"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 black motorcycle, parked beside a straight rural two-lane road on a misty overcast morning. In the background is a sign reading "Welcome to Oklahoma." This was during a six week, 10,000 mile trip, which helps explain the overloaded bike.
"Welcome to Oklahoma"
Accidentally jumped from OH to PA last week, skipping OK and OR. I've been to Oregon, but not on a bike, so no pic. Here's a misty morning in Oklahoma, though.

A black motorcycle, loaded for a road trip, parked near a sign reading "Welcome to North Dakota - Be Legendary." The background is a vast field of green and gold with large round hay bales scattered into the distance and a cloudless blue sky above. The tiny scale of the bike and sign in the expansive landscape captures a bit of the sense of insignificance one feels riding through these regions.

Forgot to post #SignsonSunday, then discovered I don't have any good #statesigns pics for my home state. Seems coming home hasn't felt like a photo worthy event. Anyway, here's the best I have; an oldie with a former bike.
