Thanks!

A black cruiser style motorcycle viewed from the rear, parked in front of a West Virginia state welcome sign.
"Welcome to West Virginia - Open for Business"
Another oldie from Nov 2007. I've ridden WV many times over the last 20 years, but this is the only picture of a WV sign I could find. My phone camera was crap back then too.🤷♂️

A purple crocus growing amid the dry brown leaves of winter. Next to it is a spring of green pine needles. Spring is on its way.
Took the dog for a walk and saw my first sign of spring today. Bring it on!

A gray and yellow motorcycle parked in front of an old garage that has been repurposed as a post office. Above the doors is a prominent sign reading "EST 1930." In the background is a red roofed crab shack.

A motorcycle, viewed from the front, parked on the grassy shoulder of the Blue Ridge Parkway next to a wooden sign reading "Parkway Enters Virginia." The sign is painted gray with a blue outline of the state of Virginia. There is a white line painted on the road to mark the border with North Carolina.

Shot in portrait orientation, a slightly elevated view of a sandy beach on a warm sunny day. Beachgoers are scattered about, setting up gear and wading in the blue-green water. A small island appears near the horizon, under a pale blue and cloudless sky. The image is framed on the left and right by large pine trees.

A black cruiser style motorcycle parked on a grassy rural road shoulder next to a sign reading "Welcome to Vermont - The Green Mountain State." Beyond the road, under a blue sky full of puffy clouds, is a low ridge with trees just beginning to change color and a farm field with a few outbuildings. Several black power lines run across the middle of the shot.

As the sun sets to the left, shadows are cast on the eroding tan hills of Badlands NP. Above is a cloudless blue sky, and in the foreground tall grasses also catch the golden light.

Protesters walking toward the Washington Monument carry signs reading "We are each other's best hope" and "Fuck Donald Trump."

The Utah BDR must be amazing! Wish I didn't live 2000 miles away. I need to check out the Mid-Atlantic BDR, but it's just not the same as a desert route. 👍

A motorcycle parked at an overlook on Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia.
Looking good! I recently got the same side cases, and so far I really like them. Nice ride, btw!
04.02.2026 15:51 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I love Itchy Boots too (+ Doodle, Magpie, etc.) I don't have a YT channel. I do have hours of riding videos that I made so I can reminisce in the old folks home, but I don't have the skills or wherewithal to turn them into YT ready products. Maybe someday I'll throw some raw clips up just for fun? 🤷

Some of those storms out there can really get rough!
I hit 8 national parks/monuments on that trip, but decided to leave the 'Mighty 5' Utah parks for another trip. I ran out of time and didn't want to rush through them. Still looking forward to going back.
Nice! Looking forward to getting back there sometime!

A black motorcycle parked on a tan sandy road shoulder, in front of a sign reading "Welcome to Utah - Life Elevated." The sandstone buttes of Monument Valley are visible in the distance through a light dust storm.

A half-eaten pasty from Muldoon's, Munising, Michigan.
Hey, I found one like that in Michigan's Upper Peninsula! It has carrots and potatoes inside.
