This motorcycle tour through North America is a dream tour for every motorcyclist! Crossing the USA from coast to coast, traveling historic Route 66, seeing the famous Grand Canyon, meeting real cowboys and Indians, listening to the Blues in New Orleans, experiencing the majesty of the world’s biggest trees and riding along the famous Pacific Coast Highway are just a few of the things you should experience at least once in your lifetime! This amazing long-distance tour starts in Miami, in southern Florida. Following the east coast and crossing the panhandle will take us to the white, sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast.

From New Orleans, home of the Blues, we follow Ol’ Man River north along tree-lined country roads passing beautiful antebellum homes. We cross the mighty Mississippi at Vicksburg, riding through Arkansas and on to Oklahoma City. From there we follow historic Route 66 across the Texas Panhandle to beautiful Santa Fe, center of the Pueblo Indian culture.

After a short loop through Colorado we reach the land of the canyons: Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon will take your breath away! Las Vegas, on the other hand, might take most of your money away, and Death Valley, the hottest place in the U.S., could even take your life away – so make sure you don’t ride alone! We reach the west coast at the top of the most spectacular part of California’s Highway 1 – the Pacific Coast Highway. We follow it all the way down to Los Angeles. One of the world’s best rides, the Pacific Coast Highway provides the perfect ending to a once-in-a-lifetime tour!
