I finally had a chance to ride with some of my brothers who
work for Thunder Roads West Virginia during the past month or so. Now, that
might sound a little strange at first. We are after all, a motorcycle magazine.
We are all riders who live to ride the roads of this great state. It would seem
that we should be riding together all the time. But it just doesn’t work that way.
For one thing, each of our reps lives in a different geographical part of the
state. That’s how we serve the needs of our readers and advertisers, and
distribute the magazines quickly across the entire state. By knowing the
region in which they live, and being an active part of those communities, our
reps provide dedicated, personal service. They also know the bikers in their
communities, and use the tools available through this magazine to help get the
word out about fundraisers and other activities being sponsored by, and for,
our brothers and sisters on two wheels.
I travel the state extensively by bike, covering stories, attending bike events,
and occasionally meeting with our reps. But the meetings are usually short Then I finally got a chance to ride with Jeff Davis of Hinton. Jeff is the newest

Their run through West Virginia included a stop in Philippi, where Thunder Roads West
Virginia caught up with them. This is the 14th state they have traveled through, and plan to hit
the remaining 36 by year’s end. Their travels, along with Chris’ chemo treatments, are being
documented by photographer Andy Madison, and can be followed on their website at www.
road2Acure.org.
The Calaprices aren’t just out there trying to raise money. Visits with other pancreatic cancer
patients are also a big part of what they do. For a disease that claims most of its victims within a
year of diagnosis, Chris offers hope. “When people see Chris, a survivor for six and a half years,
it changes their world,” says Jennifer. “We thought it would affect people. But we’ve since heard
from people, ‘Oh, no. There’s not affecting going on. There’s absolute change!’ Chris has been
asked if he’s giving false hope, and we’ve talked about it a lot. We don’t think there’s any such
thing. Because without hope…you’re dead.”
“I’ve learned a lot about the quality of life,” reflects Chris as he thinks about his chats with other
pancreatic cancer survivors. “It’s the quality of the days that we have. If we have hope, and if we
have a positive outlook, it doesn’t matter how many days you’re here. We have a chance to have
quality in those days.”
He has learned this, Chris says, through his contact with the motorcycle community. “There’s
something about the motorcyclist’s spirit,” Chris says. Jennifer jumps in to define that “something”
in a single word. “Real,” is how she puts it. “Until Chris started riding the bike, I had never been
familiar with bikers. I was in with a room full of bikers and we were educating them and making
them aware of pancreatic cancer, and it felt comfortable. It felt like home. It felt real.”
The physical prognosis for Chris, he says, is “grim”. He has already beaten the odds by many
years but points out, “This game will never be over.” Thanks to the continuous treatments and
positive attitude about living life each and every day, his psychological outlook is anything but
grim. And don’t count out the effect motorcycling has had on him. “Don’t park the bike in the
garage because you have cancer,” he advises.
“It’s given me a lot of freedom back,” Chris Calaprice says of riding this nation on a bike. “It’s given
me a peace that I don’t get anywhere else.”

Riding for the Relay
“Cancer is just so common that
anymore, you’re the outcast if
you don’t have it,” says Angela
Romesburg. “When you talk to
someone, they either have it or
they know someone that has
it. It’s just on and on. There’s
no stop to it.” Angela and her
husband Todd have gone on
many cancer fundraising rides in
the past year. She dons her pink
jacket and helmet, climbs aboard
the passenger seat of their Buell,
and rides to support those who
have been afflicted with cancer.
Although the cause has always been important to
Angela, riding to combat cancer is now personal.
A short time ago, the disease entered Angela’s life
when she was told she has sarcoma, a soft tissue
muscle cancer.
On this beautiful day in May, Angela, Todd, and
scores of other bikers are riding in the Relay for
Life poker run to raise funds for the Monongalia
County chapter of the American Cancer Society.
“I’m a volunteer for the American Cancer Society.
I’m a four-time cancer survivor,” says Gerri Angoli,
who organized this event. Gerri works at the Breast
Cancer Awareness ride that runs every October from
Triple-S Harley-Davidson in Morgantown. When the
idea for a “Relay” ride was floated, she took it to the
folks at Triple-S and they agreed to be the starting
point for this run as well.
Bikers took off from the Triple-S parking lot in small
groups, weaving their way through the local streets
to the first stop at Brookstone Plaza. From there,
the route headed out on Route 7 east to the second
stop in Kingwood, and then down 72 (coincidently,
this month’s Hidden Highway) through Rowlesburg,
where bikers made a right turn on Highway 50 to the
third stop in Grafton. The ride eventually ended at
Archie’s in Sabraton.
“They give out money for research and they fund a
lot of research programs themselves,” Gerri Angoli
says of the money raised by the American Cancer
Society through the many Relay for Life events held
all around the country. “And some of it turns back into
education. They help support screenings for breast
and ovarian cancer. They do a lot in that respect.”
Angela Romesburg, the constant supporter of cancer
rides, was the subject of her own cancer ride just
two weeks later. Bikers gathered to help pay medical
bills that are gathering as Angela fights her own
battle against the disease. For more on the “Rollin’
for Angela Dice Run”, see the story on our website at
www.thunderroadswv.com.

