Riding West Virginia's Pocahontas County - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

Pocahontas County, West Virginia just might be the motorcycle Shangri La. Hugging the western Allegheny Mountains in southern West Virginia, this rider's paradise offers little traffic, unsurpassed natural beauty and warm, welcoming people.

There's an endless list of reasons why it's becoming a magnet for bikers of all kinds - from sport to dual-sport to cruisers and touring bikes.

Was born and raised in Parkersburg, the entire state is a great place to ride.

I am presently living in OH, across the river from Parkersburg. I was raised in Princeton and plan to do a bunch of riding in WV this summer. Including a trip to visit the son and daughter-in-law in Princeton at least once. Backroads though, no turnpike unless I have to.

I live near Lewisburg WV, voted coolest small town for 2011, and I can't go in any direction from my home that doesn't give me great riding. That includes this area of VA as well as WV. It's an abundance of two lane blacktop with rolling hills and sweeping turns. You can make it as leisurely or as challenging as you want just by adjusting your speed accordingly. Come see for yourself.

I've ridden my Yamaha four wheeler all over WV. Great place for a vacation. I have been planning on going back on the Phantom someday.

Wow, just joined today and the first post I see is about my home state (and one county over!). I live in Elkins WV and went to med school in Lewisburg, WV. Glad to be a part of the list. Wife and I planning a trip to Snowshoe this summer on the bike.
