On Sunday June 12, 2022, Tyler and I went for a ride in West Virginia. Tyler was on his 2009 KTM 990 ADV while I was on my 2021 KTM 890 ADV R. After I couldn't get the GPS to bring up the track we had planned to ride, we stopped for lunch in Davis, WV before heading to Thomas, WV to explore a forest road which proved to be a helluva lot of fun!

The washed out road looks like the one on the north side of Blackwater Canyon between Coketon and the Olsen tower. I've been across that on a 1982 Sportster in drier conditions. It was washed out then too but not as bad.

I like that you don't play Billy Badass on the two track. I ride like that because it's better to ride out than to be carried out. Great video.

Thanks Ken and I agree with you. I'd much rather get through areas like that in one piece and it take a few minutes longer than end up in the hospital.

Your statement “She definitely Rocky” I’m in Indiana but love WV riding. Lots of Rocky in WV. Yep cool overlook. Get Matt coordinates on the falls and go back and find them. Long way up fire tower.

Fun Video! Amazing how much that countryside looks like my home region in Austria hehe. If you could at your leisure make a video about how you set up the suspension on the 890R that would be awesome.
@2WR
@2WR 2 года назад
Good idea on the suspension setup video. I was fortunate enough to ride in Austria back in 2019, tho all pavement.

Great video, Awesome roads up there for sure. I almost hit a black bear one time in the rough road between Thomas and Parsons (public road 18). Next time you should add in public road 10 from Canaan Valley to black water falls to add a little extra spice to the ride (I am sure you have ridden it before being a fellow WV rider!). Keep up the good work 😎👍
@2WR
@2WR 2 года назад
When we got off the bikes to assess the road being out, we saw bear tracks which made us hurry our line selection.

That's a good question. That road is easily passable in a passenger vehicle but I don't know if they decided to park there or just got stuck.

Hey Pete, what's the point of an ADV bike if you don't want to get it muddy? Loved that "straightest road in WV" bit (Canaan Valley?) Went through some of that area a couple weeks ago on my way home from the Gorge, detoured up to Yokum's for lunch and then back down 33 into VA. One close call on a downhill left, caught a piece of a tar snake and front squirmed a moment, made that turn with what looked like less than a foot of pavement before the edge, and of course no shoulder at all. Excitement like that I don't need! Great ride otherwise though.

Always jealous of the roads you have right out your door. Hopefully someday before I get to OLD, I get better at off road riding so I can ride cool shit like that. However I have in the plans a smaller ADV bike that is easier to pick up after i drop it. 😁
@2WR
@2WR 2 года назад
The lighter bike does make it easier to handle off-road.

Hellbender was worth the stop. I don't have the GPX files on this one at the moment. Once I fine tune the route a bit, I'll make them available.
