    Default question about the States Visited Map

    This is a question I haven't seen posted on here bfore...can I add a state to the Staes Visited Map if the Spyder is in our toyhauler and I sit on it while Erags is driving? (I could get more states than him that way)! Or does the engine need to be ON to count?

    I don't think anyone has posted any specific rules and regulations. Post what you feel fairly represents your travels. I have a problem with "dipping". Put your foot in a state and say you have traveled the state--without going any further than the border line. I also don't think that "fly overs" should count.

    I spend a lot of time in the state of 'confused.' But couldn't find it on the map.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice ... in practice, however, that's just a theory.

    Oops. Mine is obviously not just the Spyder, but other motorcycles as well. Am I not complying properly?
    For the Spyder only, I would not have too many....yet.

    On my map, I have only included states I've been riding the Spyder on, still need to update for Oregon. I would only count "dips" if there was a destination involved (restaurant/hotel/landmark), or it was part of your planned route (hitting the corner). and as for travelling by other means, I don't caount flyovers, but I do count layovers.
    RS - 55K+ miles, F3 - 200 miles and counting.

    I figured I could leave the helmet off and have it count if the particular state we were "riding" in had no helmet law!
    I also figured Erags "busted" me (as in seeing my post) when he asked if I was going into the garage when we crossed over the OK/Arkansas state line!

    Precisely like that guy, Firefly ...of course, to get the wind in my face like that--with our Spyder being inside our motorhome--I'd have to have Erags turn the fan on while we were going down the highway. Now I just need to find my Springsteen CD and I can shoot my own video!

    That video reminded me of an old friend that was born blind. When he was growing up his friends would let him drive their go card down the street. They would run along side of him telling him to turn right/left. Every once in a while they would make him drive the go cart into a bush.
