I told my Boss that I wanted 2 months leave of absence to travel, each
year. She said fine. :-)
So I think first on the list is to ride up through California, the
Pacific highway is meant to be quite something, Marina always said I
should do it someday. All I have to do is work out what Im going to do
it on and figure out the best way to do it. I shall sell the Murderer
and the GS. I rather like the Versys or a new Bonnie. Choices,
choices...
If anyone has experience of Cali/Pacific highway?shipping wheels out
there, feel free to put your two penn'th worth in...

Did it in 2007, took the XJR

As it is 2 months it is cheaper to fly your bike out rather than rent.

Contact James cargo for a shipping quote.

We did it in a car going from SF to LA, stopped overnight in Pismo beach
(don't bother, nice enough beach front but not much else), but could
easily have done it in a day. The bit from SF to Pismo is by far the
bext, although we cut the bottom corner off and took a straighter route
to LA.

Would love to do it on a bike, ditto death valley/yosemite which we
drove through on the way back from Vegas.

Easier to hire a bike surely?

For two months , might it be feasible to buy something over there and
re-sell at the end?
