Motorcycle Roads in West Virginia
The Mountain State is home to countless mountain traversing motorcycle rides as the state falls entirely within the Appalachian Mountain range and has an average elevation of 1,500 above sea level ... higher than any other state east of the Mississippi. Outside of it's scenic mountain scenery, West Virginia (WV) offers motorcycle riders access to notable Civil War historical sites, Appalachian arts/crafts/music, scenic railroads and historical coal industry museums.

This route is your basic tree, hills, creeks, farms and country houses route that permeate West Virgina. Not boring, but not some grand joy, either.

We jumped off of I-79 at the Clendenin exit to grab a pizza in that small town about 3 miles down the road. After eating, we checked the map to see how we should go about getting to the New River…

The scenery is good and all, there's just no time to enjoy it. The road is too demanding, and if you look up you won't be looking up for long. If you take it at a nice slow cruise, I suppose you can…

This freshly built road is pure eye candy, from what I've seen between Moorefield, WV and Mount Storm, WV. Parts of the road are blown straight through mountains, parts are built of bridges that are…

The eastern portion runs through some great tree tunnels, up over some hills and the western portion puts you up on a ridge with some great views. I'm sure it is great in both directions. The road…

You can do this road for the fun, but it's biggest asset, especially in the autumn is the scenery. You are, after all, driving a thin windy road up a mountain, no matter which way you take the road,…

A pretty damn good road for high speed twisties. It gets a bit tighter as you get into Webster Springs. The biggest fault with the road is the pavement. The surface changes from great to fair to good…

It's not a boring road. It's not crazy exciting, but if you're in the area it might be worth a look-see. The scenery is standard fare for that area of West Virginia. Hills and valleys with woods on…
