From the MOA Facebook page...
Dave Cranston asked, "I'm looking to head to West Virginia at the end of May. Can anyone from West Virginia recom- mend some amazing twisties for us?"
Jeff Kernen Not from WV but have been there many times! Just ride in the direction of the state. Once in state, ride! Everywhere you go is a great road! Follow the rivers, the railroads all are great!
Roger Pence Rt. 219 runs north to south. All of it is great, as well as the many intersecting routes. Be sure to say hello as you pass through Lewisburg.
Love my K 1600 GTL Last November I traded my 2012 Harley Davidson Road Glide for a 2016 BMW K 1600 GTL just to try something new after running Harleys all my life. I also tour a lot and read the K 1600 GTL is in a class of its own for comfort and handling for long- distance touring.
I am still a HOG member and will be for
the next two years, and I have also joined the MOA. I received my first BMW Own- ers News in January and think it's great. I honored Harley as a great brand by get- ting a tattoo to show my appreciation. Now, as a new BMW owner, to show my appreciation and love for this brand and machine, I went for my latest tattoo. I don't know if this fits the criteria of the magazine, but I figure I'd sent it to you anyway and let you know I enjoy being a member of another great motor- cycling group.

Steve McBrite The BMWRT group has had many rides that use the Snowshoe ski area as a base, so you know there are excellent roads in that vicinity. Like most riders who have sampled WV's roads will tell you, it's one of the best states for two-wheel fun.
Rich Page Search for Cass Rally WV here [on Face- book]. We have our rally in the heaRt. of some of the best WV has to offer. End of May, Memorial Day weekend. Just be aware that a good bit of WV is in the National Radio Quiet Zone, which will cause weak or no cell signal. However, a lot of the cafes have wifi you can connect to and make calls/send text.
Kevin Khan Make sure to do Rt. 219 and Rt. 250!
Mike Butler 16 south from St Mary's on the Ohio River, then east 39.
Melinda Shipman Had Too many to mention, but do not miss the New River Gorge, just off Rt. 19 at Fayetteville, and do the Bridge Walk, the catwalk under the bridge, if you are not afraid of heights!
