Anywhere in Southwest Va is a great place to ride. I live on the Crooked Road, a section of route 58 connecting Bristol to Gate City. It’s not unusual to count 500-1000 motorcycles on the weekend. Some roads are used by both bikes and super cars such as the snake in Northeast Tn. You’re just as likely to see Lamborghinis and Ferraris as Harleys and Yamahas. Have fun and stay safe! 😊

I just came home from a 2 week stay in West Virginia. It is a beautiful state full of friendly people. I also love Virginia, have stayed many times in Hungry Mother State Park and driven the Back of the Dragon many times, albeit by car. It can be a fun drive that way also. The first time I drove it was in a heavy fog, terrifying! I am elderly now and live in NE Ohio about 430 miles way from where you started north on route 16 at Hungry Mother. So this brought back a lot of great memories! Thank you. Have a great trip and stay safe.

I live nearby in Bristol on the Virginia/Tennesse border and I do alot of real estate photography and even after growing up in this region I just discovered the backroads around tazewell recently and I LOVE riding up through there. If you ever make it down that way again you should check out Burke's Garden. It's not far from the Back of the Dragon and from the air it looks like a HUGE crater but there's a little community down inside it and everything. It was great to see this area from the perspective of someone not from here too. I think we're so jaded to the surrounding mountains sometimes that we forget how beautiful of an area we live in.

Some very good eateries. I am tickled pink that you spent time in my home state of West Virginia. Bluefield is very far south i but still in West Virginia. Ride careful we only have two(2) trauma hospitals in the state. And you do not want to be there as part of your adventure. Just take your time & have FUN.
