2011 West Virginia Wild and Wonderful MountainFest Motorcycle Rally
We have narrowed next years official 2012 road trip to these two events with a few more in the running but as far as the OFFICIAL club run, it is these two.

Things I remember......
I remember my first bike,85 FJ600....that was the year they went to black and red. Damn I loved that bike. It was the first real motorcycle I had ever ridden. My two wheel experience up to that point was mini bikes as a kid.
I went to Purcells in Jax Fl and picked it up....top of the world Ma!
Now this story I am about to tell you is the first time I have told anyone this. I pick the bike up and ride off down Blanding Blvd. like I owned the world,'til I got about 2 miles down the road and the bike started to cough,sputter,wheeze and just generally act a fool before it died.
I get to the shoulder and I am safety wired in the ****ed off position...my brand new bike just quit. Luckily this was before cell phones because as you are about to see, I would have made an aaaaaaassss of myself had I had a phone.
I'm standin there next to a bike that won't start and could think of nothing else to do but pop the seat off...........and there they were...... my leather work gloves that I had brought with me to the dealer. The salesman took pity on me and threw in a set of gloves and so I put the work gloves under the seat....where the inlet for the airbox was...and well, you see where this is going.
So I take the gloves out of the airbox and lo and effin behold....the bike fired right up.
I had 2 miles of motorcycle experience...get off me.
I remember my first real racing experience. Daytona, 1985, and as I head out of the garage I round the corner of the bldg and come face to face with Kevin Schwantz (1993 world effin champ) on a pit bike and we almost hit head on. Nice!
To this day I still tell people how Schwantz "got all in my way at Daytona" and how "I almost ran him over"
True...but not exactly accurate.
I also remember falling and busting my ass chasing a guy with an arm and a half at Rockingham......but we don't need to get into that.
What do you remember?

the 1st, 3rd, 5th pics are all hard tail choppers, the 2nd is a dyna wide glide(I believe) and the 4rth is a softail
Rigid frame Harley riders remind me of the Amish....No sense gettin' a tractor when there's a perfectly good plow attached to an OX that you can walk behind all day.
Then head off to the shopping center in the horse drawn buggy.
They have "personality....But they're IDIOTS!
