I'm off to the US on the 28th August. Flying in to San Francisco, being driven to San Jose, picking up a Harley (ugh... but it is America) and then pootling off to ride through California, Nevada and Utah. We'll head up to Reno and stop by Lake Tahoe for obligatory photos. We're going along highway 50, which is a road hundreds of miles long and relatively straight. It's affectionately known as 'America's Loneliest Road'. It's the one with the big mountain at the end that never seems to get any closer. Then through the desert to see the motorcycle Salt Flat Racing/Speed record attempts. Although we're staying in Wendover, as the racing is on for 7 days, I'm sure a couple of hours of standing in the blazing sun, on reflective salt, watching bikes half a mile away travelling in a straight line will convince me that I should spend the rest of my time doing some more riding. I'm due back on September 11th. Bit of a bitch that the exchange rate is taking a dive at the moment but do I care....

We've not been overly worried about planning but here's the route we'll be taking: vroom

Not that I'm counting: Countdown To Lee's Holiday

Photos to follow. Probably on Facebook or summat.

Nice mate I hope you have a great time.

Enjoy Mate.

The Grand Canyon definitely worth a visit and helicopter ride through it if you can

Las Vegas is mental and worth the experience if you've never been.

Make sure you have good holiday insurance for health care it's well known that americans can't drive. As for the plummeting pound you think you've got it bad next month is my last payment on a loan I've been paying back for the last year with a quid being over 2 dollars, I get right to the end of sending $400 a month and the exchange rate changes

Have a good break matey. Don't take any form of communication tool that allows work to get hold of you and don't log in just to check mails.

Relax.

Unless you plan on throwing it into the Grand Canyon (Littering in a National Park is a shooting offence by the way)

Well, do you?

Enjoy it mate

LOL
