Default State Tracker

I started this last year and it only applies to this motorcycle but I started buying a flag for each state I've ridden through on and put it inside the lid of my tour pack. I'm hoping to add Oklahoma and Kansas this summer



Besides the map in a signature line how do you keep up with the where you've ridden through?

I saw one guy who had a small map of the states and canada etched onto a piece of metal that you would find on a plaque or trophy and he had that mounted on the right side of his roadglide inne fairing.. he then had each state and province he visited etched with the date and year.

looked really cool

I agree with hollow point, definately memories. But the flag is a cool idea! I used to collect the round dealer stickers that they used to put on your oil dipstick from every dealer we stopped at while traveling. But it seems like not all dealers are usung them now.

Cool. Wish I had thought of that a few years ago........... That way I wouldn't keep forgetting where I'd been before I get home.

Same here. If I try to remember where all I was in the 70's, 80's, and even the 90's, it's a strain. But I do remember, I had fun!!!
