One of my friends has a longtime dream of driving the Route 66 (Or
what's
left of it) from Chicago to L.A. with his Harley-Davidson WLA.
During a MV-rally last weekend he discussed this with us and we couldn't
bear the thought of him driving 2448 miles all alone on his WLA, so far
from home (We live in The Netherlands-Europe). We tried to talk this
idea out of his head but nothing worked, so in the end we decided that
we might as well join him (a dirty job, but someone has to do it).
Before making any serious plans we need some advice from the mil-veh
guys in the U.S.A.
Did any of you do this before??, what can we expect in the the southern
states like extreem tempatures, what's the best time of the year to
do this, are Dutch licensed cars and motorcycles allowed to drive on
U.S.
roads, can I drive accross the U.S. with my European driver-license,
what's the octane rating of the fuel used in the U.S., are there any
spare parts sources near the route 66 (we're planning to go with 2 WLA's
and 2 GPW's), are there any MV or Warbird related museums or something
like that in the neighbourhood of the route 66??.
We would be very gratefull if someone could answer some of these
questions, if we really decide to do this, we might come up with some
more questions.
