Riding territory

Maybe an off topic for an F3 specific page but I'm curious where have the members toured. I consider my states visited as riding at least a few hundred miles of BACK roads (not highway!). I have ridden through many states on my way to tour other states but since I was on the highway I have excluded those states. As-such... I have been to Florida but excluded that state and the "go-thru" states because I was only on the highway. When I arrived in Florida I realized I ran out of vacation time and left immediately so I still need to go back to Florida.

Travelled by motorcycle ONLY starting from Saskatchewan Canada. Most Canadian provinces, a large number of US states from Alaska to Florida,
Mexico, all countries in Central America, all countries in South America except Bolivia. This was on a 1968 R69S BMW before the Spyder was around.
It would be fun on a Spyder but being 80 next year I doubt it will happen.

I am happy to have ridden to Alaska with you! My states visited map shows where I've ridden my Spyder and I've ridden to all of those states more than once. I should knock out several of the east coast states and a few more Canadian Provinces on our trip to Valcourt.

I think of all the lower 48 states, Alaska and some Canadian provinces my riding territory. I just haven't gotten to all of them yet.

I'm not such a stickler about which states I count, though. If my Spyder wheels cross the state line, it goes on my map! I hope to add some northeastern states and provinces when I go to the Homecoming this summer.

Back-roads and highways in 48 States

I've ridden back-roads and highways in 48 states and ridden "to" all of them - no trailers [except Hawaii, for obvious reasons, :roflblack:]
Only Rhode Island and Alaska have eluded me. Rhode Island I'll pick-up on the way to or from Spyder Reunion. Alaska is in the planning stages, can't wait!! Then I plan on working on Canada!! RYDE ON!:clap::thumbup:

I know that it's pretty unimpressive... But I'm still working a full-time job, and don't really get any official time off... EVER!! :banghead:

There is a lot of nice scenery and things to do on the regular highways. I think you may be missing some good stuff. :yes:

Disagreeing here:yikes:. Highways are nuttin but "beeming" from one area to another. Little to see, little to do. Side roads, bi-ways and those out of the way eateries are where I find my salvation. My thoughts.

Impressive to say the least. I would love to get on my bike and do the five corners...Bangor Main to Key West to San Diego to Seattle Washington to Denali NP and then home. Its on my Bucket List. Did everyone stay at a hotel or camped? That question for my trip needs to be answered.

Both along with sleeping under a bridge,in a culvert and on picnic tables. Since my 2 wheeler took up little space I have also shared my camp space with motorhomes, trailers and camper trucks in crowded camgrounds.

I also count any place I ran a wheel thru as having visited. Some are long detailed visits ,some are short glances,but I was there so it gets counted.
