Harley Hits the Road

Riding a Harley is one of the single best joys in this world. And if you own a motorcycle most either own a Harley or aspire to own a Harley. Oh, the places that bike can take you in a country as diverse as the United States. Dependent on where you live and how far you are willing to go there is a ride that would be considered "one of the best" very close by.

Take the eastern coast line. The trip up the Atlantic Shoreline from Georgia up through Virginia is breathtaking. Slowly meandering (or sometimes not so slowly), experiencing the soaring Blue Ridge Parkway (absolutely beautiful during the change of leaves in the fall), with stops along the Shenandoah National Park and of course the Outer Banks, makes this one of the most beautiful rides out there.

Then there is the return to the old- time, riding down old Route 66 in Arizona and Nevada. You can make a little stop in Laughlin where you can get some R&R and also enjoy the magnificent Colorado River, and on the way back toward Phoenix, experience Sedona, home of the red rock. It's one of the most impressive sights in the US and a great place to grab an ice cream cone.

The California roads offers so much, including Pashnit. The trip takes you through multiple US National parks, Big Sur highway and of course, the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The US is full of incredible road trips for your Harley, the above are just some of the best, but rest assured, there are more. By far my favorite is North Carolina in the fall but that's just me. I love the change of colors in the leaves and the mountains rising and falling. Plus it gives me a reason to go visti my Dad.

Happy Harleying!!!!
