Riding the Mountains of West Virginia | 2019 Wild & Wonderful Weekend | Day 1

[@2WR]

Yes, we WILL be doing at least one WWW trip in 2020.

[@Jimbo4575]

Great video but no way a video can show the incredible riding and hospitality. Only word of caution for people who do future Wild and Wonderful trips is be prepared for sore cheeks from all the smiling and laughing. Thank you Mario and family

[@2WR]

Thanks Jim! It was a pleasure to host you for the weekend!

[@toddv9210]

WV is a beautiful state and has the best Interstate I've ever ridden, I75 into Charleston. A new vista around every corner! Probably didn't hurt that I rode it on a 1299...

[@2WR]

Slight correction, I79 but close enough. Won't disagree with you on any of the rest :)

[@toddv9210]

@@2WR You're right! Thanks

Theres a pretty cool roadkill festival in marlington that I stumbled into last trip I took.

[@rayrokni]

another fun ride i did a few years back on my goldwing. nice video, thx

[@brianbrian9981]

Just over the PA line above Morgantown, I've been all over those roads with my daughter, great memories. Hopefully an August trip post summer softball season. great video.

[@sar1372]

Thanks for putting the time into these video's. They are a bonus to the awesome trip we had. -Steve and Susan

[@2WR]

Thanks guys; glad you could join us, had a great time! Also, big thanks to Steve for the additional footage. He was a big help on the Day 2 video!

[@98durangopack]

Warms my heart that I am from this lovely state and WSS.

[@pierreeversole265]

The first day looked awesome. I knew it would be epic. Beautiful country you live in Mario.... oh and the proverbial "infamous" Pete pie. Lol looking forward to the second day. Safe travels my friend.

[@2WR]

Thanks Pierre! Wish you could have been with us. Think you'll really enjoy the day 2 video.

[@susanMarkle]

We watched this video. Enjoyed it very much. I saw your sister, now I need to see your Dad. You spoke about.

[@2WR]

Thanks Susan. Dad shows up on camera on day 2.

[@twmclean1]

Great riding roads and scenery. I'm going to to plan another ride down that way sometime. Thanks for sharing Mario!!

[@2WR]

Thanks Todd!

[@dandersonjr]

I hate not having a key on my 1290 SAR. Had a problem at a gas station once for a couple minutes then it started and I have a phobia now every time I shut it off to fuel up. Really love West Virginia scenery.

[@2WR]

We've talked about it so many times. Just don't understand it, other than it's technology for the sake of technology.

[@jerryscott9598]

Mario's gots some amazing powers to make water flow backwards!! As an ex-trucker, I too take issue with Big-strappers, (as we call them), dudes that think they can drive wherever they want, cause their bigger, (this includes some big-ass, jacked-up pick-ups many times too). Now, he was making a sweeping right, and attempting to keep his right rear trailer wheels on the road, but at the speed he was traveling, there's very little "trailer cheat" as it sometimes is referred, to need to come over into your lane. Nice video as always, looks like a nice, diverse group of riders. Can we invite Beverly on one of our rides here in Cali???

[@2WR]

Thanks Jerry! I'll see if I can talk Beverly into coming to Cali.

[@ron5184]

Well done Mario. Can't wait to see the rest.!!

[@2WR]

You're gonna enjoy tomorrow's video Ron!

[@trumpisatruepatriot3431]

Riding Virginia mid sept. Or 1st of Ctobee I’m do flippin excited. Enjoyed your video!

[@sunstrafer4167]

I really want to join you guys one year. Please keep it in September - it's the only month I get time off of work on short notice! I ended up riding solo to WV last week of September and had incredible weather the whole week. Love your channel!

[@2WR]

While we may add an additional event in 2020, I'd like to do this one again in September as the weather was perfect.

[@LaughmanAdventures]

The pie at that restaurant is great!

[@2WR]

So good!

[@114jt]

Checking this out from the UK and found myself fighting the urge to let out a massive 'Yee - Haw' at multiple times whilst watching.

[@2WR]

LOL...good. That was my intention.

[@jimweagant8920]

Good video thanks for sharing and looks like some great riding i need to come to West Virginia and do some riding

[@2WR]

Definitely do!

[@kcculp6430]

Gateway Restaurant, just south of Seneca Rocks on Rt 33 / Rt 28 is the best place to dine in the area. Please support this wonderful restaurant!!!

[@2WR]

Was just there again last weekend and take the group there every year....Pete would kill me if I didn't.

[@ericg.18]

I'm hoping to ride up from Texas one day for a WWW trip!! Oh, and I think I saw a Yamaha Road Star in this group which is what I ride!

[@2WR]

You definitely saw a Road Star; we make sure to keep it fun for everyone.

[@triumphrider9796]

Nice ride, haven't made it to Gateway and Spruce Knob myself yet, have to do that part one of these days (with the Daytona, I've only ridden the Bonnie up that way so far). Whose bike did the footage come from that wasn't shot from yours? Oh, the critters you said were ostriches were likely emus instead, very similar but smaller, my younger brother had a few for a while.

[@2WR]

Steven shot some of the additional footage from his Versys. Lots more to come on the second day. And you HAVE to get to Gateway if only for the pie.

[@triumphrider9796]

Indeed! Just didn't know it was there last time I went up that way (essentially following your "Rider" article route) or I'd have gone there for lunch instead of Yokum's. Maybe I can get to ride that way with Colin some time, only done it solo so far.

[@jaypence1911]

You've probably done it, but rt 92 into greenbrier county is pretty good!

[@2WR]

Yep. Great route.

[@jaypence1911]

@@2WR Nice to meet you today!Thanks for the stickers!

[@98durangopack]

Hope to make a trip with you all!

[@2WR]

Love to have you along!

[@robertschegan9582]

I cant' go through Davis without going to Hellbender's

[@mybrain07]

Great Video!

[@2WR]

Thanks Brian!

[@mybrain07]

No problem. It was an awesome trip!

[@dadmode5545]

Is that spruce knob as in dolly sods spruce knob area?

[@2WR]

Well, it's not terribly far away from Dolly Sods but it's the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area.

[@dadmode5545]

2 Wheeled Rider nice. I backpack the wilderness there a lot.

[@toddv9210]

@@dadmode5545 I used to live in MD and have probably covered every trail in Dolly Sods backpacking. Beautiful place and the night sky is pretty darn good out there!

[@dadmode5545]

4:00 always making allowances for those 18 wheel, eco-terrorist building truck bombs and drifting over the center line while avoiding spillage…

[@angelaorsini1557]

Everytime I get near the southern part of the state I start talking like a hillbilly!!

[@2WR]

It happens...
