Don't threaten me with a good time

We had a great scouting ride over the weekend and I'd like to thank everyone who made it out.
In the wise words of my good friend Paul Mull AKA (Wimp) "I road more curves this weekend than I have in my 60+ years of riding motor-sickles"
The ride will be over Memorial Day Weekend. Meet and greet at the motel Friday May 26th, ride on Saturday the 27th, head home Sunday the 28th
Ground Zero will be at the:
Hatfield McCoy Lodge
1066 S Mayo Trail
Pikeville, KY 41501
(606)-432-2188
Call and let them know you would like a room for the Hillbilly Highway Ride to get the discounted rate of $62
The motel is about 50% renovated, that being said some rooms are better than others. We had 10 folks stay there over the weekend and nobody was itching from bed bugs. In the case of overflow, there is a Hampton, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Daniel Boone Motor Lodge, and Brookshire Inn a few miles down the road in Pikeville
Kickstand up at 9:00 am Saturday in the parking lot of the Hatfield McCoy Lodge. We have one hell of a route picked out! I hope everyone can make it out and enjoy the beautiful hillbilly scenery of Kentucky and West Virginia.

If you haven't already, I would suggest watching the Hatfield & McCoy mini series again. We will be going by various area where feud events took place.
The Hanging of Cottontop Mounds - Downtown Pikeville
The execution of Randall McCoys 3 some - Around Matawan WV.
Devil Anse Hatfield's Burial Site - Sarah Ann WV
Also, a movie made in the late 80's called "Matewan" is also a great film to watch and learn some history of the Matewan Massacre and the start of the Mine Wars.

Some chick apparently won't fit into Fudgie's room. I guess the doors in KY Ain't wide enough  If enough guys get in line behind her, they may get to squeeze her in, is what I understand  Some motor oil may help... |

Well, looks like the motel is filled already.
There are plenty of overflow motels just down the road. The Brookshire and Daniel Boone are the other two mom and pop locations to choose from, if you don't want to pay the price for the Hilton's and Hollidays Inn's.

We explained that to them if it's a nice weekend we'll probably sale the place out . If the weather turns to crap all the fair weather bikers will be no shows getting on here with death in the family , weddings that they must attend etc, etc. |

Well if a few of us weren't on our Ozark's ride we'd consider. Question to Reb...1 out of 10?Who did you know that got the dreaded "bed bugs"? quote.... The motel is about 50% renovated, that being said some rooms are better than others. We had 10 folks stay there over the weekend and know one was itching from bed bugs. ??? Made me chuckle, I've been known to type too fast. Y'all have fun.

Trish and I booked a room at Brookshire Inn at $92 a night including taxes, which google says is about 5-6 miles from ground zero. Thanks Reb for the heads up on the hotel and thanks a lot for putting the ride together. Sounds like a lot of fun.
