Kiwi Ken J and I have travelled extensively throughout the U.S. Over the years of touring I have seen the problems that arise. These include being overly organised.

and Canada doing the Four Corners comprising of Washington, Florida, Maine and California as well as riding to Alaska from California 3 times and Los Angeles to Key West Florida and return, Daytona I would not like paying a lot of money for a trip of the lifetime and being told when to stop, when and where to eat, when to get up and leave. Our trips are organised to the point that all accommodat

ion is arranged, you have a good map book with directions on how to get to accommodation with tips on highlights along the way. On past trips, once riders get their confidence level up will often break into smaller groups that suit them. They may stop for a lot of photos, may be smokers and want to stop more often, may just like cruising easy and seeing all that goes by, may be wanting to get out of bed later then pushing hard during day. Whatever you decide, the choice is yours. We play leapfrog during the day and generally arrive at motel around same time. I have seen New Zealanders get on their bikes and start riding 1000 k’s a day, not wanting to miss anything. Tried this once, missed out on more you saw, with no time to stop. Sore arse and crabby wife on back. Decided to keep rides down to 300-500 k’s a day. Not so daunting as doing that distance in N.Z. owing to quality of roads and sensible speed limit. Have two night stopovers in the more interesting towns. Gives you time to get out, chat to the locals and live a bit of Americana.

Talked to a friend In Laughlin Arizona today. She remarked there was a warning for excessive heat like 116 F. I changed that to celsius for a 46.5 . Ridden there before in the summer and great sighs of relief all round when we check into the hotel and are met by frigid air con. Give the pool a miss , after basking in the sun all day its like jumping into a cup of coffee.
I'm content to sit at the bar gazing on the Colorado river flowing past, a cold Bud in hand, reminising on another great ride via Oatman on Route 66.

28C in Sturgis today and I know will be hotter when we get there in August. Something different this year, I'm staying in a tent so will have to check my old lilo, make sure it won't let me down on the hard South Dakota prairie.
Staying on Lazelle Street opposite the Broken Spoke and the Iron Horse so we can ride all day round the Black Hills back to the tent and from memory there are shower booths a stroll down the street to get rid of the dust .
Thinking I'm even looking forward to the gigantic B/B/Q turkey legs cause sure will not be having a homecooked dinner while there.
But the beers cold, the music a good mix of US country rock, the bikers from round the world a freindly lot and its summer.
