    My NEW Favourite State is ......

    West Virginia...... WV baby

    State speed limit 70mph. six pack $4.59

    I know I've talked up PA but West Viriginia this weekend has been superb.

    Have you ever stopped in to a Welcome Center and asked for any information on motorcycling the state?? They look at you like you're nuts
    Drop in WV at the I79 center ..... they gave me THREE useful brochures

    The governor is a big bike fan.... no Julian Fantino, no Cam, no 203 ... you can open it up here but it wont be for very long cause there isnt a straight road in the state. Even the I kinda swings back and forth through the mountains. Pavement is in very good shape ... no mid corner surprises

    Speed enforcement is fairly relaxed but hey buy a WVU T shirt show it to the statie and you're good to go.... Go Mountaineers

    The US Moto road site lists tons of roads to ride.... highlight them on the map and you've got your plan

    darn right, I've done some riding down there (not enough), and there are tons of good roads.

    Just remember, West Virginia, *not* Virginia.

    WV is nice but its all about the west coast! Colorado, arizona, california, utah and nevada...now those are some places with some of the most interesting roads ive ever seen...

    We drove north up 219 in WV this past Monday. What a stunning road, huge elevation changes, turns, turns, and more turns! Some slow town sections, but, overall, 9.5/10!

    The most common problem with motorcycles is the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
