I'm Norm Kern, and I'd like to welcome you to
Motorcycle Sport Touring Association's
largest regional rally, which comes to Marietta, Ohio
Monday, August 17 - Sunday, August 23
Look over the Event Guide to see all the fun things we have planned, and if you have any questions, feel free to EMAIL or CALL me any time.
Every day is a riding day, with social time in the evenings. Most attendees arrive on Thursday, ride for 2 days and go home on Sunday. Saturday is the biggest riding day, so even if you only come for the weekend, you'll have a great day of riding with lots of fun folks. If you have time to attend Monday-Wednesday, you will experience a relaxed, small rally atmosphere where it's very easy to meet and make new friends.
Everyone will be out riding the twisty roads of Southeast Ohio and West Virginia. You can choose one of the official routes, create your own, go sightseeing or whatever strikes your fancy. The EZ Route Selector offers nine convenient categories to help you choose from the over thirty GPS routes in the FlyBy Week collection.

Texas Roadhouse is located on Pike street, just a few hundred feet from the hotel. Check at registration for available discount coupons. IHOP and Wings Etc Grill & Pub are right across the street from the hotel and have full menus for dine-in & carryout. IHOP has a 20% discount for FlyBy Week attendees- just show your wristband. Gran Rey Mexican restaurant is on Pike street, across from the GoMart. There are many nice restaurants downtown. Many attendees have four wheeled vehicles available so it's easy to find someone to ride with.
Comfort Suites has a large, well lit parking lot and for 2026 there will be a large area in front of the main entrance reserved for motorcycles only. Attendees love to hang out here to look at bikes and socialize. Our overflow hotel next door, Fairfield Inn has a similar area for attendees who are staying there.
Thursday--Saturday, our trademark "Outdoor Lounge" is located behind the East end of the hotel by the patio. We'll have lots of chairs and popups with tables so you can relax with friends. We provide pop, water and snacks, along with the ABC- Adult Beverage Cooler, filled with ice so you can share and swap your favorite brews.
