Route 66 Trip - Anyone done it?

Here's a few more pics. I'm on a hotel computer here and it doesn't seem to let me create a new line with the enter key so they end up stuck straight after the text. Okay jumped on another PC and the keyboard is better now so I've tidied them up.

We did a different take on it and travelled the Arizona part of Route 66 (said to be the most original) between Flagstaff and Kingman in January in the middle of Winter in 2011. We didn't go by bike but did it by RAV4 instead. The snow lying about at high altitude is classic but that disappears as you head towards Kingman. Here's some examples of a few pics at that time of the year.

Did that area in mid-summer, crikey it gets warm!!

Yeah crazy is right coz in the winter it's the opposite. Slightly off 66 the other way towards Monument Valley we hit a low temp shown on the dash of the RAV4 of -18 C or 2 deg F.

My uncle just got back from Route 66 over 2 weeks in a rented Corvette Z06. Absoluting raving about it. It's a must apparently.

Oh man we stayed in kingman just across from that sign on the building,got trashed in our hotel and staggered to the bar next door and stumbled out of there at 7am,but what we found there was about 10 restored denver mullins choppers at a panel shop and also a chopped caddy car which has found its way to new zealand.I will go back one day awesome bit of country.

I rode Route 66 a in 2011, really enjoyed it, I've got a pretty detailed Ride Report on here

I agree there are better rides in the US, but if your dream is the Mother Road, just do it!
