England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Mexico, and Canada.  I've travelled somewhat in my own country too (Dad was in the Air Force), but I've never been to much of the Midwest (Ohio, Kansas, etc.).  I've spent the most time in Mexico as a study abroad student while in college.


I would like to go to Norway, Denmark, Thailand, and New Zealand some day.

Uh, this being in General Discussion, I assumed you meant "traveling on the GS" so I put "neighboring states".

On my GS, neighboring states. 

For my own personal self, most of the US, a bit of Canada, England several times and Scotland once for 3 weeks. 
Other than that, I am a Texan and am always very happy to come home to my lovely state!!  :thumb:

Thats my photo, I went with my dad and it took us 16 days, went north of texas and then to alaska then down the west coast till LA and then back home right east of dallas.  I was planning on making a slide show or somthing like that but never got around to it.  Trip was awesome, but the busa ran through tires every 1500 to 2000 miles till we got a continental put on the back, that ran all the way from saint george to texas on the way back and then down to the florida keys, and no flat spot and it grips well too.  Going up the james dalton took 13 hours and we averaged 34 mph.  Slept for 4 hours in prudhoe bay and then rode 13 hours back, not stopping except for gas and food.  It was raining and 6 inches of mud all over the road with semi trucks flying by at 60+ on a skinny two lane road.  It was awesome though except being awake for 26 hours and 4 hours of sleep through the freezing rain.  My iguana says thanks, her name is iggy, iggy-wanna, and my dads armadillo is named arny as in arny-dillo.  There were alot of bmw's up there with nobbies that were thinking we were  crazy to ride with street tires through the mud and rain, one guy turned around and walked off when we told him that we think its fun to ride through all that, I guess we were too uncivil to speak to.  We saw them on the way back, halfway up, the next morning, half a day later.   :laugh:  but then again we are crazy and never stopped for anything except gas the whole trip.

Sorry for the mix-up :laugh:  Seriously though, what a great adventure!  :thumb:

p.s.  For anyone who's ever travelled overseas with your bike, how did you do it?  How did you get your bike over there?

I've never been out of state with my GS...  But, all my neighboring states require insurance...  Which I don't have.

I've been to Mexico, Canada, Netherlands, and Greece...  As well as CA, OR, WA, AZ, NV, ID, MI, IL, MT, WY, NE, MO...  But, the last 4 I was a little kid on a road trip.  I had to sit on "the hump" of my dad's firebird the whole way...  My ass has never been the same.

Not many more states I want to visit...  But, lots of other countries.

Does military count?

Hong Kong, Singapore, a couple of places I'm not supposed to tell you, Brisbane, Perth, that major port on the east coast of Austrailia, Tonga.

Lots of travel in the States, but mostly the Eastern half.

England twice, France twice, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Australia, NZ.

Lots of places I'd like to go to, but time and money don't always work out.

Australians are probably the friendliest people I've met, and the French are NOT rude.
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

Hi there,
In addition to some 30 states, I've been to Tijuana, Mexico once and all around Cuba. THAT was an interesting country. Lots of different motorcycles there, and I have photos to share if anyone is ever interested. :)

Been all over the US, Cali, Alaska, Washington, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Colorado, New York, Pa, North and South Carolina.  Those are places I have lived for more than a year.  Been through almost all the states inbetween.

I also lived in Korea, Germany, while in Europe I have traveled to just about every Europan country.  Except for what used to be East Germany and USSR.  Did visit Berlin before  the wall came down.
