How many states do you have

Old Guy on a '08 · October 5th, 2012, 08:04 PM

So, for us distance riders/touring enthusisasts, how many different states have you riden your Ninjette to. Only ninjettes need respond (us snobs are not interested in where you've ridden your other bikes {BMW's, Goldwings etc}to ;

)

I've got three so far

NC
VA
SC
Hope to add these shortly

TN
KY
GA

Hey Alex,
Can we get a map on our info block like I see in some of the other forums.

Yeah, but that is because of the traffic. :-)

Texas is the true big state.

I have visited Colorado, but they are essentially the same.

Still need advice on fun places to stop though

CZroe · October 5th, 2012, 10:48 PM

Within the first day of owning my Ninjette, I took it through West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Believe it or not, it was my first time on a motorcycle outside the MSF course.

Within the first four months, of owning it, I added Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, starting from Georgia.

I did CA, AZ, NM, TX, LA, MS, AL, GA again three years later.

Total: 12 states

arnoldc6 · October 6th, 2012, 03:09 AM

No fair?
Bro tell me about it.

Apex · October 6th, 2012, 04:25 AM

TX counts as two states by itself.

geeker · October 6th, 2012, 04:58 AM

I've been through AR, LA, MS, AL, and FL. The longest day I've had in the saddle is 12 hours for 600 miles. Makes the weekend 200-400 mile rides seem trivial. Although after 6 hours on the bike, I think to myself "I could be half way to Florida now".

psych0hans · October 6th, 2012, 05:00 AM

The max I've ridden in a day is 250ish kms from Delhi to Rudrapur. That's 3 states by itself, as 90% of the route is through a third state.

NinjetteNewfie · October 6th, 2012, 05:39 AM

Well this is the crappy part of living on an island. To drive off of it I can drive an hour and a half and take a 14 hour ferry to the mainland, or drive 10 hours and take the five hour ferry trip. Either way I'm not too fussy about leaving my bike in the hands of Marine Atlantic for them to chain it down during rough seas.

FrugalNinja250 · October 6th, 2012, 07:01 AM

Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi so far. Typical long rides 700-850 mile days across at least three states at a time.

CC Cowboy · October 6th, 2012, 08:36 AM

All but Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconson on a bike. Only Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina on a ninjette 250.

Wow! Tell us about Hawaii, Alaska, etc.

What were you doing in RI? ND?

You can rent Harleys in Hawaii. I rented a Sportster and a Sturgis (that's how long ago it was) in Honolulu. Rode every road on that island.

Alaska you need an on-off rode bike. I have a friend who is from MA. She is a Park Ranger and has been to many of the parks on the west and now lives in Alaska. I rode her b/f bike there.

I lived in RI for 12 years and have ridden about every road in that state.

North Dakota happened to be a missed turn going to Sturgis. I went 200 miles out of my way.

That's for the interest ( and I originally thought you were just being an asshole).

Skipping TN on purpose? Are you statesist?

I drove a friend home to Knoxville a few days later, but it was the cage, of course.

Because I had never ridden a motorcycle before, I didn't want to take my new bike on the Interstate. I calculated the Google Maps route from the dealer at the WV/VA border to home in GA and selected the "avoid highways" option. It actually wanted me to go through TN, but I noticed a particularly twisty mountainous part on the satellite view part and zoomed in: US 129! I instantly recognized that the road also known for "The Dragon" and Deal's Gap so, I just unchecked the option and followed the Interstate route. The mountains of TN weren't exactly the smart alternative for a newbie trying to avoid risk.

vman1313 · October 6th, 2012, 04:55 PM

Ive done 6 states:
GA
SC
NC
TN

Well, it circles lake Michigan. Hitting the three states you've missed: Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin (Illinois and Indiana briefly as well).

Also, nice views of the big lake.

I don't recognize anything on that map. Does that route go through Rhode Island or something?
