Route 66 USA Trip Report *

Jacques Botha's picture

For the first time since becoming a member in 2009 I now have the opportunity to fill you in on the most fantastic tour of our lives.  Really a journey of dreams for myself and Marida.

Fellow riders from Paarl came up with the idea about a year ago and having a good relationship with our bank manager, we made it a “yeah”.  The planning and saving started and on the 3rd of May 2011 seven of us left from Cape Town to New York.  We spent three sleepless nights in this most amazing city sightseeing the day and night life.  This city definitely never sleeps but absolutely draws you in from the first moment.  We fell in love with the night vibe of Times Square and it looks like the fan walk in Cape Town every night.

On Saturday, 07 May 2011 at 12h00, we collected our bikes from Eagle Rider in Queens Village (2 x R1200GS + 2 x 1200 RT’s) and headed for Chicago in traffic that makes Joburg look like a deserted town. 

Eagle Rider Queens New YorkEagle Rider, Queens New York

We travelled for about 8½ hours to Lamar, Pennsylvania.  We would have gone through to Du Bois but did not make it as we took 2 hours to get out of New York.  Definitely not for sissies.  The next morning we left at 09h00 and arrived in Chicago at 21h30 after 13 ½ hours on the road.  Nature wise this was the most beautiful part of our trip because Pennsylvania looks like one big Knysna forest.   

We met up with Christo Lombard (from the Club), Hennie Ludick from Johannesburg and Dr Nico Rossouw from Hermanus.  They wanted to do the trip the true American way and had to collect Harleys from Chicago.  After spending a day in windy Chicago, we left the Tuesday morning on our journey of dreams and for the next 18 days we were smothered with the beauty and joy of being able to ride the old and legendary Route 66

  ChicagoChicago

We went through the most amazing little “one horse towns” and sometimes had to look for a gas station. 

Literally a one-horse-townLiterally a one-horse-town

One of our first stops was in Pontiac, Illinois.  While we were parking the bikes to visit the Route 66 museum, a very nice gentleman came up to us and introduced himself as the Mayor.  We immediately took a picture with him and he arranged a tour of the museum as well as a bus tour through the town.  We were treated like celebrities.

Just before the city of Tulsa in Oklahoma we were caught up in a very strong hail storm and the group got split up.  We arrived in Tulsa soaking wet and poured the water out of our boots in the hotel bathroom.  Nico however thought that he had got lost and ended up in a little diner along Route 66.  Here he was entertained by a local on a beer or two and only arrived about 3 hours later, high and absolutely dry.  He missed the storm totally.

In Amarillo, Texas, we had to have dinner at the famous Big Texan Steak Ranch.  They are also known for the challenge “If you can eat a 72oz steak in 60 minutes, it’s free”.  Two guys took the challenge but were almost in tears halfway through.

At the city of Flagstaff in Arizona we were snowed in and had to sleep over for two nights.  Fortunately we made up time earlier in the trip otherwise we would not have made our flights.  Due to the heavy snow we could not ride out to the Grand Canyon and we hired a shuttle to take us to this most unbelievable sight.

On the second day in Flagstaff I had to be taken to the Emergency Room with a possible kidney stone.  Not wanting to hold anyone back, we had to take on the journey to Las Vegas with more snow ahead and the morphine still laughing at me.   The Las Vegas traffic was moderate as we came in at about 18h30 and the real action only started at 21h00 in the main attraction, “The Strip”.

Where is the dessert?Where is the desert?

Here we spent another three nights.  Although this city is very impressive with all it’s lights and action, it is definitely not everybody’s cup of tea.  We understand why they say “What happens in Vegas, stays on Facebook”.  Those who have been there, will understand. 

I did not touch.  I was trying to cover the poor girls up.I did not touch. I was trying to cover the poor girls up.

Seeing that Vegas is known for quickie weddings, we could not resist and Marida and I renewed our wedding vows in The Little Church of the West Wedding Chapel.  This was really special and now I can at least say that I took her to Las Vegas and Hollywood for honeymoon.    

She's still mine...She's still mine...

Viva Las VegasViva Las Vegas 

Finally, we left Las Vegas on 25 May 2011 and after another 10 ½ hour ride, arrived at the Santa Monica Pier at about 17h00.  We were allowed by a very friendly police officer to park our bikes and pose for the final “The End of Route 66” pictures.

We spent our last three days in fabulous Los Angeles and Marida had a ball in Rodeo Drive.  She again proved why she has a black belt in shopping.

