Road Spotlight: WV 16 | The BACK of the DRAGON (Sophia - Tazewell)

In this Road Spotlight I ride the awesome WV 16, commonly known as the Back of the Dragon. This is the northern section of the Back of the Dragon, from Sophia WV down to Tazewell VA.

WV 16 is an EXCELLENT West Virginia motorcycle road, and one of my favorite motorcycle roads to ride on the East coast of the US. In fact I prefer this road over the more popular (and famous) Tail of the Dragon, TN 129, down in Tennessee.

I've split this Road Spotlight into two parts. This motovlog is Part 1, the northern section of the Back of the Dragon, and Part 2 next week will be the southern section from Tazewell VA down to Marion VA (this is the BEST part of the Back of the Dragon!).

ABOUT ME:
My name is Mengy and this is my motovlog channel, Moto Mengy. I plan to upload a Goldwing motovlog every Sunday. I ride a 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour but I rode Harley Davidson's for 25+ years before. I'm motovlogging with a GoPro Hero 8 Black mounted to a Bell Mag 9 open face helmet, no external mic! To me riding is wind therapy.

My goal for the channel is to motovlog Pennsylvania country roads while also motovlog exploring around America. I'll also talk about biker topics and such, probably test ride a few other motorcycles, and will definitely get lost and accidentally wind up on unpaved roads along the way.
