damn. that's this weekend. crap. wonder if i can do 2 tires and a clutch cable on top of 60 hours at work this coming week, getting my shelby running, meeting with my lawyers a bunch of times...and have enough energy to ride right from work friday night (again, just like last year) to get there? hm.... | ||
| Ratbuell |

"Here is my proposed route." Dang, so much for my uber-secret sneak attack plan!  I will be setting sail Wed am, and hope to get at least 90% of the first leg done and find a hotel somewhere round' there for the night.  Will be taking 16 all the way up also, mostly on thursday, and find a hotel again, and head into camp Fri am. Second part:  Did a good part of 16 a couple years ago, and wow, what a great ride!!!! Can't wait for Wednesday to get here! | ||

Vern, I'll look to hear from you Monday, then, on how the Jeep project went. I can leave at o-dark-hundred on Fri AM as well. I assume you are doing to to take 16 or similar good road, instead of the slab? Poppin' - thanks for the offer, but I am mostly wanting to link up for the main part of the journey, just because I have been off the bike for a while. Hope to see you there. My left side bag-to-bike latch will not lock properly after the crash, and the replacement has not show up yet. Looks like I'll be rigging up a "permanent" bag installation set up for the trip! Gonna go ahead and bravely add my name to roll call (finally), even if I cannot link up with Etennuly. I hate to think negative thoughts about your Jeep, Vern! | ||
| Hillis3 |
Tank - That looks like a great ride. Wish I had the time off to meet up with you for that. | ||
| Etennuly |
Well I be damned! Now I know where the evil negative vibes were coming from!  Jim, how about we meet near Bristol some place for breakfast like at 6:30 or so Friday am? | ||
| Tank_bueller |
Phillip, I'm hoping for another EPIC adventure! When are you coming back? Got a planned route? | ||
| Arcticktm |
Vern, Sounds good. I'll verify I can get there at that time with a 5 ish departure. Not too keen on any earlier, but I think that will work! I'm all about positive energy from here on out! The only thing besides my bag latch that is not fixed from the crash is my left side grip heater, and I am thinking I won't miss it much with the weather we've had! Do you have a route in my mind? I have not made one yet (other than 16 of course), since I was not 100% sold on going before. You can always PM me. It's easier for me to respond on my phone that way anyways. | ||

for those of you taking 16 i have a warning for you... there's a little town down south near beckly called "gauley bridge". me and some friends, bout ten of us,found out the hard way it's one of the biggest speed traps in west virginia.go ahead, google it. we weren't speeding and were even behind a mini van through town when a a-hole cop pulled us all over. said we were speeding etc. also said he'd love to write us all a ticket but the law only let him get the front three of us. what can you do? apparently from checking out the net there are blogs about these loser cops from other towns nearby that get rejected and end up writing tickets all day for their little town. AVOID THAT TOWN!!! yeah, i'm still a little bitter! lol consider your selves warned...... | ||

Frank, I have to come back Sunday morning. I'll be riding 50 to 250 through Charlottesville. This is the same way I will be coming over there. | ||
| Tank_bueller |
I'll be headed out Sunday morning as well, after breakfast, of course! We'll see if we can make a plan between riding and stuffing ourselves miserable!  | ||
| Tank_bueller |
Never fails... Funny, it seems I have a talent for finding accommodations with a  | ||

Sounds like a plan to me. And yes, nothing till after breakfast. | ||

+1 on Gauley Bridge....made a donation meself | ||
| Poppinsexz |
Gauley bridge, Ceder Grove, Smithers and all the rest of those little towns. They will get you for 1 mile over PERIOD. However right above them is Gauley mtn and Hawks Nest state park. the ride up or down the mtn to the park is awsomeness, not as long as Deals gap but every bit as good and maybe better. | ||

The latest WVBR news... Anyone that has been to the WVBR before knows my Father is a church going man. Well... this past Sunday while at church.. without saying a word to Judy (my step/mother/his wife/do anything for you salt of the earth)... My father stands up and invites the congregation to come on up to the house to have dinner with us and look at the bikes.... I bet Judy about fell of the pew! I wish I could have been there to see her face!... any who... I just hope lightning doesn't strike me..... | ||

I guess I'll have to be on my xtra bestest behavior then, oh and I'll bring my manners with me too. BTW is it Friday yet | ||
| Longshot |
Yeesh, those speed traps sound awful! Anybody have info on Highway 50 coming from MD/VA? I'll only be on 16 between 50 and the campsite, but I'd hate to get nabbed for 1mph over on a US highway! | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
50 is a great road until you get to Clarksburg and then it turns into 4 lane. I did have a Lynx run out in front of me on 50. That was cool. | ||
| Poppinsexz |
Its really only a problem down on us60 near gauley bridge | ||
| Nukeblue |
i've been all over the state and only had trouble in gauley bridge. then i got home and googled "w.v. speed traps" its the top of the list lol | ||
| Whatever |
Is there an alternate through Gauley Bridge, or maybe just catch 16 further north ? I hate small town cops who have tiny dicks with a passion.  | ||
| Nukeblue |
just north right past that town you're good. awesome road! | ||
| Poppinsexz |
Its just a few miles to get through those bad spots | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
packing SUCKS! | ||

Hey Mark this is Todd & Angie from Fairmont, what time do you think you will be at your mom & dads Friday evening. We made the rally year b/4 last had a great time, didn't get to make it last year due to cancer found in my leg made reservations for this year and don't think we can stay the weekend because I would not be able to do the ride with everybody (cancer may have returned). But we would like to ride down Friday evening to see every1 for the last Buell Rally, including your mom & dad because they are the greatest. Thank You | ||