We had the most fantastic road captain in the person of Richard Peet from Durbanville.  Looking at a GPS, riding in an enormous country and checking the mirrors for the 6 bikes behind him was truly exceptional.  Well done Richard.   We’ll hit the road again with you anytime.

All in all, we rode through 12 states namely, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California, six time zones and covering a total of 3 685 miles (5 930 km). 

Yes, we really did itYes, we really did it

Advice for future riders, plan a year in advance and pay the air fare and rental costs as far as possible in advance. 

If this is one of the things on your bucket list, DO IT.  It is well worth the time and money.  This is truly a life changing experience.  

Marida earned her Route 66 wings.  This is truly a survival trip and not many ladies would have endured all the challenges. 

Finally, thanks to everyone on the trip.  Special thanks to Dave, Ruan, Shane, John, Lynn and Shafiek from Atlantic Motorrad as well as the guys from Donford Motorrad for all their operational and technical support as well as advice. 

What a teamWhat a team

Lekker om te lees en herinneringe weer op te roep. Dit was voorwaar 'n belewenis wat nie regtig vir ander sin sal maak as hulle dit nie self doen en gaan beleef nie. Ek sal probeer om bietjie van ons 3 Harley manne se perspektief by te sit. LW die rede waarom ons op Harleys dit gedoen het is EERSTENS - omdat daar nie BMW's beskikbaar was in Chicago nie en tweedens, omdat ons goedgedink het om dit op 'n eg Amerikaanse manier te doen.

Die ervaring was great - maar laat ek sommer van die begin af duidelik maak - Die Harleys (Elecrta glide) kan herdoop word na 'n "SSS" (soos die Datsun van ouds). Die eerste S is vir Sex Appeal - die Amerikaanse mense like 'n Harley (die girls ook). Ons het baie meer "omkyk" gekry as die Beemers. Die volgende S is vir "Seat". Die bike se sitplek is baie gemaklik - ons het nooit baie moeg geword nie. Die laaste S is vir Sound  - die ding het 'n goeie radio/CD/Ipod speler.

Wees verseker  - dit is al wat goed is aan die bike. Oor die res gaan ek nie eers kommentaar lewer nie

EK sal 'n kort trip report voorberei en plaas - uit die H-manne se perspektief. Gee bietjie kans!

Day 1: Chicago to Springfield (10-5-2011)

We spent a few days exploring Chicago’s rail and bus infrastructure before we collected our Harleys in preparation for the trip down to LA. The guys from New York joined us in the Hotel and it was also systems go for the departure the 10th of May.
Route 66 starts on the eastern side of Chicago and runs almost straight west for many miles before you leave the actual city or suburban areas behind you.

 

 

As can be seen from the photo – no stopping, no parking and even no standing is allowed in the area near the start of the Route.

We visited the official start via public transport the previous day and decided to depart from our Hotel on the outskirts of the city

 

We all came together for an official start photo session in front of the Hotel and we mounted out trusted SSS Harley’s in anticipation…..!

 

Die hele spul deurmekaar reg vir die vertrek…..


Our first stop was for lunch at a typical roadside diner in some or other one-horse town on route. See my SSS Harley in the foreground. Not bad hey?

 

Here we took the first of many more to come ………….a single Bud!

 

We visited some of the many to come historic sites on the Route soon realizing that for most of the folk running and maintaining these, this is their source of income.

 

Every now and then we were joined by locals on their Sunday afternoon trip when we pulled off at one of these roadside historic sites.

 

Some of these riders are really matured in age and in an effort to retain some of their youth, they make very innovative plans to stay upright on their bikes

The roads are reasonable but it became clear later on the trip that it is just not economically viable to maintain the full historic Route 66 in the way we found it here on the first day of our trip.

 

The next roadside diner or pub and grill was just around the next corner – not always….!

The major of Pontiac personally pitched to take us on a tour through his beloved town.

See the location of Pontiac on the map indicating the traditional route through Illinois.

 

The elderly in this town made it their passion to keep the town as one of the best maintained historic Route 66 towns on the route by maintaining a double story museum of the route as well as huge paintings on the exterior walls of some of the shops in town, taking us all on a bus tour through the town to show off their real American patriotism. One of the best Routs 66 historic towns on the trip – and a must see that is for sure. They even showed us the house where Lincoln stayed overnight –being restored to its original glory.

 

 

On to the next roadside diner so that we can get our kicks!

See the menu for an indication of the prices we paid. Note that a hamburger and chips means just that and that it is something vastly different than a Hamburger and French fries! I learned very quick that chips is chips (the Simba type)

Our first night out we stayed in the Route 66 hotel – all with the normal expo of historic US on display. Cost per night just below $60 so sharing a room makes it much more affordable (singles benefit most I must add!)

