How many U.S. States have you visited on your Valkyrie? I posted a map so you can count if needed... I have 20 States in 2 years... looks like probably 8-12 more this summer...  |

How do I vote for 3 times in each one on the Valkyrie?
Only 1 I missed with the Valk was Hawaii, and it has only been to Alaska twice, all the rest of the states, 3 times, each time with a different one of my kids.
The other 2 kids, went with me on a Gold Wing, and or a Yamaha Venture to all the states, except for Alaska & of course Hawaii.... Each kid, has a picture of them, and the bike at each state capital. Some the capitals set back in the distance as you can't get too close to them, security reasons I guess.
Youngest daughter got her Hawaii picture with me on a rented Harley in 2003.

Other than Indiana, I can count only a detour over the Markland dam to ride in Kentucky, a trip to Cincinnati to see the Reds, and a visit to my daughter in Roscoe for a ride in Illinois. That said, maybe one of the coolest rides I have made was traveling into Chicago from the west and watching the sun rise over the downtown buildings.  |

I have missed 8, some by pure stupidity. Was within 20 moile of North Dakota while at Sturgis in 1999, and did not ride over. Missed Washington state too. Guess I need to ride West before I die. Maybe head North to Alaska. I am getting olde and more fragile.  |

I just bought the Valk in April of last year but I rode her in 12 states last season. Hope to add to that soon.

We have ridden Texas. We were not aware that there are any other States, at least in the known world.  We trudge on. |

9 states...pretty much everything from PA to FL plus OH. When I went to Dayton, OH, I was within a half hour or so of IN and KY and thought about "touching" them just to say I had ridden there. But it was pouring down rain and I had a 4+ hour ride home to PA. So I didn't go farther to pick up those states.
By the way...what is the link to the map to color in like vanogon and fudgie posted??

Sadly we have only ridden in 2 states. Florida {obviously} & Georgia. We came real close to going into Alabama while at Panama City Beach last year but we turned back for the coast. Work is the biggest restraint on any long trips for us. We were going to ride to South & North Carolina {& possibly Tennessee} this year but with a graduating high school senior who is heading to college in the fall, long bike trips are on hold. :'( We are very happy that we as Floridians have a great year 'round bikers paradise right at the end of our driveway!   |

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