Bikers deploy to support the Troops
When an American soldier is sent overseas to protect your freedoms, the tour of
duty involves more than just that one person. There is an entire family whose lives
are turned upside down. Children, wives, and husbands endure the separation, the
hardships of daily life without a partner, the anguish of not knowing if their loved
one is safe today.
Military families have long banded together to help each other cope. What began
throughout history as informal support groups has been formalized into a command-
sponsored programs called Family Readiness Groups (FRGs, in military speak).
With deployment scheduled for later this year, one West Virginia National Guard
FRG is swinging into action. The “A” Battery of the 1st Battalion 201st Field Artillery
in Elkins, along with the rest of the 201st, based in Lewisburg, Morgantown, and
headquartered in Fairmont, will be shipping out. But at this point, that’s all they
know.
“We keep hearing different things. Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait. We’ve heard it all,”
says Rebecca Ball, President of the FRG in Elkins. “We don’t really know.”
When the Elkins FRG sponsored a ride to raise funds last month, the National
Guard supported the effort by bringing out the “Patriot Chopper” built by Orange
County Choppers a few years ago.
84 bikers also supported the cause by climbing aboard their bikes for a 150 mile
run on an absolutely gorgeous Saturday. The bikes rolled out of the Elkins armory
into 70 degree temperatures with a blue sky overhead. Heading west from Elkins
through the center of the state, the first stop was at Bombshell Cycles in French
Creek. Riders had logged about 75 miles by the time they reached the second stop

Hidden Highways
State Highway 72
It’s not unusual

for a road in West Virginia to change
character as it makes its way across
the varying terrain of our state. This
is, after all, the “Mountain State”.
The thing that sets State Highway
72 apart from the rest is the way
in which it makes this character
change. 38 miles of gracefully arc-
ing river valley pavement instantly
turns into a single lane mountain
zig-zagger that will leave some rid-
ers breathless and others gasping
for air. There can be a thin line be-
tween ecstasy and agony. But I’m
getting ahead of the story.
Just east of Kingwood in Preston
County, the Cheat River sneaks under Highway 7. This intersection provides all the motivation necessary for
the creation of Highway 72, which heads upriver alongside the Cheat on the way south to the intersection
with U.S. 50 just south of Rowlesburg. This 16 mile stretch of river-hugging road is loaded with left-right me-
anderings dictated by the waterway’s design. The rocky riverbed is loaded with small rapids and waterfalls
whose appearance varies with the water levels. There are boulders in this stretch of the river bigger than
SUV’s. It’s an impressive view. It’s also a big draw for kayakers, and on weekends the roadside parking areas

72 is well suited for riders of all experience levels. Several trips back and forth reveled that the pavement in you would think – but it’s mostly wilderness.
The road is one lane, but traffic is two-way. There is a lot of gravel in the road. It is, at times, steep. It has first gear
switchbacks and blind hairpins. There is a lot of gravel in the road. The drop-offs on the other side of the guard rail
can be impressive. The speed limit is 35, and you’ll only get close to that a few times. Did I mention gravel? And
oncoming traffic on a one-laner?
Look, I don’t want you to think I’m trashing this stretch of the road. I’m just saying that it’s a lot different than the stretch
of State Highway 72 from Kingwood to Parsons. Night and day different. Unlike the valley segment of 72, this is not a
stretch of road for a novice rider. It presents challenges at times that will take a newbie well out of the comfort zone.
State Highway 72 T-bones into Highway 32, just south of Canaan Valley. Even though the highway only lives for some
53 miles end to end, it manages to lead a fascinating double life.

