Harley Rally Invades Charleston

{West Virginia}...About 3,000 Harley enthusiasts are expected to attend all kinds of events along Kanawha Boulevard during  this weekend's rally of the West Virginia Harley Owners Group. Organizers expect the event to have an economic effect of about $1 million in the capital city. West Virginia is one of 48 states that has a rally. Harley Owners Group Regional Manager Bruce Motta says the Mountain State has been recognized for its unique routes and as a great place to ride. The four-day event will allow Harley lovers to enjoy each other's company, listen to music and look at a variety of exhibits before it ends early Sunday morning. People who register at the event on Kanawha Boulevard will have to pay $30, but, if attendees register online, the cost is $25. Closing ceremonies will be held at Haddad Riverfront Park.
