What's the best motorcycle route from the East to West Coast?

I just retired and my first purchase was a Harley. My wife and I want to do a road trip across the country, but we’re not quite sure what route to take. What’s the best motorcycle route going from the East Coast to the West Coast?

Congratulations on your retirement and your brand new
motorcycle
! While you have several options to choose from, many bikers agree that the best motorcycle route across America from the East to West Coast follows Route 66. Here are the details:
  • Start wherever you want to along the East Coast
  • Make your way to Chicago
  • Take Route 66, which goes from Chicago to Los Angeles through eight different states and three time zones
The total length of Route 66 is around 2,400 miles. On the way back, you can trek up the Pacific Coast Highway and then cut back across the country on whatever path you choose.
