Objective: Let other Buellers know what states you've ridden in.

Rules: Attach a picture of a U.S. map with the states you've ridden in colored in (you can also shade other states grey that you've been to, but not on a bike... flying over a state in an airplane doesn't count).

For our international riders, feel free to use a map of Europe, South America, Australia, etc to do the same.

You can add notes to include other countries you may have ridden in.

Include in your post your home state, age and how long you've been riding street bikes, as well as a state and/or country count.

HAVE AT IT!

EDIT: This is a GREAT on-the-fly utility for doing this, and you can link to the picture when you're done http://monarch.tamu.edu/~maps2/us.htm

If anyone has a link to a site that helps people make the map, it would help people that don't have one yet. I want to see Jerry's and Courts maps.

Does it have to be on a Buell, or does any motorcycle count?
