Ladies and Gentlemen, Myself and a friend are planning a trip this August/September from Boston, Ma to Los Angeles, Ca. The intention is to do it on Harley Sportsters which I observe can be had for 3 or 4 thousand dollars almost anywhere in the country. We would plan on spending about 14 to 16 days on the trip and would aim to cover approx 300 miles per day. Any advise from US based enthusiasts as to worthwhile places to see and or interesting events of any nature occurring during that time of year would be gratefully received. We will probably head down to Niagara Falls, then on to Detroit to visit the Ford Museum in Dearborn, then on to Chicago to hear some Blues and thereafter it looks like we can keep going due West until we hit The Rocky Mountains or else South west towards Kansas and head towards California through desert country. We want to visit a few places that we have only encountered in American literature and popular music; See if the Wichitaw lineman is still on the line and maybe bungee jump of the Talahachi bridge, meet a dog called Toto in Kansas and visit the Steinbeck Centre in Salinas. Advise and gentle ribbing gratefully received.
