Yes,very good riding in West Virginia!As for North Carolina...I've only rode there enough to scratch the surface of all the good riding. I didn't see any deer in West Virginia this time...I did see a coyote and a fox within 100 yards of each other on one of the VERY remote county roads.It...

O.K.,so I'm back from my ride in wild and wonderful West Virginia.1000 miles,three days,some GREAT roads,some not so great county roads and a few moments like Gurock describes in his post.In large,deep gravel the FJR becomes a heavy pig! First...to the great stuff...some of these roads were...

Thanks Joe...near perfect riding forcast.I didn't realize that it is the Memorial day weekend,but I'm going to be in some pretty remote areas,so I hope traffic won't be a problem.I'll be home some time Saturday evening,so it should be just the really nice days.

Hum,I probably shouldn't have read this thread,because it might just end up costing me money.I don't do interstates on my KLR,so the wind really hasn't been a problem for me,but that 7" ceebailey looks pretty tempting for my ride to Virginia in July.

Thanks Heidi...I have that section of 10 on my planned route.I don't have my route here,but I think that part of 3 might be on there too,if not,I'll work it in.Have you been on 71 that goes into Matoaka from the south?I'm going to try it,as well as 99 that runs off of 85 to the northwest of...

Sending pm.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.I've made up a tentative route for the first day that includes quite a few county roads and state highways in the western part of the state below Parkersburg and west of Charleston.Here's some of the state routes...31,47,16,18,119,36,85(it's in there Joe),99 and...

They're always out there.Case in point...CR89 Proctor Creek Road,runs from SR2 five miles north of New Martinsville to SR250.It starts out following Proctor Creek,but once you climb the hill and exit the second switchback you have great pavement for about 16 miles of twisty ridge running before...

Weather is looking good for the weekend and I'm not working,so I think I'll take a little three day exploring trip to the wild and wonderful hills of W.V. Anyone have any suggestions on not to miss roads?I know most of the more well known roads in WV(250,33,16,60,50,220,smoke hole)...I'm...

The weather is looking just about perfect...mid sixties and little to no chance of rain!Even the low temps are inching up near 50. See everybody Friday evening.

Thanks Wayne. ODOT did quite a bit of paving in this area last year,so several of these roads will have very good pavement.328,685,377,792,677 and 676 were all paved last year.669 and 339 were paved the year before.It's especially good to see 676 in great shape again.It's one of my favorite...

Just booked a room so you can move me from "maybe" to "IN". I'll be coming in thursday afternoon,so if you guys don't mind I might just tag along on your WV ride on friday.

For the most part they are in pretty good condition. I've put about a 1000 miles on the KLR in the last couple weeks and most of the roads that I've been on have been pretty clean(at least in the tire tracks),not too much cracking and hardly any potholes. The steep,curvy sections,like 676 from...

I think we did,but in the opposite direction. We probably went from Illsboro-Ceder Falls to 664,that's the way I usually go if someone is with me because I know that turn is there going the opposite direction...and I've blown it before.

Have I got the turn for you.It even has the added excitement of being right at the crest of a hill. Harble-Griffith road in the H.H.s...it got me again Sunday,thank God for no traffic coming the other way and a gravel road exiting the other side mid-turn. I love that road,but it doesn't seem...

That there's a possible FJ-09 in the works.

Just when I thought I was settled on the FZ-09,they go and announce this news. I'm firmly back in the wait and see camp now.

I always knew my taste in music was a little different. I just went through all 9 pages and only saw a few of my favorites. Ricki Lee Jones Self Titled Beatles Rubber Soul Bob Dylan Bringing It All Back Home Dire Straits Self Titled...

35 and sunny today...I need to get off my lazy butt and get the KLR back together...it's time to get out there and see what,if any,harm mother nature did to the roads this winter. Spring is just over the horizon!!!
