How many states/countries has your bike touched lets see
Mine has been to Ohio(duh) PA New York and crossed the border into Canada soon to be expanded

HEY, you friggin' BUCKEYE! You KNOW of course that certain states of this vast Union, such as CALIFORNIA and TEXAS, are pretty freakin' BIG, don't cha???!!!

So WHAT'S your POINT???!!!

Okay! So my BA has never been out of the Golden State! So SHOOT ME!!!

(that's ONLY a figure o' speech BTW, PEOPLE!!!)

One state Dwight??? jeeeez do you trailer it too ???

28 states, DC and 4 Canadian provinces:
AL, AR, AZ, CT, GA, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, WI, WV;
DC;
NS, NB, PEI, QB

Of course living in the east makes it easy.

Dwight, you going Alzheimer's on us? I've got proof your bike has been beyond California. This was taken at Kirkland Junction in Arizona. Don't you remember? You and my wife were singing along with Johnny Horton on the juke box.

Only two states... NSW and QLD so far and hopefully VIC at the end of this year. However our states're a little bigger than yours. Texas has 261,797 square miles and 23.5 million people, while our largest state has 1,021,478 square miles but only 2 million people. Getting around here provides unique challenges.

Four: NJ, NY, PA & DE.

All of new england (VT, NH, ME, MA, RI, CT) but only 4 on one day . Plus NY, NJ, and PA. I think that's it...

(oh geez...I guess here is where it all comes out, huh?)

Okay! When I retire next month from my "exciting airline career", I plan on throwin' the BA into the back of my Silverado now and then and drive said truck back and forth between Prescott and L.A. whenever...whenever....HEY! I just remembered(retirees sometimes start forgettin' stuff ya know, I guess I'm just gettin' a head start on this forgettin' stuff....because.....) I HAVE already done had the BA in Arizona already!(as Derek and Becky can attest to)

But I have to admit that I DID truck it there.(oh, the shame of it all)

But gimme a break! Do you have ANY idea how friggin' desolate and boooooring the desert is between Palm Springs and just before you start to raise over the mountains where Prescott AZ is situated???

YOU ride that stretch of Interstate, and THEN we'll talk, ol' buddy!!!

No fear id never make fun of the bike in the back of a truck Alice ooops I mean Dwight

What....you mean crossing that beautiful Colorado river from Blythe isn't scenic enough?

And you did have 2 bikes in the back of that pickup truck, so it isn't like you could have rode both of them at the same time from LA to Prescott.

And why are you even thinking about throwing the bike into the back of the Silverado? Or have you forgotten that trailer you bought from the guy across the street in Prescott? Geez, that Alzheimer's is worse than I thought.

Here, let me refresh your memory again!

Lets see.. Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina. Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland.. I think, Pennsylvania and New York.

So far, only 3....MA, CT and RI, but I'm just breaking my girl in!!

We'll have to fix that this year

Thanks to your picture here Derek, it's all comin' back to me now!

(good thing I had that physical done this week...only problem is that the doctor only seemed to be interested in slappin' on that latex glove to check me out ...Now, I'm thinkin' she should'a been concentrating on the other end INSTEAD!!!)

Sigh... only Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Hopefully to add California and Utah to that list this year.

Soren

Only one... the state of Exhilaration.

(psst...hey derek....i'm the one designated around here who's supposed to razz people...what cha tryin' to do here?...take my job away from me, and throw it back in my face?)

Well it's a thankless job, but somebody has to keep you in line. I better not get too good at it though, otherwise you might take away my Prescott visitation privileges , and I don't want that to happen...ol buddy ol pal.

Btw, I've got a plan for putting that trailer to good use. More details to come.

Over the years I've ridden in every state east of the Mississippi, except Main, on different bikes at different times includeing a 900 Honda with a sidecar.Back then it was about the trip,now it's more about the destination.

NJ,NY,PA,MD,WVA,VA,NC,SC,GA. that's on my BA I traveled all of the New England states on a 68 Bonneville and a 71 CB 750.

Isn't it warm enough to go riding yet in your part of the world? You have entirely too much time on your hands...

Well John we just got back from a 7 hour ride today when I thought of this thread

I am not sure but every one between PA and NH as well as NJ. My 66 under its own power has been in more than half for sure. PA to Wyoming , then PA to Sturgis , PA to Niagra , PA to Madi Gras , PA to Laconia , PA to Daytona , PA to Myrtle beach sure I am forgetting some plus my normal just riding around.

CT, NY, Mass, and New Hampsha.
Soon to add NC, TN, and GA.
I'm skip'n the in between states
'cause of the trailer.

Go ahead and get the busting over with now. I can take it.
The trailer's gonna get us down south in a timely, and
weatherproof manner. Ready to ride some cool roads, and not
just beating ourselves up on the slab to get there.

I'm gonna be 50 in two weeks, and I can't wait for GA!
Uncle Charlie

Yeah Chy, we were in MD for about a minute on our way up to Pat's (we went through the thinnest part).

I've done 12 states so far and we crossed into Canada at Niagra for a short time during the my first NorEast rally (DE, MD, VA, SC, GA, NC, TN, PA, NY, Ont., FL, WV, OH).

duh. i guess i was supposed to answer the question: CT, MA, NH, RI, PA, NY, NJ + time spent chicken strippin' on the Speedmaster in GA last May.

Four. Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona.
Our states out here in the west are a mite bigger than those li'l things back east.
Hell, we've got counties bigger than most eastern states .

Tennessee, obviously,

North Carolina, South Carolina (I think), Alabama and Georgie.

But i have also ridden in England and Wales...does that count towards anything. Driven in France to.

My uncle lived in Wales I never had the pleasure but he told me some great riding over there. And great scenery too.
