To do Route 66, I need transport. Right....we'll see if this one fits......

I reckon it does, so.....

I must be on the right road....

The Bridge of Rocks across the mighty Mississippi. Look carefully and you'll see where it bends half way across the river.

A cafe in Missourri. "So it'll be two eggs easy over with bacon, sausage, hash browns, rye toast and jelly. More coffee, Sir?" Oh yes indeed - and repeat that every day for 25 days.....

On into New Mexico......just long straight roads.

Hiding away in Santa Fe from the HOG Rally taking place up the road....

"Standing on the corner, in Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see......"

"Why is your bike under your Motel window, Sir?"
"Because I can't get it in the room with me!!"

*!**#!! If only I'd thought to ask you first, I could have saved myself HOURS of research, deep thought and agonising choice, couldn't I? I just can't stop kicking myself.

Next time, I'll be sure to ask.

Looks like you had a brilliant time. How about an article on your trip? Was it an ambitition to travel this route? Why buy and not rent etc.
Well done.
