Nashville-TN. Hey VRM. Likewise bought a used Goldwing 6 months ago. 2002 Illusion Blue. Changes from blue to purple in front of my eyes. 80,000 miles. A motorcycle rider since a kid wanted to try a different type of ride in my older years. Drove to Miami to trailer back home. Bike appeared was in excellent condition and for the most part was/is. However once home & began to drill down on bike it needed some serious TLC. I'm mechanically inclined yet fortunately a neighbor is retired Honda Goldwing mechanic. He worked his magic & bike is really dialed in now. Cost me some schillings yet worth it. Headlight to taillight. Yes, the air filter as I believe a 4 hour gig. Geez! The new Shinko rear tire had a huge bubble on the bead & replaced. Bought bike to cruise back to Kalifornia where I escaped 3 years ago. Now planned for 2025. Looking at a 6,000 mile trip want the bike to be solid. I've ridden the bike probably 500 miles since bought & is a blast to ride. Huge & heavy bike yet should be fun on my west coast solo trip. Cheers!

The Air Filter on the earlier GL1200 can be replaced in less than 2 Minutes without the need for Tools.

Wagner "Flight of the Valkyries" LOL. You are very correct that the "big" touring bikes are not what they used to be. Folks are really underestimating them as "sport touring" bikes today. I bought my last bike, before I have to go tryke, last year a 2024 Road Glide with a 117ci engine. Boy does it go and handle the turns! I can say that with some authority as I grew up in southern WV and love to run the turns.

You're absolutely right! The roads are beautiful and scenic and can get lost out there. My wife and I spent about 3 days and stayed in Elkins. Visited Blackwater Falls State Park Seneca Ro KS and the Canaan Valley. We rode 250, 92, and 219 back. We loved riding the mountains around and through Monterey and the valleys were some soght. We'll definitely be back next year!

Delighted to find this site. I live in Shenandoah County just north of the area in this video. Back on a bike after 10 years away, ride into WV a lot, nice roads, little traffic.

I always thought it was from the crowning in the road but also left turns do kinda make sense also

Hey thanks! Heading to Cass in September and I was looking for info on this lodge.

Nice vid, Ya sling that big wing around really nicely with perfect lane placement too, really great to watch. Your audio is well set up and makes for a good listen. Our roads down under in Aotearoa-New Zealand are full of the tight twisty stuff and usual nasties associated, trail braking is an absolute must. My wing has numerous road grazes down the under belly tray, exhaust tips, stand and worn off the peg sliders (chewed through two sets now), but ya can't beat throwing these big rigs through the tight stuff as is very rewarding and always makes for silly big grins. Shiny side up man, keep up the awesome video's, have subscribed. Cheers Anaru.

You just helped me plan a cycling route! Thank you!

A great ride .... awesome views and lots of curves! Just subscribed.

The restaurant is open

Lay in the pool 😂

You should have filmed the ride when we rode that road earlier this year.

Go to the hardware store

Always look forward to your videos, even when you completely lose the plot. KJ.

The view from Raven’s Roost overlook is amazing

Well Done Mark! I've ridden that road and you've made me realize how much I miss riding in Virginia.

Very nice

Cool man. Love all things Highland Grandparents had the mountain house in Monterey growin up. Magical

Makes me want to stop my chores and head over there right now! Looks like I need to create a route in Rever to connect some of these roads you show us for a full day of riding!

Another must ride road!

I was going to ask if you would like to ride these roads. But you beat me to it.

The list of must ride roads over your way just keeps growing. I'll have to watch all of the videos again and them compile a route to hit them all when I am over that side of the hill next time. Thanks for showing yet another gem!

Need to ride Reed’s creek road all the way though if you make a right it will take you to Upper Tract.

That’s my kinda ride right there dude! I totally agree that riding it the other way would be more fun but you’d miss out on the extravagant views…gonna keep this one in the pocket for later for sure!!

Beautiful ride! Dean's Den sounds like a great destination as well as the observatory....road trip! Great job Marc :)

Ice Cream!!! You know I will try it out. A group of guys in Charlottesville I ride with are looking for places over there to ride. Thanks to you I’ll have many “Gems” to Share with them.

Is it possible to turn up the volume.

What an awesome ride! Beautiful views & lots of great riding.... Well done!

I have got to get out there soon and hit the roads! Yes, that view to the left is smack dab beautiful.

That is neat about the water shed!

I have rode that route many time bike, cage and used it to travel it for many years going to work.

For 30 years working at the dam I would travel that route to have a different scenery.

Got up early today and I rode with a group from Richmond to Williamsburg on the Nickle and Dine (route 5 and route 10). Ate lunch at Jamestown and back home by route 10. Then highway back to the house as rain was closing in on me. Never got wet. About 300 miles total. I need to get over to your neck of the woods and out of the flat-Lands real soon. Ride Safe!

Thanks for the ride along Marc! Looking forward to riding with you, Rose and Hank this summer! Some place, somewhere.

👍

It is can hear you just fine.

Thanks Marc for showing us a new route! I am looking forward to experiencing this route in person.
