Hey Jim, when you are headed west on 50. You will want to get off at the Route 16/Ellenboro exit and head south on 16. Once you get in the HUGE burg of Harrisville you keep going straight. Don't turn left on 16. Don't turn left on 31 keep going straight. That turns into West Main St. AKA 5. This will take you to the Cokely Campground that will be on your right. You will go past it and have to turn around.... everyone does. Look for the Buell and EBR signs on the hill! Be there before well before 6 pm. That is the time the grub is served. We have a little ride at 5:45 ish then EAT! | ||

Still on the fence...still out of riding-shape... how much would folks hate me if I showed up in a Dodge, with a Uly (or some Buell) in the bed? ....I really H-A-T-E 'towing' a bike to an event...but I'm OLD, dammit!! | ||
| Thumper74 |
I'm pretty fat and I'll be riding 250 miles to get there, but no shame in towing if you're bring other stuff that we can play with too! | ||
| Ratbuell |
...and Jim - if your route is still in the air...head through Hagerstown MD. I'm 20 minutes away. Safe haven, garage, tools....beer.... | ||

From Hagerstown, it's what - 200 miles? Come on, Joe you can ride that. If I can reschedule my CT Scan, I'm really wanting to make it. The rebellious streak in me is saying, "Screw the doctors, just go and enjoy yourself". The responsible side is saying the opposite. I've never been to the WV Rally and I've been wanting to go for a few years now. It's a tough call. This video really is starting to influence me. Especially the one old guy who has cancer. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ15mbuE_pw (Message edited by Crusty on August 08, 2014) | ||

I have put mine one a trailer for the last few years. Coolers, Pop up..... plus more... and its nice to have a recovery vehicle just in case. Let not forget I drag the trailer with the Jeep.... got to hit a hole or two with it. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
It's a tough call. There is now doubt about it! You have to do what's right for you and your health. I will tell you, Judy would love to hug your neck and tell you thank you for all the cards you sent when she was ill. | ||
| Damnut |
Crusty, my invite is an open one. That is unless you would rather drive down in a vehicle and trailer the bikes? Your call, I can do that too. But as Wolfie said, your health is the most important thing. | ||

Jim, Mark; Thanks for the support. It really is appreciated.I'm going to do the Right Thing. I will get the Cat Scan. If I can't get it rescheduled, then I won't be at the rally. If I can, I'll show up. This summer has been full of aborted rides, and it's getting pretty frustrating. I had to miss the Stamford, CT Dinosaur run, I couldn't go to either the Memorial Day Springfield Mile or the Hagerstown 1/2 Mile in July. The Moto GP this weekend was also a non event for me. Now, whether or not I can do the WV Rally, I'm pretty sure I'll miss the Labor Day Springfield Mile. I know one thing, if I can't get the Cat scan rescheduled, I'm going Somewhere next weekend. I bet it freakin' pours on me if I do. I don't care if it does. I just put a fresh set of Angel GTs on the Norge, and they work really well in the wet. | ||

Anyone see the weather for next weekend? It's supposed to be high 70s/low 80s during the day and high 50s/low 60s at night. That's perfect! | ||

Wolfridgerider....Room will be at a premium on the Uly ....But is there anything I can do/bring ?I think my girl is going to join me so we will be there late friday night..... | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Nope. There should be a cooler or two on site for beverages. Plenty of stores in town to pick up what you may need or want. You will want to try and be there before 6PM on Friday if ya can. Some of the locals are fixing a bunch of eats for us to grub on at shelter #3. Where is shelter #3? Hell if I know.... It down in the main park area. I hope to have a park map at our campsite at the Cokely Campgrounds posted once I get there and get settled in. | ||

This time next Friday, we'll be around a campfire! | ||

....I really H-A-T-E 'towing' a bike to an event...but I'm OLD, dammit!! This age thing seems to be effecting a good number of us! What the hell!!?!?  The hilarity of what was randomly overheard being said by a Harley chick at Little Switzerland has become quite apropos, to the effect of: " we(Harley riders) can't get around for all of these Old Ass Buell Riders! They are everywhere!" In some places we are now known as O-A-B-R!  On that note.....dammit Crusty.....you're not alone with medical woes. Plumbing problems had me in for a CT this week. Now I have to do a follow up ultrasound scan Friday afternoon, this one cannot be rescheduled. It has to be done in time for my meeting with the doc next round. Doc has advised me to limit my riding until we can isolate the problems and fix some stuff. My newest limitations also include; NO intake of GOOD foods, NO driving long distances, and NO consumption of carbonated drinks, including, and as well as alcohol type stuff. Shit.  This is why I cannot make WVBRVII. OABR indeed! I feel the need for a new T shirt! (Message edited by etennuly on August 09, 2014) | ||

Etennuly ...you're coming to this event? or not? I'm confused ??? | ||
| Thumper74 |
Wait... so... carbonated alcoholic beverages? So, non-carbonated, alchoholic beverages are okay? Seems to make sense! | ||
| Etennuly |
Rayycc1, I see what you mean.....let me toss up an edit .....there.....fixed it! No, I will not be making the blessed event. Yes, it sometime sucks to be me. Good thing is given time I can get over it. Still looking better to get old than dead!  Until lately I did not even know how to spell AARP! Now I are one! | ||

Some days it's a close call Vern.  | ||

| Cyclonecharlie |

| Wolfridgerider |
Man.... today is DRAGGING by... I bet the rest of the week will too | ||
| Damnut |
Wolfie....... When will you get there? I may be there late Thursday night. It depends on how I feel. I may stop along the way and finish Friday morning or ride straight through, not sure yet. |