FLAG DAY
FAther’s Day First Day of summer

Leaving No Brother Behind They have served their nation honorably in a military theater of opera-
tions, risking their lives in defense of The United States of America. The
experience has changed their lives, their code. They are patriots. They
also, according to the national website, “promote a positive image of mili-
tary Veterans as well as motorcyclists.” They are the Warrior Brotherhood
Veterans M/C, and the West Virginia Chapter’s first fundraiser for the Vet-
erans Hospital in Beckley drew a nice crowd of bikes.
“They are having issues where a lot of homeless veterans and veterans
that don’t even have the funds to even get to the VA hospital, get taken
care of, get looked at,” says Gabriel “Bones” Roldan, Vice-President of the
Chapter and organizer of this event. “Then they don’t have the money for
transportation to get home. Don’t have any food in their bellies the whole
day. They don’t have nothing to go home to. The money that we’re raising
today goes to a fund.” The fund is set up to provide food vouchers, trans-
portation, and other very basic necessities.
The ride began and ended in the parking lot of the John Eye Big Sandy
Superstore in Beckley. The mountainous area around Beckley, with it’s
deeply cut river valleys slicing their ways between, provides a great area
to stage a ride. An intense, but brief early morning thunderstorm had rolled
through. Its blades of lightning were the cutting edge of a strong cold front.
Brisk winds would blow all day, and the temperatures would be about 20
degrees cooler than yesterday. But the sun would shine, and the 90 or so
miles of the route would be a biker’s paradise. Bikes rolled out in small
groups between 11:30 and Noon.
Escaping the minor logjam of traffic heading east through Beckley required
a few minutes of patience – just enough time for the engines to come up to
a nice operating temp. The next 20 or so miles down to the Green Valley
Bar and Grill were a beautiful drop into the river valley. Another run head-
ing in a different direction was stopped at the Green Valley at the same
time. It made for an impressive display of machinery in the parking lot.
The ride progressed up Route 20 alongside the New River for a while,
before the highway climbs away to Meadow Bridge and the second stop,
at In the Wind in West Virginia. A tasty, twisty county road connected us
with Danese, and Highway 41. Next stop: the Prince Train Depot. The 12
mile ride from here back to the starting point was all too short…I think ev-
eryone was ready for more of this great ride. But food, games, and even a
dunk tank were waiting for the riders when they returned to the parking lot.
This was the first year for the Warrior Brotherhood’s VMC VA Hospital run.
It won’t be the last, because the need to raise money to help veterans
won’t soon end. “It’s getting a lot worse,” says Bones. “The VA hospitals,
they’re getting their budgets cut in half, and the funds to them are not
adequate enough to help those veterans.”

By Jim “Jammer” Marcum
May the Lord smile on you. Numbers 6:25
Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, the important task is to discover how to do that. Figure out
what will please Christ, and then do it. The Bible gives us a clear example of a life that pleases God. The man’s
name was Noah.
In Noah’s day, the world was morally bankrupt. Everyone lived for their own pleasure. God couldn’t find anyone
interested in pleasing Him, so He was grieved and regretted making man. God became disgusted with the
human race and considered wiping it out. But there was one man who made God smile. The Bible says, “Noah
was a pleasure to the Lord” (Genesis 6:8). God said Noah brought Him pleasure. He makes me smile. I’ll start
over with his family.” Because Noah brought pleasure to God, you and I are alive today.
God smiles when we love him supremely. Noah loved God more than anything else, even when no one else
did! The Bible tells us Noah “consistently followed God’s will and enjoyed a close relationship with Him.“ God
made you to love you, and He longs for you to love Him back. He says, “I don’t want your sacrifices - I want
your love; I don’t want your offerings - I want you to know me” (Hosea 6:6).
God loves you and desires your love in return. He longs for you to know Him and spend time with Him.
Learning to love God and to be loved by Him should be the greatest objective of your life. Nothing else comes
close in importance. Jesus called it the greatest commandment. He said, “’Love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment” (Matthew
22:37-38).
Jim “Jammer” Marcum resides in Charleston and has been involved in motorcycle ministry for
nearly 15 years and serves as Clergy within Highways and Hedges Motorcycle Ministry.

