We ride locally pretty frequently, but this is an easy reference for our longer adventures. We’re covering more and more ground, and its fun to see at a glance all the places we’ve ridden. I wish I’d started earlier, but since I’ve started blogging our trips, its like having my own biography/photo documentary. Having a journal helps me to remember the adventure, and I imagine that years from now I’ll really enjoy looking back on these experiences.
As of 2022, we’ve ridden our motorcycles in 48 US States and 10 Canadian Provinces/Territories.
I didn’t set out to “check the boxes” and ride in all 50 states, but after over a decade of meandering around on my motorcycle, I ended up riding to 45 states or so (and 7 Canadian Provinces) anyway. Now that I am so close, how could I not? Let the pointless box checking commence; as of 2022, watch out Arizona and Hawaii, me and a motorcycle are coming for you.
Ride Reports (Multi-Day Moto Trips):
As time goes on, I tend to only blog the larger moto trips. In recent years, a long weekend ride in our local region might not get a blog post at all. However, if I took an overnight moto trip, and posted something about it, I try to include it in this list.
