When: August 19 - 21, 2011 Where: Northbend State Park Same place as last year!!... and the year before.. and the year before.... Why: Riding... eating... campfire... does there need to be any other reason??
You can pitch our tent at the same location as last year in the overflow camping area (AKA the Cokely Campground, see Joann) or if camping is not your thing... make your reservations at
The Heritage Inn 315 E. Main St Harrisville, WV 26362 304-643-2938
I've had a pretty good year so far.... so if you are a camper... the campground is on me
what to expect
Friday = Pitch your tent at the Cokely Campground or check into your room and do some riding. Be back at the campground at 5:45 for a very SHORT group ride to the Gainer farm for food and vintage car show. After you are done eating and before to many deer come out... head back to the campground for campfire, maybe a drink or three and lies.
Saturday. go your own way rides or hook up with a group and head out... its up to you. Saturday night is the same as Friday night. Be back at the Campground around 5:45 for a show of force ride back to my folks house or just show up there around 6
Sunday: Roll out of your rack and pack... hugs and goodbyes see you at the next ride... I hope Buelltoberfest
Last year we passed the hat and raised 1000 bucks for Erik Buell Racing. I'll set it out again this year... maybe we can get Geoff a set of tires for New Jersey
check the StormFronts area for the latest details.
Well I need something to look forward to and this is just about right. 500 miles from my place and a chance that I could be back in the saddle again. (14 weeks from my get off)

I understand where your coming from. It sucks to have things fizzle out. I hope the Rally is kick ass and everybody has a great time!
It seems I'm always late to the party. This year is fubar, but am looking forward to making an event or two next year. WV isn't all that far away. I learned about Buell one year before the closing, and wish I had gotten into motorcycles and Buells sooner.
Never been so a few newby ?'s. Not a camper (maybe by then), but I am a drinker. So what is the best option to not have to ride to the place I rest my head? Should I just make sure I am a Camper by that time? Just reread origninal post and I guess there is the possibility of getting a room right at the park Thanks Druelly
camping is the only way to go... or bring a driver to haul your drunk butt back to the hotel... that has been Jimduncan69's job a few times
I will always say stay in the campground if you plan to have a few. Ride all day have a great meal in the evening. head to the campground and park the bike for the evening build a fire have a few drinks... a lot of laughs... crawl to your tent... put your earplugs in... get up about 3 am for a freezing pee that you just can't hold any longer. get back in your tent with wet feet... back... my back hurts... go back to sleep... wake up to Carlos's snoring... ya forgot to put your earplugs back in.... get out of your tent... head to the lodge for breakfast.... meet a "HAWT" waitress.... and then do it all again the next day.
