I've got nothing against Nebraska but...

[Ivorspyder]

Are you talkiing about Spyder states or just states that you have visited? I've been to Nebraska but not on my Spyder.

I am talking about States visited.I have only been to 7 with the Spyder but many others with the Goldwing.Otherwise States I have been to one way or another.

Welcome to Nebraska !!

now that I have updated my signature map after my big trip it looks like poor Nebraska had the plague or something. I've often looked at other's maps and wondered what they had against certain states. Like how could you have all of the midwest and not go to Wisconsin? Don't you know it is beautiful and has awesome roads? Or the guy from the west with every state except California. What is up with that?

So for now Nebraska will remain a blank on my map but maybe next year I'll get it filled in.

Let me temp you to visit Nebraska, Ann. We live in Burwell, NE, in the "Sandhills" part of Nebraska. Very much unlike the I-80 view of Nebraska which most people relate to, It is truely a beautiful area and the people are wonderfull as well. The last time I stopped along the highway, to make a call, I was constantly "bothered" by pickup trucks stopping to ask if I needed help. I told them "hell no - just leave me alone" LOL.

If you can make the time, please feel free to spend an overnight in Burwell, Nebraska, with us. You won't regret the detour.

I was looking for a way to get to West Virginia on the Spyder last year but it didn't work out. Why don't you hold a Spyder rally next year and I'll be there for sure!

West Virginia is beautiful....there is not a straight road in the whole state

it would be nice if you could fill in SOUTH CAROLINA too....
COME ON DOWN.....

I may just be able to fill in a bunch of those states this summer. We have made reservations for the Owners Event and we will try like crazy to get there. We will take the southern route and knock out all of those states. I've been to all of those in a car but not on the Spyder.

And CurrantSpyder thanks for the invite. I may take you up on it sometime. Like I said in my original post I don't have anything against Nebraska it just hasn't worked out for me to ride there. I do agree though that when I think of Nebraska I think of the I80 route and that isn't very appealing to me.

We should get most of the northwest states knocked out in July which is very exciting for me. I hope to see you all on the road someday.

I just noticed your new Avatar. :roflblack: Your new Spyder will be here soon!

What do You have agents visiting Gods chosen state? Oregon is amazing, but then I might be a little predigest Really is some beautiful country here though.
You can go from desert to mountains (not hills) to the ocean in one day, but take your time

You could always do the Magoog rally in Canada this year and knock off Rhode Island, New Hampshire and the one state no one can spell...

I probably won't make it to Oregon this year and that is one state that I have never been to at all. Maybe next year.

Harry, the missing northeast states aren't going to happen anytime soon either. And I know how to spell Maine! :roflblack: (and Massachusetts)

 

[Arr MiHardies]

I'll be taking I-40 all the way from Vegas to Maggie Valley on the way there, then the more northerly route through colorado on the way back. Don't have enough time for any more scenic routes... though 2000 miles one way... I think I'll be seeing plenty. Looking at 4100+ miles and 11+ states in 10 days.

Nebraska

Ann,

I did a fair amount of my teen years and later living in Nebraska, and still have family there. It really is a beautiful state - you just have to do some traveling to see a lot of the hidden spots. The Sandhills, the Niobrara River, the Sandhills Cranes on the Platte River...the World's Largest Porch Swing....(go look it up - both my brother & family & my folks live within a block!)
As for some of your trips this year - if you get close to Kansas City on your way, stop by! With some advanced notice, I'll fire up the smoker and have some home BBQ going! Also have a spare room if you need one!

Pete we go to KC every year with my husbands group of VRod owners. The event is held the weekend after Labor Day and we stay at Basswood Resort in Platte City. You are invited to the Saturday night BBQ.
