Default My Personal Ride Challenge...

So this guy on Facebook started a series called "On the Road in West Virginia-Our 55 Counties" where he does a quick 5 min video showing sights from around the county give a brief history of the area as well.
Well, that got me thinking that I've never actually visited all 55 counties in my state, so I thought what better way to see them than on my Harley.
The one rule is that I have to get a pic with my bike in front of the county courthouse.
So far I've only 8 pics but I'm in no hurry.
It's a great way to see all of my wonderful state.
Here's my progress so far.

That’s a good way to get out and see the whole state with lots of great scenery. Good luck on riding them all!

Great idea, up here in Wisconsin, they have 120 roads marked as Rustic Roads. Rustic roads have some of the nice twisty curves or great scenic views. The state has got a program for motorcycle drivers to participate in. You take a picture of your bike sitting next to the Rustic Road sign (there each numbered) and send in ten and you get a Rustic Road patch … send in 25 of them and you get a certificate. Kinda cool!!! A friend of mine that lives in Milwaukee area has did all 120. Click here if your from Wisconsin and want more information. Timm

I like old courthouses, a lot; I may do the 88 we have here in Ohio. One of the weirdest ones I've ever seen is in Greenfield, Indiana. There's a tree growing out of the roof.
