There were a wide variety of impressive detailing styles on display. The WV Motorcycle Safety Program showed their "trike" and distributed promotional materials. Chuck Kimble obtained a Safety Trainer computerized video training setup. It was a big hit with the kids --- and with the big kids. The CE Helping Hands Motorcycle Group handed out complimentary ThunderRoadsWV magazines and a five-county Potomac Highlands guide to scenic bike rides provided by the WV Tourism agency. The showed was funded in part by donations from Community Sponsors Chuck and Kathy Kimble and Dave and Patty Adkins.
Our thanks to Louis Alt and the Grant County Parks and Recreation Department for their support in making this a successful event. As of March 4, 2012, they still had a few "Bike Blast" tee-shirts for sale (only $10 each for what Louis calls a "walking billboard" for the LAC and Grant County Tourism).
