So few photos, you'd think all you guys were CIA and went out of your way to avoid pictures posted on the web. 'Sup, dudes?
<edit 1 minute later> I stand corrected: ONE photo of TWO guys, and one of the guys doesn't ride an FJR. I am beginning to suspect that the ride never happened and rbentnail posted a photo from shutterstock.

A lot of riding done...but no way to charge the phone for the 2 day camping trip...so I kept that for emergencies.

Western VA below WV is a nice place to ride...that's for sure! 840 miles over the two days, some of them twisty.

One of these days I'll do a little more flower sniffin and picturetakin but this weekend we rode to eat and ate to ride.

There were a few pics taken. I borrowed a couple from Wheat and added a couple of mine.

Tents at Hungry Mother.

Buzzard roost



Campground chow



Two spectacular days of riding. 909 miles for me-about 80 on each end getting to and from the good stuff. That means about 750 miles of GREAT roads. I'm guessing 600 of that was 2nd or 3rd gear

. We didn't hit a bad stretch of pavement all weekend. I'm JEALOUS of the crowd that'll be at EOM this weekend.

I really liked Hungry Mother and the area-can't wait to go back.

Personal power supply. Will jump start the bike if needed, has usb port and cables for charging. Small, light, easily fits under the seat.
