Finally made it back to Romney Cycle yesterday. First time I've been there since our camping event this past spring.
Spring event: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=4141.msg82138#msg82138
They were busy as always, but I did have a chance to spend some time with Kevin (owner) and Larry (GM). After the initial pleasantries, I was not surprised to hear Larry ask, "What can we do to make things better for you guys next year?" I've come to expect that type of attitude from them.
In short, they are excited to have the "2nd Annual" adventure event. Last year they provided a place to camp, port-a-potties, a place to shower, fed us on Saturday evening, started a fire each night and provided seats around the fire. It was a great base camp for getting out on a terrific West Virginia ride on Saturday. This year they want to do more to accommodate us, but they're not sure what else we want.
I don't want to limit Larry's question to my brain alone. So if you were there last year, or if you might come this year, or if you just have good ideas, what kind of dealership support in addition to what I mentioned would improve the experience? They really want to make this an annual event that people look forward to attending.
No date has been set yet. Last year there was a couple of other events happening including the annual Strom gathering down at Iron Horse. It would be good to avoid scheduling for the same conflicting weekend. I know Larry is open to doing it earlier this year. If you know of a date that is bad for some reason between mid/late April and end of May yell it out.
Thoughts, ideas...what do you have?
