WV does have some nice scenery. Excellent back road riding and usually you only pass a handful of cars. :thumbup:

"fun riding roads" was not on the list of data and it should have been first.

Last year I didn't notice, but this time I scrolled down and found this:

Someone who doesn't appreciate twisties wrote:
Progressive looked at the following data to determine its list of best states to ride:

* number of good riding days (based on temperature and precipitation);
* likelihood of getting into a motorcycle crash;
* percentage of smoother riding roadways;
* population density; and
* average price for a gallon of regular gasoline

I live in Florida, its very dangerous on the roads here, always someone getting killed (vs car) everyday in the paper. I have paticular roads i usually ride that have low traffic and low cops.
