Alegany, my Super Tenere, toolin’ along a backway up through a gap. The mountain road undoubtedly follows a buffalo trail of old; one of those adventurous places that if you went over, likely no one would find you for weeks. Get yer bluegrass on for the sound.

Great vid and music. The dobro kicks butt, he's been called the Jimi Hendrix of the dobro.

Yes it would, I have CD's laying around of both those guys just couldn't remember thier names. I bought a dobro a few years back and learned to pick a few songs on it. Probably sounded like two cats mating, turns out that drummers don't necessarily make good dobro players...

Truth is my Versys had not left the stable since the Tenere came in and I had to get it out to stretch its legs a little before winter set in...or all of those other vids would have been from the seat of my Tenere.

And those roads are my kinda pavement too! Perhaps someday we'll travel such a track together. ::003::

Sounds like an excellent idea. I get down your way two or three times a year. Looks like you know many roads I have not tried. Love to have you show me some of your secret passages.

Will you be going up to Romney next spring when they do their Adventure event? No date set yet, but they want to do something to include doing an overnight (tents) back at the dealership. Trevor has been talking to Nick Sanders about possibly being there for the event. Still in the thinking phase now, but Larry and Terry appear very interested in doing it.

Romney depends on the date next spring. I am a spring gobbler finatic and not too many things get between me and chasing birds. Otherwise, I'll surely be there.

We will definitely ride in south almost heaven someday...we could even make it a camping get-together if others are interested.

Thanks for the relaxing ride and music.

Gotta get the GoPro mounted to share some of the similar rides around here.

Looking forward to seeing what you are riding. I've never been to that part of the planet.

Nice video! Thanks for posting. Don't have any 'gaps' to enjoy down here in south Florida, so always nice to watch.

Come spring, turn north out of your driveway...WV's not crowded. We let Fla. riders in. ;)

Flip Cam velcroed to my left chest pocket...cheap but sufficient.
I was wondering since I was seeing movement, but nothing resembling head movement...good idea. 8)
