We are grateful for your interest in the Wailin Wayne Weekend Rally—this is an experience you definitely won't want to miss!​
Join us in Nelsonville, Ohio, for an exhilarating motorcycle adventure. Experience the thrills of off-road riding on 130 miles of trails within Wayne National Forest, along with countless miles of country gravel roads designed for all riding styles.​
Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery as you traverse Hocking Hills State Park along Ohio's Windy 9, featuring exciting hairpin twists and turns that make up nearly 1,000 miles of pure riding bliss.​
Thirteen years back, we revved up our motorcycle adventure rally with a mere 12 attendees, proudly dubbing ourselves “The Dirty Dozen.” This year, we're changing up that classic tale by inviting you, along with some legendary British adventurers to join us for this year's British-themed celebration at the 13th Annual Wailin Wayne Weekend Rally – The Backer's Dozen Edition!!! Cheers to what’s sure to be a wild ride!

I bought my first BMW R1200 GSA in March of 2014... It was my attempt to combine my old Motocross Racing days back in high school to my love of riding on the best twisty country roads I could find on my Harley... I would take my GSA to our first rally that same month, the March Moto Madness Rally in Tellico Plains TN...
