Anyone shipped their bike to the States and spent a couple of months there wandering about>

In the thinking stage of shipping the Blunder-Bus over to America and wandering about. Anyone else done from the UK?

Look at Motorcycle News . Simon Weir shipped his Kawasaki 1000 over a few months ago and is writing about it. He has now shipped bike to NZ and Australia

You need to speak to Randy aka u247_ranette.html as he did the reverse a few months ago - CanadaAir shipped the bike

His blog is here: Start of 9 weeks in Europe

I was just reading his post and have now got the details of Air Canada's service. We want to go to Canada, some of Route 66 and New Orleans. Was thinking of ending in Canada, but may now start and end there.
Not sure if I will have the K16 or go back to the R1200, Triumph Exploder, or then again summat else.
We did The Tail Of The dragon, Devils Triangle and The Rattlesnake this year, but in a poxy hire car. So would like to back to that area on a bike.

I feel your frustration Bolosun. Nothing worse than being sat in a car on roads made for a motorcycle.

The shipping is just administrative stuff. The important thing is where to wander about. I have ridden from Ottawa, Canada to San Diego and return 3 times on an R120ORS. The western USA is incredible biking country. 5 incredible national parks in Utah and Colorado, Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, also Monument Valley, Beartooth Highway and Yellowstone, the Pacific Coast, Redwood National Park,all amazing. Route 66....
Decide on a time of year - early September is great for Colorado, Utah and the California coast.
