Maybe I'll be able to add "Skoolie Trips" to this, in future years:

You came really close to outlining Texas, but those other states are going to need a little revision.

I outlined Texas on a ride called the RAT (Ride Around Texas)

It was 3300 miles and took me 67 hours.

I also completed a 1540-mile Ride Around Kansas without entering Kansas. That took 23 hours.
 
After connecting all the dots I can clearly see Texas. Also a whale with FL as it's tail. There is also a thumbs up on top. And there seem to be a few amorphous shapes just to throw us off.

I bought a used state police bike, a Honda ST1100, which is a good bike. It's been funny to chase other motorcycles with a has-been state police bike. That seat has got to be a major reason why they got rid of these hondas.

The trip into Canada (Winnipeg) and down to Key West was completed in 6 days as part of the Iron Butt Rally
 
That's an impressive amount of riding. I don't have the iron butt to be capable of doing that. Maybe if I'm in the sidecar. I take it on those trips you don't stop for a beer very often?

I like to stop every time I see something interesting on the side of the road. Traveling straight through is what I've done all my life while working. This bus stops at all points of interest, considering I actually get out on the road eventually.

I'm getting rid of my road bike. I've had to many close scares caused by other drivers.

I do it to challenge myself.

I ride for pleasure too, often with my wife.

We have a couple of scooters too.

A Sym RV250 and a Kymco Like 200i

They don't do quite the miles, but will be great on the bus. Both of us have "M" Endorsements.
