Been thinking about it of late and have decided I must do this.
Wanting to get to the US in the next few mths to spend a few days riding. Was thinking West Virginia as I am keen to head to Marshall Uni for a look and see. Anyone from this area and keen to hook me up and show me a few trails. When is the best time to go??? How hard is it to hire a decent bike (prefer a 2T gasser but not too fussy......) I am no racer, just a trail rider who loves taking my ec300 for a bash around the bush!! Love to hear from you if you have any thoughts or can help me with a few rides. |

The site has local dealer lists and I'd bet one of them could let you know about bike rentals. Seems I heard someone a few years back mentioning renting a bike in Charleston or somewhere. If you go forget going to see Marshall Community College ![]() ![]()

Thanks for the reply mate. Will check out that website for more information. Flights are cheaper than I thought, I can get to Huntington, via Charlotte and LA with all taxed for under $2.5k. Probably gonna do this first week in November - is that time of year OK to ride??

i live in morgantown, wv... as mrkatoom said, don't know why you would want to see marshall, as there's really nothing there.....(well there's stuff there, but marshall is not a big campus..)
november is probably too late.. you'll want to do it may-october for optimal riding. i would assume you could fly into pittsburgh or dc or columbus for much less. you'd need to drive approx. 3-6 hours from either of those to get to hatfield mccoy or huntington. anywhere you fly into you'd need to rent a car as it is.... as for renting a bike - i don't know of any rentals in the area.... if you get anywhere near me, i could show you lots of trails. if you enjoy street or dirt riding, wv is one of the best states in the us for it..

I heard great things about Brushy Mountain, and even better things about Durhamtown Plantation. Durhamtown, evidently, has a large rental fleet, a very impressive "pro shop", and an extensive trail system with assorted motocross tracks scattered along the trails. I hope to try that in the fall or over next winter. |
