Glad to see another successful rally. Don't know how they keep getting better. Rain gods frowned a little this year. Make note to sacrifice virgin next year. Tuff in WVa. Two down, neither were Gary. Thoughts and prayers for speedy and full recovery for both. I see one is in Morgantown. Please keep us updated. I only live about 10 miles north if anything is needed for a Buell brother. Passed a orange Uly and another bike headed south on Rt 52 near Pilot Mt. at about 3;30 Sunday. Maybe Carlos & Webe? Well that is what I thought of anyway. Wish I could have been in attendance this year and looking forward to next year. Jon | ||

Made it home at around midnight to Ocean City,Md. after dropping Rob in York,Pa. and Tony in Columbia,Md.. 1100mi. on the truck and trailer and about 300mi. on the bike. Well worth every mile. Had a blast. Thanks to Mark and his family. And thanks to everyone for being who they are and making this event what it is. Ken, awesome photos. Really enjoyed watching everyone passing me on their bikes on the way home. SteveH | ||

I had a great time at WVBR IV despite missing the group ride. A big thanks to Mark and the Gainers for putting on another fantastic event! Thanks to Chris for picking up some fresh spark plugs from S&P in Parkersburg and for giving me a hand trying to figure out the problem. Thanks to Travis for lending me some tools and to Scott (Mark's brother in law) for picking me up from the hotel and entertaining me with some great stories. Thanks to Matt for being motivated enough to tear into the fuel delivery system and figuring out I do indeed have flow all the way to the heads. Thanks to Gary for helping/supervising, providing comic relief and for taking that blast of fuel to the face. And finally, a Mega big thanks to Steve for giving me and my wounded Buell a ride home. I know it was a long haul for you and I do greatly appreciate it. Posted some photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/planethiker/sets/7215 7624793779238/ | ||

Glad to hear you made it home Tony. You have my number if you need some help. Made it to Asheville nc tonight found a ton of great roads but the blue ridge parkway was freezing tonight. | ||

We're home (and back to work  ) Made it in around 6pm yesterday, had some hit and miss rain for the last couple hours but other than that we had a great trip. Thanks to Mark (and the whole Gainer family) and everyone else who made this WVBR the best yet. I have a bunch of pics but I have to get them on to photobucket. Can't wait until next year. Tim | ||

A big thanks to all that have contacted me with interest to help Mike gather up his stuff and get it to Morgantown. I think a plan is forming!!!! Update : They are going to get him up and walking around a little tomorrow. If all starts looking good they will release him this coming Monday. Also like to thank Fordrox(Chris Rogers). Are small group of three riders passed Chris on the way to the rally , Chris tagged on and rode in with us . We all camped together and rode together all weekend ,including when Mike went down. He even sat with us at the hospital. He also rode home with us ,I think just to keep an eye on us . Since are minds were on Mike more than riding! I'm sure we'll all ride together soon.

Made it back to WNC about 6pm Sunday, clocking well over 1,000 miles on the Uly for the weekend. Had a good ride up and back with M2NC and Webe. Great ride on Sat. Who would think Ohio was actually FUN?!?! Thanks to Mark and the entire family for stepping up once again. Not sure how you can keep topping yourselves each year, but it sure makes it worth the long trip. It says something when I am willing to ride 1,000+ miles to this event when I already live in an awesome riding area. I think my gear is finally dry as of last night, so I am ready for next time! | ||

hey guys, just finished up a visit with Mike at the hospital. He's looking pretty good. He was sitting up and chatting with Leo and I. Says the broken ribs are the worst when he coughs. Anyhow, just wanted to pass that on. He and Sarah are hoping that he gets out of the hospital Friday. | ||
| Tarmac_slayer |
so glad to hear Mike is doing good.i hate to hear about anyone going down.been there/done that myself.we all take that chance every time we saddle up,unfortunately,the odds aren't in our favor.i certainly wish Mike a speedy recovery and hope he is back on his feet soon. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Thanks for the update! If you can, pass along my contact info to them and I will try to work out getting his gear back to him.... Labor Day weekend could be a good weekend for a ride | ||
| Emtff376 |
Mark - will do on the contact info. Leo has to work Labor Day weekend. Yall should truck your butts over to Canaan and experience some of my end of Route 50. I am willing to open up my home to anyone that wants sleep space while they are here. Beds, futon and couch on first come first serve basis. Plenty floor space and level yard for camping. Like I told Jon, just give me 15 minutes warning. WVBR 4.1 anyone? | ||
| Tarmac_slayer |
i am always up for a sport ride,just wish you guys were'nt 4 1/2-5 hours away ! i went out yesterday for my first ride since i have been back.all the roads suck around here now! we have some ok roads,but you have to go west of me to get into any challenging roads in south central Pa. | ||
| Nittanyxt |
Tarma_slayer,Go north of Harrisburg to get to good stuff,or give me a heads up and I can show you some good stuff up here. | ||

It's ALIVE ! Got the bike running for the first time since the Friday night BBQ at the Gainer's. Bad fuel from the Marathon station in Ellenboro was the cause  . I have no idea why the 2 rice burners I was riding with got away scott-free from the 93 octane fill up, but the Buell just wouldn't burn the stuff. Once again, thanks to Chris, Matt, Gary, Mark and Rob for helping me narrow down the problem. And Thanks to Steve for getting me home. Some good did come out of it... I made some new friends, I got an education on the XB fuel injection system, I now know how to to pull engine codes with just a screw driver, I found out I have after market Siemens/Deka fuel injectors rather than Ford injectors AND it DOES matter which injector you use for the front cylinder and back cylinder. It was running rich and spitting fire out of the throttle body when I had them backwards. Guess I'm riding tomorrow | ||

SWEET That is good new! so tell me was it the red one in front or white? | ||
| Poppinsexz |
Congrats!!! Glad it turned out to be something simple. | ||
| Thunderstruck |
Red one goes in the front. At least for the Siemens/Deka injectors. I'm not sure if the factory injectors are colored? Matt was working so fast switching the injectors and the connectors back and forth trying the diagnose it... it was life a shell game. We all got confused. I made a hand written note in my service manual. | ||
| Ocbueller |
Tony, Glad it was simple like we had hoped. Looking forward to meeting up at Robs' in October. SteveH | ||
| Tarmac_slayer |
Jon, i just may take you up on a ride.Harrisburg is not too far.have to get together and make a plan before it gets too cold ,,,,,,,,,,,,probably take me a little over an hour to get up to your neck of the woods.let me know if you want to put something together. | ||
| Nittanyxt |
Tarmac,I'll see what I can put together. There's still at least 3 months riding time left! |
