    EOM 2016 Location Discussion

    Whytheville looks to be as much an epicenter as Boone. The Ramada Inn propaganda ticks all the wickets and there is certainly no shortage of good roads. If anything there is too many good choices. Clinch Mountain roads kick @ss. For you VA phobes, anything off the interstate there is a LOT...

    Mumsey's orders are prepared from scratch unless you opt for the daily special (hence Bob's slow service, though he needs to relax, pace is just different from his usual environ). A stop at Mumsey's (and Rella's on WV20N) is to be savored. Plan an hour for a group and all will be well. Call...

    You and Joe rode right past Rella's on your way south on WV20 first day out. Her place is right beside the road. Might I suggest another pie place if there is a next time...Mumsey's Iron Skillet in Richwood. I wasn't along, but I bet you rode right by that one too when following FYB. Moral...

    Be careful what you wish for marine. Turn out most any side track like the one to the right; they will hold ya. Russ, I kinda screwed up. Retired. The got a job. So I'll be ready for Sat/Sun but that is the best I can do.

    Screw that. A gauntlet has been laid. Y'all stole my pig. Earmarks indistinguishable my azz... In 1878, thirteen years later, a stolen pig added fuel to the fire between the Hatfields and McCoys. In the southern Appalachian region, food was scarce. A full-grown razorback provided meat and...

    EOM 2015 Routes

    I find it a never-ending source of curiosity that much of the rest of the country readily puts down WV just so that they can feel better about plight in their own neighborhood. WVians are raised to know better. And I sometimes get confused which sandbox I'm in, the tradition elsewhere has...

    EOM 2015 Routes

    I reckon you missed my point. Seems odd to me that any Tennessean would poke fun at someone else for being hillbilly...think about it...? I've been to many parts of TN and I know what I've seen. I'm not even going to mention Cleveland and Florida...Rufkm? If fact the more I ponder, the more...

    Do not assume that the "dual sport" are traversable by a FJR or street bike - they are not... Double dose of clarity.

    EOM 2015 - Lewisburg, WV - 25-27 September 2015

    Well that went without saying, but we'd like to see you here anyway. Perhaps Ms. Tyler's would appoint you chief assistant representative. Carry her camera equipment.
