    55 West Virginia Counties

    I am aiming to ride my motorcycle to each of West Virginia's county seats, because why not? And I'll post pictures here, because why not? My goal is to get to all 55 before Christmas 2023.

        Exactly, why not?

        If you were traveling by car, there would be many reasons why not. But you're not, so why not?

        When I got my first street bike in 1975, I decided to ride down every street in my county, then every street in my city. Haven't got there yet.
        1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

          Kentucky has 120 Counties, I have ridden through a lot of them but not much photographic evidence. Sounds like a fun quest!
          sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
          2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

            Good idea in WV! OH, not so much. Maybe I'll just do WV too.

                About 10% complete, just by count. Could be different percent if go by miles.

                hey, there you go, if not good vantage point for picture in a parking spot , just ride up sidewalk to main enterance.

                sounds like good enough reason for going for ride.

                might some of the further counties require an overnight trip??

                  Great idea. Plus, so many great roads in WV. I'm sure you'll have fun completing this challenge.

                    Yes. I've done a teeny bit of planning, and for the northern and eastern panhandles, I'll have to set up a base camp and get the local counties.
