Ride the world famous Route 66, also known as the 'Mainstreet of America' or "Mother Road", is 2400 miles long from Chicago to Los Angeles, crosses three time zones and 8 States: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Route66 has been the path of migrants, dreamers, desperados and an entire generation of vacationers discovering the way west. The 1950's were the Route 66 glory days, when thousands of cars rode bumper to bumper behind each other to experience the Western frontier. Hotels, motels, gas stations, classic restaurants, and the new America sprang up everywhere. Much of Route 66's classic roads, restaurants, gas stations, and nostalgic landmarks are preserved just as they were in the 1950’s. The famous and nostalgic Route66 is the road created in heaven for Harley-Davidson touring. Simply stated, this is the guided tour of America!

This area remained frontier territory until the timber companies moved in at the end of the 19th century. We ride through the towns of Lebanon and Conway and make a stop in Carthage to see the old beautiful courthouse before we enter the state of Oklahoma. This state does not often get to crow about being the best in the country but as far as Route66 is concerned, Oklahoma is definitely number one! Containing more miles of the old Highway than any other state and in far better condition, this is a mecca for bikers and old-road fans out here, We ride all the way up to Tulsa, where we overnight.
