WE HAVE A DATE! May 19-20. Details to come.
The guys at Romney Cycles in Romney, WV, have been talking for a while about sponsoring an ADV-style weekend based out of the store, some time in spring 2012. They have quite a few happy Super Tenere customers, but want to get to know us (and the market segment) better. Their main experience is with the cruiser and sportbike market (and ATV's) but they are pretty smart and seeing ADV bike as a growth market ::024::
So Larry, the manager, is saying pretty much it can be whatever we want - we just have to tell him.
Obviously there can be a series of routes mapped out - some more dirt than others! We all know that WV has some great riding - I never get tired of it... Some of us locals I'm sure will volunteer to figure out those routes in advance. We can camp at the store - they have a large parking area as well as grassed area for setting up tents. Larry will work out a group rate at a local motel for those who want to do that. The bathrooms inside the store would be accessible to us, but they would also provide portable toilets and showers in the car park. Drinks and food for the saturday night would also be on the agenda...
The store is huge with a lounge area where there could be presentations or videos etc.
So - what do you want, when do you want to do it? Add your suggestions to this thread!
