{Charleston, West Virginia}...The Capitol City Biker Bash began Thursday at Haddad Riverfront Park in Charleston and will run through Saturday. All kinds of motorcycles will be on hand for the city's first all-bike rally. Organizer Larry Hayes, a Yamaha owner, said he and his fiancee, Vicki Shafer, a Harley owner, have become motorcycle rally enthusiasts and have noted that many of them aren't limited to one brand. This weekend's rally will raise money for a local charity, the River City Therapeutic and Recreation Center, which assists disabled children and wounded soldiers. Hayes said planning for the rally began about eight months ago and he credited the Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau for helping. Saturday morning, there will be a bike show from 10:00 A.M. to noon, followed by a series of "bike games," in which participants will demonstrate maneuverability skills. Friday, motorcycles will be displayed during Live on the Levee at Haddad Riverfront Park and again on Saturday until closing ceremonies at 6:00 P.M.