 

Day 2: Springfield (Illinois) to Rolla (Missouri) (11/5/2011)

One of the 3 H-riders decided that he does not need his keys for the bike anymore and it went missing. What a mess! LA time is 2 hours later than Springfield Illinois -so upon departure the next morning, when Nico discovered his loss, we end up waiting for 2 hours for LA to get to work so that they can forward us the code of the key in order for Nico to have a duplicate made in Springfield.
Keep in mind that the bikes cam all the way from LA and was delivered to Chicago so that we can ride it all the way back to LA. For this you pay a so called “one way fee” of $550.

We stayed behind in support of a much stressed Nico and agreed that we shall meet up with the Beemer group in the next rendezvous town being Rolla.

We stuck to the Interstate 40 in order to catch up with the rest of the group and made it to Rolla in good time. Because of the chase to make up time, we did not spend much time on sightseeing. The average distance of our daily trips were about 250 miles.

We booked into one of the cheapest Hotels we stayed in on Route and find it surprisingly comfortable and pleasant. This is what you get for $49 for the room. Sharing a room once again – an absolute bargain.  2 double or Queen beds with very comfortable mattresses.

It even includes a light breakfast!

 

We were up and about the next morning – waiting for the Beemer group to start the next part of our trip to Tulsa in Oklahoma…

 

Day 3: Rolla to Tulsa (Oklahoma)

By now all the singles were starting to look like real BIKERS on Harleys! Don’t !$%$$# with a Ninja china!? See my 2 HARLEY buddies! (fyi - in real life they ride proper bikes)

 

Today’s trip will take us through some nice twisties in very nice typical forest area to Devils Elbow – which houses a very old post Office, the history of which I cannot remember anymore. Google it if you want to know more…

 

We all pulled in and a postcard was posted to our friends and organizers who missed the trip because their Visa’s were not approved.

 

A typical American truck stopped..... And a typical American senior citizen got out…..

 

Die natuurskoon hier is baie mooi en iets wat sal bly in my gedagte  -aangesien die res van die trip eintlik maar deur woestynwereld gaan en redelik vervelig kon wees met tye.

 

We moved into the next state and as usual enquired about the state at the nice “information centers” next to the road as you enter the state. A free cup of coffee awaits and one is able to gather a lot of reading material about the route going through the particular state.  

A visit to the Candy factory and the “world’s largest gift store” should be high on the “must do” list.

They are in close proximity of one another.

For all the gifts you need the ample storage space of the Harley Electra Glide!!! Nico even made space for a breathing cat in his top-box.  How it stayed alive the full trip is just unbelievable! We ended up carrying luggage for some of the couples on the Beemers

 

Once again we ended up spending the night in a reasonably priced Motel ($62) with all the required comforts

 

Dag  4; Tulsa - Oppad na Clinton(13/5/2011)

Ons ry vandag omtrent 220 myl van Tulsa na Clinton. Gaan eers by Harley aan vir raad en advies vir die GPS wat moeilikheid gee. Nie baie suksevol nie. Die manne verkoop Harley’s – wat kan jy verwag!

 

 Dit is baie koud en die wind waai die hele tyd dwars van voor  - oor ons. Ry moeilik maar die skerm help vir die ergste koue. Ons mis die BMW se Gripwarmers erg!Die Harley’s kom nie vinniger as 90MPH nie. Selfs afraand ook nie. As die wind ophou waai kry jy hom darem tot by 100mph.

 Ons eet ontbyt by die Rock café wat ‘n bekende besienswaardigheid op die roete is. Dit het voorheen tot op die grond afgebrand.

 

Ons sien vir die eerste keer iets om na te kyk in die mooier geslag. Tot dusver was daar nog net Olifante en Walvisse te sien! Die vrou run die show man alleen – of is dit vrou alleen?

 

Die hele toergroep bymekaar  - lekker koud word lekker warm met bottomless koffie en tradisionele HAMBURGERS!

Very nice reports Jaqcues and Christo. LaughingLaughing In the eighties I travelled around, and lived, in the border states of the USA for 2 years . Started in NY down to Florida, where I lived for a few months , then accross to LA in a big old Impala, then lived in  LA ( Venice Beach)  for a few months , then took Greyhound busses up to Washington , Seatlle , then across to NY and then hitchiked around New England and then lived in NY for a few months , so your trip brought back memories of all that is fascinating and good about America, and introduced countries in the middle that I missed. I have always wanted to go back , and your reports, which magnetically pulls in the reader, has now accelerated my desire.

Excellent Reports , thanks. LaughingLaughing
