Had the itinery through today from HC Travel. Another choice we have to make is, which carrier we will allow to take our delicate arses across the pond. Do we go cheap and fly with the Yanks, United Airlines or go British with Sir Richard's finest. The difference is only £16, so much of a muchness really. When I flew out for US66, I went BA but Dudley flew Virgin. Even before we had the costs he was saying Virgin and others I have spoken to reckon you get a good experience with them, so I guess I'll just have to save that little bit harder ;-)
Watch out for the route map and stops, coming soon.

Sign us up!
Welcome, to this, my 4th motorcycle blog. If you've not seen the others, you'll find the links further down the page.
Well, it now feels like we are on our way to another adventure. Sadly, Biggsey won't be joining in on this one, as first thought but myself and Dudley have both paid our deposits for next June's Wild West tour.
We'll be heading out on 13th June, a day before the tour officially starts, to get acclimatised and do some sightseeing in L.A., then on the 15th we'll hit the road with the other tourees, for two weeks of sun (hopefully) and spectacular scenery (without a doubt).
We've chosen to share a room this time round, we enjoyed it so much last July ;-) (see the Reservoir Hogs blog), saving each of us close to a grand, so a no brainer really. It's not like we're strangers. Better the DeVall you know, eh Dudley?
We've also stated our preference for our mounts. I've gone for the Road King again (my favourite Harley) with a Street Glide as second choice. Dudley has chosen the Heritage Softail, with his second choice, a Fatboy (it's a bike, honest!). If you've read the Route 66 blog, you'll know Dudley had issues with keeping the bike upright (a Road King), hence how he became Dudley, so this time, he's chosen something more suited to his little Ernie Wise legs ;-)
It's early days and there is still a lot to sort out but I can't wait. Just short of 200 days to go!
Don't forget to sign up to follow this blog and make sure you don't miss a minute of the build up or the tour itself.
