A group of riders from Club Burgman Spain is coming to USA to take this tour, starting August 1st and taking 16 days to finish it.

If you live in the Chicago area, or Los Angeles area, and want to meet them please let me know or post here.

Also if you would like to be part of this ride post here or PM me.

Sure! Love to meet them. If they're interested in a ride and have a few hours, I am an organizer for the largest scooter group in Los Angeles and know all the best roads to ride, best road side eateries, etc.

Weekend would be best as I get limited time off. But let me know. See if we can work this out.

Hi, I'm Pepe Carballo, President of the Club Burgman Spain, and would love to meet with a member of your club anywhere at Route 66.

See you.

See you.

Route 66 in Los Angeles is now most just city streets like Foothill blvd. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foothill_Boulevard_(Southern_California)
Not much to see except urban sprall.

It does end at Santa Monica pier however. Which is a must for any Route 66 rider.

There is some good riding somewhat along Route 66 up in Mount Baldy. But that would be very hot in August.

If you really want the California experience, however, you MUST ride up Pacific Coast Highway. You can start from Santa Monica Pier and ride north, as far as your time allows. You will recognize it by the hundreds, if not thousands, of movies and television shows that have filmed here over the decades.

Just a suggestion, but I'd skip the Route 66 part in Los Angeles and head for the coast, especially in August.

Thanks Liamjs for your offer. I hope you will be able to get in touch with them to organize a local tour in Los Angeles.

That looks like one HOT route in August. Seriously, 100+ temps once you get in the southern states. Pack a cooling vest and vented gear.

Humidity will be massive...a great ride men, ride safe!

Old Rt.66 through Missouri has some real scenic spots.
Don't miss Cuba, Missouri, right along Interstate 44.
That town thrives on Route 66 nostalgia.

Do you ride your own bikes?

Oh boy. HDs in hot weather. Maybe I'll see you in Los Angeles. Lol.

Liamjs, do not discourage them, they are not the first ones to do this, and they won't be the last ones either.

I hope you will be able to meet them in LA.

Sorry, just a joke. I'm sure they'll be fine. Looking forward to it!

Any other Los angleans want to get in on this?

What ever happed to this ride? I volunteered to meet them in Los Angeles, but never heard a word from them. No PMs. No updates on this thread. Nothing.

If you spaniards are out there... Hope you had a good time.
