How many States have you ridden your bike in?

Well, according to your rules I guess I will never be able to claim the 50th state. I do plan to get NWT and Nunavut done in the next two years. Semi-Retired since 1999, really retired since 2006. :bikes

Just getting started

I have had my BMW for one year. Prior to that I had only ridden between two states. What a difference the ride makes. Just starting out and I have been to 10 states on the RT. Plans for many more coming up next June. My map so far: :dance

Last summer I forced myself to go to Rhode Island because it was the last of the lower 48. Well at least I'll never have a reason to ever go back to that state lol. May try Alaska in the next 2 years and will rent in Hawaii while my son is in the Navy on the west coast.

I was headed to NW Territories but had to turn around when I lost my front brakes. But IÔÇÖd really like to go to Newfoundland.

But perhaps I should learn how to say more than just ÔÇ£cerveza, por favorÔÇØ and head south.

This level of detail tells one where one has really been, not just some corner of a state...

Sort of like I've seen Newfoundland & Labrador highlighted on a few of these maps...but how many that have, have actually been to Labrador and driven the Trans Labrador Highway?

48 States so far and Labrador via the Trans Labrador Highway before the road connected to Lab city. We had to put the bikes on a train in Sept-Iles Quebec and on loaded at Esker Labrador, the western end of the TLH. The ferry from Goose Bay (The Sir Robert Bond) to Lewisporte Newfoundland. It was a 37 hour ferry trip.
BTW I was riding my 78 R100S

Only 16 states and 2 provinces, but I'm working on it.

I'm always torn. Take a summer trip and head up through the cool (temp wise) mountains of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah with lots of twisties. Or go somewhere new (at least on the bike) like lower Alabama where the temps and humidity regularly exceed values known to sustain human life (I was stationed at Fort Rucker a long time ago. I do know what it's like). For me, the mountain West always seems to win out.
 
My visit to Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee (go Lady Vols!) was a fly and ride.

It's fun to see all the places I've been on the bike on a map!:D

I'm missing MI, WI, MN and AK in the USA. In Canada, I've only ridden in NB and NS. In Mexico, I've ridden in CHIH, SON, SIN, DGO, ZAC, COAH, NL, SLP, JAL, GTO, HGO, MEX and DF. In Europe, I've ridden in Ireland, UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Leichtenstein, Spain, Portugal and Andorra.
 
No Alaska or Hawaii on a bike, but everywhere else. All 48 many times over, for most of the states. Did the Canada coast to coast in '06 on the way to Vermont Rally and this was very good for the senses:). Canada is very nice and much less populated, for the most part. Of course their insects make up the difference, as I like camping and the flies and mosquitoes rule in late afternoons. We have this in our lower 48 as well, so no blemish on Canada. Well traveled Beemers under this rider. Randy13233:usa I would have gladly added the Maple Leaf here, alongside my cherished Old Glory, but its not in the add on files! It should be added!....Make note, somebody at web central:)Thx.

:ca :ca :ca :ca 'Colon'ca
 
we plan on filling in several of the NE ones later this year...and the West coast in a few months. We have the lower mid provinces ...also filling some of the rest those in late summer after the rally.
Makes me think about how quick this happened for us:doh

You should be able to ride all the way from Baie Comeau to Blanc Sablon now to catch the 1 hour ferry to St. Barbe in Newfoundland.

I say "should" because they supposedly finished the section between Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Cartwright. I took the Sir Robert Bond for that 13 hour crossing back in 2003.

Here is the sign I passed in 2003; I saw no activity.
