Local Riders have attended several of the rallys recently held. The Veteran's Rally in Perry
County was a great success with about 170 bikes taking part in the 100 mile ride. Many of the non-riding public came
to enjoy the live music, vendors and good food. The veterans themselves seemed to enjoy the day. Venom Tours was
invited to set up an information booth and took the opportunity to meet the rides and inform them of the many great riding
adventures available in Breathitt and surrounding counties. If you missed this rally, you should make it a point to
attend next year. The site is beautiful and the cause is worthy.
The Tennessee State H.O.G. rally was a great success as usual. The musicians featured were
excellent, particularly Cross Canadian Ragweed. If you haven't heard this Oklahoma band you don't know what you're missing.
Check out their web site. Their music is available on i-tunes as well. The riding aroung Maryville is excellent
with the Dragon in easy range as well as the Foothills Parkway and the Cherohala Skyway. The Skyway may be the best
ride of all. If you haven't ridden it yet, make it a point to go.
The Kentucky State H.O.G. rally was nothing to brag about. Between the bad weather and the
lack of continuous live music (which is a given at every rally) the rally was disappointing to say the least. It seemed
more like a sale the dealership was having than a well organized event. Thats a shame since the Eastern part of
the state has the best riding of any section. Maybe the organizers will do a better job next year. Photos taken at these
rallys will be available on this site in the near future.
Hello Riders,
Spring in Eastern Kentucky has been a dismal mix of cool and rainy
days with only a few pretty days thrown in. The national rallys have begun this week with the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally.
If any of you have attended, please share your pictures and thoughts on the rally.
This Sunday is the Clay City leather store's cruise-in.
Last year there was good attendance. Stop in for a free hot dog, some music and to check out all the bikes.
Next weekend the Perry County veteran's rally takes place.
There will be a 100 mile ride and a fish fry and music. Local singer/musician, Kayla Smith, will begin performing at
2:00 p.m. followed by a rock cover band. There will be several vendor's booths with motorcycles, ATVs and other things
to browse.
In a tragic accident last Saturday we lost a local rider, Bobbie
Morris. Bobbie was a very loved and respected member of the community and will be greatly missed.
