I've got the time off requested already and I'm pretty sure I'm getting it approved. We'll have to meet to discuss a plan over the next few months.

See if you can make it to Team Triumphs open house http://www.rideteamtriumph.com/events.htm

Hi Everyone. I live a short ride from this area and it is a treat to ride in.Many,many miles of what ever you like to ride. As soon as the weather breaks I plan on riding over and gathering up some address's and phone numbers of some of the smaller places to stay that aren't advertised as much.There are a few small B&Bs in the area as well as some older larger houses that have been turned into sleeping rooms/bunkhouse type.There are lots of primitive/not so primitive areas to camp.I will try and gather all this up and get to eldiii as soon as I'm able and he will post up for everyone.Can't wait to meet/see all these Tigers in one local.Should be a little something eh!

Hey Guys, I went through Davis, WV today on my way home (from DC) and should have more lodging info soon.  In short though, The State Park Lodge has from outside appearances a cleaner look than the local motels.  The rides will be similar to what we did at Wellsboro (PA) last year.  WVMike is a hard core off roader with his Tiger and promises anyone with knobbies you will be a "mountineer" by the end of the weekend.  For the rest, lots of paved two lane sweepers and woop de dos.  vwmike also knows of free (primitive) camping spots close by.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon,

Just a note on the Eastern Tiger Ride-In:

I started these Tiger Ride-Ins 6 years ago. At that time we had one per year and it was in MO, then in Arkansas.

Then I decided to have an Eastern Ride-In because a bunch of riders from FL, NC, GA, TN, had been making long rides each year to the Midwest. So why not make life easier on them and start one closer to home.

I learned.... sitting here in Nebraska was not a good place to plan things for other areas of the country. So I solicit folks in different areas to put the package together in THEIR area. Believe me.... it's best for everyone.

I know Ed Dreikorn is super enthusiastic about these events and he will do a great job. I don't know WV Mike.... but he's doing what he can to make it a memorable event.

So guys.... plan on attending, tell your friends, I'll pop a flyer to you if you will hand deliver it to your dealer. We have an opportunity to get a BUNCH of Tiger at this event.

Finally, the very BEST thank you that we get from these events are,
" This was really nice. Relaxed. Great people. Great Time."  That makes it as good as it gets.

I'll see you in Davis in June!

I surely do appreciate you fellers going to such lengths to make these Ride-Ins happen.

Unfortunately (for me), I have already made reservations for a fambly vacation then, but perhaps I'll get to a Ride-In before too long.

Thanks again.

Ditto on that.  I'm really looking forward to being able to meet up at one of these ride ins and really appreciate those that put them on for us to enjoy.  I've only had my Tiger for a few months and I'd say I've found the best group of riders in the country.  Looking forward to many more years of meeting as many of you as possible.  :icon_salut