Thunder Roads
West Virginia
Sponsors a Cage
It’s not often that bikers get
together to support a car. But this
isn’t just any car. Thunder Roads
West Virginia has joined a host
of other sponsors to support the
second annual Norwalk Festival.
The Norwalk Motor Car
Company built cars in
Martinsburg, WV for a few years
starting in 1909. The Norwalk
was a monster, utilizing a six-
cylinder airplane engine with an
electric push-button transmission
on a chassis that measured
over eleven feet in length. An
interested buyer could purchase
more than a dozen Ford Model-
T’s for the price of a single
Norwalk. It was marketed as
“The Car of Absolute Exclusiveness”.
That marketing is correct, even today. There is only one 1914 Norwalk
known to still exist, and the Norwalk Foundation in Martinsburg is working
hard to pay for the cost of bringing this car back to the area.
The 2-day fundraising festival has a decidedly biker friendly day on
Saturday, June 26. Team FMX will be bringing its freestyle motocross
stunt show to the Berkeley County fairgrounds for a show that will take
your breath away. These guys and their bikes spend more time in the air
than on the ground. There will be a bike show sponsored by Evel Speed.
Bikes are also welcome in the Sunday show on June 27, which will
feature a wide variety of vehicles.
Join in the festivities on June 26 and 27, and be
sure to visit the Thunder Roads West Virginia tent in
the vendor’s area at the Norwalk Festival. We’ll see
you there!

Snapping shots by Ken Holby
First off, I am not a professional photographer
- not even close, but my website (www.
kenthepictureguy.50webs.com) has nearly 500
photos on it of riders and their machines from in
and around the Clarksburg area, so I do have
the experience and would like to share with you
some hints here about taking shots you’d be
proud of sharing with family and friends. I’ve learned how to take a decent shot
by trial and error, just as most of you are doing now. I’ve found there’s nothing
worse than coming home from an event and uploading the photos from the
camera’s chip into your computer and find out all you have are a bunch of out of
focus or too dark to see rectangles.
So... let’s get started:
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK - It is printed for a purpose. The latest digital
cameras have so many options available on them, you might as well spend a few
hours reading your manual and get to know your camera and its capabilities. If
you find a section you don’t understand, go on to the next subject and come back
to it later. I’ll go over a few of them below, but because each camera is different, I
can’t discuss them all.
SELECTION OF THE BATTERIES - I suggest throwing any regular batteries
which may have come with the camera into the garbage or else put them in one of
your wall clocks. That’s all they are good for. LITHIUM - remember this word. It
is all you want to know about batteries anymore. A good set of Lithium batteries
can last you up to a year or more of normal use, whereas a regular set might last
a couple months. If you want to try the movie-mode of your camera (if available)
you will find out real quickly why I recommend this type of battery. Yes, they are
a bit pricey - usually around $10 for a set of 4 AA’s, but they are totally worth it...
and always pick up at least a set of 4. Never be without a backup set!! I’ve found
out the hard way about this. And, before I forget - remove the batteries if you
don’t plan to use your camera for a month or more. They might leak and ruin the
camera.
TAKING THE SHOT - With most modern cameras, there is a solid-state circuit
inside which will auto-focus your subject. Make sure you give the camera a
chance to do this. Mine will pop-up a green box when it’s focused. Yours might be
different. If the box focuses on something else instead of what you want it to be
on, try moving around a bit until it gets it right.
TRIPODS - With the introduction of the newer, higher resolution cameras (8-12
megapixel) any shaking on your part can ruin a set of pictures. Therefore I’d
recommend picking up a nice camera tripod for around $15-25. It’s used for those
shots where you can pose the subject and the tripod will keep your camera nice
and steady. Don’t bother with the mini-tripods. Who do you know who is 12” tall?
Most tripods also come with a swiveling head with a handle. In movie mode, you
can do a nice, steady side to side pan of your subject(s) without the normal, jerky

themselves or receiving a new digital camera as a gift. With this article, I’d like to 10 SECOND TIMER OPTION - Most digital cameras include a 10 second timer

used a digital camera before. There are still many of us who were used to the old time where a tripod comes in handy.
Kodaks, where you just aimed and shot your photos, then sent your rolls of film
PICTURE RESOLUTION - Most cameras have at least 4-5 resolution options
off to be developed. Those days are now long gone. The digital age is here and
available. For basic pictures you want to share with your friends or family, use
you might as well get used to it. With the advent of the modern digital camera,

