STAUNTON — The sound of thundering exhaust pipes this weekend will be welcome music for many area businesses.
They’re expected to benefit from a stop by an estimated 400 out-of-town motorcyclists.
The Motorcycle Sport Touring Association’s riders will be staying Saturday through Wednesday at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel and Conference Center and other area hotels. The international group will be visiting area shops and driving local roadways as it makes Staunton its 2009 location for its annual rally and rendezvous.
