Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC

Reservation made. At least two of us, myself and Brian Collins. Two more are sitting on the fence. I'm all for the catered dinner on Saturday night. I just received a set of the America Rides Maps that covers bike rides in the areas along the Blue Ridge. Lots of choices highlighted in the area! With...

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC

I'm going to make it this year and it looks like some friends will be joining me on the trip. I was through the area last year on my way down to the RA Rally in Asheville and the riding was wonderful! Looking forward to some of the Ducati club routes.

Re: daytime running lights

I have a set of Hella F50 's that I have used for the past 7 years. I have them mounted under the oil coolers and have not had any issues. They are on all the time as running lights and have a switch mounted on the handle bars. They are wired to a relay so they are only on with the ignition. Been ru...

Re: 2013 Beakster Bash, May 16-19, Marietta, OH

This niece is a wild one. She had to wait for her fiancé to get his previous marriage annulled , so I think the chances are that this won't be her only one. It is her first marriage so we go to the first ones but won't travel to the second ones. This one is in St. Louis and her sister gets married t...

Re: 2013 Beakster Bash, May 16-19, Marietta, OH

Just got my copy of RoadRunner magazine and they have an article on riding Southeast Ohio. There is even blurb on the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta. Looks like a great area to ride. I'm tempted to disappoint my niece and miss her wedding to go to the Bash. Besides, she would probably get over it, but ...

Re: 2013 Beakster Bash, May 16-19, Marietta, OH

I have to bow out of this years Bash. I have a family wedding to go to that weekend in St. Louis. Wifey wants me to go with her. She wins this one but I'll make up for it with a trip to the BMWRA rally in June. Sorry I'm going to miss all the fun this year.

Re: Beakster Bash 2012 - May 17th - 20th

It was good to see everyone again this year. Van, thanks for taking the lead and setting up this years Bash. It was an ideal location. Cycle Rob hit on a key point why WV has such good riding, no bumps or potholes! Roads that are too numerous to count that have the 2 or 3 quick banked turns that end...

Re: Beakster Bash 2012 - Time for planning!

I' m booked. Looks like it will be a busy place for bikers and motorcyclists that weekend. The Pacific Coast Riders Club will be there Saturday on their Honda PC 800's and so will another Thunder type bike group :shock: . On the 20th, Sunday, the annual Rolling Thunder ride to DC stops by but I'll o...

Re: Beakster Bash 2012 - where & when?

That's it! Thanks. It does not sound like a good food dish. Had a woman at an earlier Bash in WV tell me that there is a Ramp festival every year in WV and that they are good washed down with bourbon. YIKES!!! I think I'll pass on that one. Looks like a good choice for food in Lewisburg is an Irish ...

Re: Beakster Bash 2012 - where & when?

I'm in and so is my son. Don't need much of an excuse to take time off to ride WV and the Shenandoah Valley. What is the name of the local onion dish in WV? Had some locals describe it when we had the Bash in Barstow.

Turned out to be a great Bash!. It was the equal of any of the other three I have been to. Great people and great riding. And it was only 80 miles from home! The weather was sunny with a chance of cloudiness and the rain held off until Sunday morning but was over by breakfast and the ride home was d...

Re: Beakster Bash VIII - May 12-14, 2011 - Milford, Pa

Looks like I can make it this year. It's only 2 hours from home. This will be my 4th one. I have done a lot of bike camping and riding just north in the Catskills. It will be a good time. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. Should arrive Thursday in time for refreshments.