give you nicely detailed shots but will be very large (2 or more computer screens)
and really suck up space on your memory chips. Photo editing software comes
with most cameras. Learn how to resize and crop your photos. If you plan on
printing your photos, I’d recommend using the highest setting for the best results,
but make sure your printing option is set to “shrink to fit” a sheet of photo paper.
MEMORY CHIPS - These come in sizes from 1 to 32 megapixel (mp), with
the 4mp being the norm for around $12-15 each. I can get approx. 30-50 high
resolution shots on mine. Pick up 2 or three of them and store the extras in your
camera case. You did buy a case, didn’t you? The reason I use 4mp is that if it
goes bad, I’m only out a few bucks and it seems as if every type of store has them
for sale. Make sure they are inserted in the camera correctly.
THE RED-EYE SETTING - Have you ever taken shots of your friends inside with
the flash turned on and the photos all came out with everyone having those “Devil
Eyes?” The Red-Eye setting on your camera does away with most of this. The
camera will flash twice - first to make your subjects eyes get used to a bright light
and then flash a second time to take the actual picture. Ta-da, no more red-eye.
PHOTOS OUTSIDE IN THE SUN - Your camera does not like the sun, so make it
happy and never point in the same direction as the sun when taking pictures. Try
to always have the sun at your back or to the back right or left of you. The sun,
if pointed at, will have a tendency to “wash out” your shots. If your subject(s) are
standing in front of a wide, sun drenched background, you might want to have
them move to a little bit darker area. Your shots will come out a lot nicer.
FLASH MODE DURING THE DAYLIGHT - In my experience, I always make sure
the flash is OFF during the day when taking close shots (5-10 feet). I’ve found
my camera will sometimes give the shots a strange hue (color), so I don’t use it
anymore.
ANTI-SHAKE MODE - There is an Anti-Shake mode on most of the newer
cameras. If you plan to take shots without a tripod, I highly suggest you turn this
option on, if you have it. The higher the resolution your camera has, the more
effect just plain old body movement on your part will have on the clarity of the final
product. A 4mp-6mp camera doesn’t have this problem as much as the higher
resolution ones do (8-12mp).
FINAL HINT...TAKING A NICE SHOT OF SOMEONE ON A BIKE - I’m going to
give my secret away here, but that’s okay. Take your time and set the shot up.
Look at the preview picture on the back of the camera and see if it’s just what you
want. Leave only about a foot (12”) of space all around your subject. Read all
my hints on settings again and then for the big secret - kneel down. This makes
all the difference in the world with a bike and rider shot. Don’t get too low, about
even with the top of the front tire or the handlebars. One more thing - take 2, 3 or
4 shots with each being a little bit different in the angle and the rider’s pose.
Give these suggestions a try the next time you want to take photos you’d like to
share with others. I can’t guarantee great results right off the bat, but I’d bet after
awhile, your photos will start to be the envy of others.

Shane’s Shining Day
Shane Rubright is a young boy of eight with osteomyelitis, a chronic bone infection. He had surgery this
past March, and spent 5 days in the WVU Children’s Hospital in Morgantown. He’s been getting home
schooled since then, and is enjoying it. “Shane has been really brave through all of this,” says his mother,
Bobbi Jo. “He is a real fighter. He should be going back to school soon.”
To help with the family’s expenses through all of this, eastern panhandle riders gathered to do what they
could. Thunder Roads West Virginia’s Dave Luksa was among them. Here’s his take on the day.
++++++++++++++
The weather wasn’t looking the best. As we pulled into The Rock at 1:00 p.m. we numbered only six
bikes. I heard a comment made that we could have a column of three, two wide. Then, one by one
through the door they came. Leather clad riders numbering 26 in all. In the middle of all this, an eight
year old fights his way through the crowd.
What a nice young man Shane Rubright is. He was very excited and curious about the bikes, the people
and the goings on of a poker run. Sitting at the draw table, Shane was showing off his scars from his
recent surgery on his right arm and telling us about his cast coming off. He even made some picks for
one of the bikers. The offer was made to take a closer look at the bikes, and off he went into the parking
lot, with a grin from ear to ear.
Two o’clock and the kick stands went up, and down the road we went to our second stop at Iffie’s. Next,
to Secrets in Ranson, then Alto’s club outside of Shepherdstown (one of our favorite spots). A raffle was
on this time for a little blonde who wanted to ride on the rest of the run. When I hit the door, bidding was
up to $100.00. I never did see that girl again.
Back to The Rock, and just in time. The weather look like it was catching up. It was bright inside and the
place was packed with regulars, eager to see the bikes rolling in. Food was piled high and there was a
table full of door prizes. What a good time, and the best of all was the help going to Shane’s family for
some of their medical expenses. The total of $880.00 was not good enough. Zippy hit the 50/50 and gave
his part of the $214 back. It was on! Tina pulled a bill out, then Greg, and Doug. Dana from M.A.D.D.
ABATE was on a roll and had people with money in hand. A nice donation of a couple of “C notes” came
from the prez and his vice from The Men of Malice M/C. In all we were up over $1400!
