know people who have done that tour and spoke very highly of it. It would be a good time.
Scenic, historic, tour....they all sound great. Keep in mind, some of us are going to have nice long ride in getting there. BUT...its all good. Simply put, I am totally looking forward to the rally get-a-way (or run-a-way) weekend. My vacation is already in and approved. |

Kawgirl...I am sorry I have not gotten back with you yet....I will do some more research tommorrow and let you know what I find out too.
I like the idea 1/2 to 3/4 day rides.

I guess some states are more stringent than others. The nerve of them!

My wife is attending with me and we will be riding in from the Virginia Beach area. We will both be on my Nomad so that passenger seat will be required...right Todd? Just kiddin...thanks for the look at the law in WV. I thought they were pretty much parallel to ours in Virginia.
Our primary route looks like 64 West to North 81 to 33 West. Mapquest has it listed as taking 5 hours and 45 min and a total distance of approx 340 miles. I figure we will make the journey in 8 hours taking some breaks and having lunch. It is pretty much a straight north-west route. I'd be happy to meet up with anyone along the way. There is definitely something to be said about safety in numbers. I am working on motivating a couple of Nomad riders from this area. |

My wife plans to come to Dui.....so I guess I had better keep my passenger seat on too LOL. I thought the only one that really could possibly matter would be the headphone thing. That was from a West Virginia Riders site.
Mapquest has it interstate from here too at about 5.5 hrs....BUT...I am thinking that I am taking the smaller roads up...which it puts at about 6.5 hrs.

Myself and the wife ( baby blues mother ) would like to come but we don't know how our butts will hold up on the new nad with stock seats. We have not had a chance to go more then 60 miles with it. Its about a 350 mile trip for us.

Wish we could make it, but I'm riding out to Austin, Tx, to the ROT Rally June 12-15, so. I'm already taking a week off.
Sorry; would love to meet y'all. Have fun! |
