Tour Description
THE MOTHER ROAD OF AMERICA
Take a turn off into a bygone era.
Explore the endless miles of Route 66 and see the America of the 1920s to 60s.
Visit the wonderful old trading posts, petrol stations, motels, Drive in Cinemas, diners and towns along the scenic "Mother Road".
Slow down and enjoy the aroma of newly cut hay and hickory smoke drifting from the chimneys.
Stop and stroll through towns which haven't changed since they were bypassed by the interstate highway decades ago.
Sample a real American hamburger and a smooth shake that taste the way they're supposed too.
Pull over along a deserted stretch in the Mojave and listen to the hum of millions of wheels that have passed this way and still make us dream.
A group of Harleys will leave Chicago for a 3,7850km / 2,350miles journey, which will lead to the ultimate destination: Los Angeles on the Pacific Coast.
On the program: Route 66 in all its grandeur!
For 2 weeks you will travel deep into what is most American in America, truly authentic. West forever proposes a simplified version of its usual tours. Rather than a group of 50 bikes, this is an international semi-guided tour. Adventurers that you are, we will give you a road book to follow, transfer your luggage each day to the pre booked hotels, and provide quality technical assistance when necessary.
There will not be the usual pampering our clients are used to, but still a great atmosphere in the bars and restaurants at night when we are all together. There will be Australians, French, Italian, and other Europeans, an international ambiance in the heart of America! |
