Panorama: Good vibration in California: the myth Harley on the trail

Easy Rider for everyone – this dream can be fulfilled with lien motor wheels in California. We were traveling with the Electra Glide around Los Angeles – where there are also 47 miles no gas station, but there is plenty of space to cruise.

"Driving to Palm Springs. This is an ideal quarters to take the curved pestles in the area under the wheels. There you will have a lot of fun."Chris McIntyre knows what his customers leave. Since 1992, his motorcycle rental has helped "Eaglerider" more than 500,000 people to fulfill a dream: Motorcycling in USA – along the famous Route 66, through the national parks and canyons around California or on a three-day trip l.A. out of the desert. For 125 euros per day you rent a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with windshield, suitcases, stereo system, Cruise Control and cultively shaking 1,7-liter V2 Unterm tank. Lending helmet, clothes, taxes and most important insurance are included in the price.

Enjoyment without windshield

The timely ride with sack and pack on the SuperTourer Electra Glide by California is not the only way to experience the Myth Harley. For example, if you send the family to Disneyland or the Universal Studios, for example, you can use the rental price of the Electra Glide with a Unrocked Fat Boy or Dyna Low Rider by Hollywood and Beverly Hills Crusia. A Puristic Sportster 883 already gives S for 102 euros a day. A pleasure even without wind shield, because even in the deepest winter are mild wind and about 20 degrees Celsius no rarity.
From the Pacific to the desert, two days after my start in Los Angeles: "Ride like the wind" sounds from the Harman Kardon speakers of the Electra Glide, the sky over me glows in the colors of the sunset, left and right fly Joshua Trees to me over. The raising darkness drives me to Interstate Freeway 10, which will return me to Palm Springs. Until then, I cruise the Eldorado Mine Road with the voice of Christopher Cross in the ear between the yellow median strip and the steeply sloping edge of the black asphalt band. She leads from the desert town "29 Palms" directly through the Joshua Tree National Park to the south to six-lane desert freeway: Curvy and partly mountainous road course, 47 miles no gas station, and in the case of burglary darkness soothing loneliness. Until then, many SUVs and Vans had moved across the street, but with increasing darkness shortly before the ranger base Cottonwood Springs pulls more and more the feeling of freedom and adventure.
Intensive emotions are constantly accompanying me for three days and everywhere on my desert tour. Sometimes more sometimes less. Hectic, s lot goes on the up to ten-lane high and freeways in the megacity-Moloch Los Angeles, where I can use as biker at least the "Car Pool Lanes". They are taboo for the many cars with only one passenger on board, so the special traces are often relatively well-passed in the largest traffic jam. With the motorcycle you have free ride here, or you can pass on steaming car keys between the footsteps – amazing special rights that enjoy motorcyclists here in California. This also includes the powerful, good 400 kg of heavy Electra Glide in sight of the night porter in front of my motel "7 Springs Inn" in Palm Springs. Garages are a rarity here. But bikers may park right in front of the door as soon as they have considered a friendly tourist who has nothing to do with the TV rockers "Sons of Anarchy" or similar, Harley-driving two-wheeled villains.

Impressive panoramas
On the way back to Los Angeles, I pass the over 4000 wind turbines, which generate enough electricity for Palm Springs and the entire coachella Valley here at one of the windmasters of the USA here. Later, the "Banning Idyllwild Panoramic Highway 243" is fair to his name: a breathtaking view of the panorama of the Moreno Valley lying under us remains the other. And: a curve chases the other and reveals that the SuperTourer Electra Glide is expelling a lot of character and little, but not too little slot. For the deep trail on the torque-oriented machine with 134 nm, it is always enough.
The desert- becomes the coastal tour when I drive on the way back to the Ortega Highway 74 towards the sea. Again a tip from Eaglerider, this time from the "Rental Associate" Mike Bettis: On the way there is the biker club "Hells Kitchen" attraction for countless motorcyclists from the area. Harley driver Chris from the beautiful coastal town Huntington Beach is often about here because the serpentines of the Ortega Highway are reachable from the Pacific in just under an hour. And because the Hells Kitchen decorated with skulls only looks like secondary bikers here. Instead, there is simply good mood, the often ordered "Elsies Famous Chili Dogs" or for breakfast hearty "Breakfast Burritos" taste fantastic, and if there is to be right opposite in "The Country Store" abundant memory.

On the Fat Boy by California

Motorcycle Dream: On the Fat Boy by California

It Sometimes Rains in California
Too bad about the return to Eaglerider on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles pattered rain and a detour to the absolutely worth seeing biker treff "Rock Store" at the Mulholland Drive. Mike Bettis raves: "On the way there you will be photographed in a narrow sweep, the best snapshots and fierce slovals you see on the homepage of the Rock Store. And with good luck you meet here at the weekend Jay Leno or George Clooney."Instead of chatting with the motorcycle fanatic Leno or leisure-biker Clooney, I get to know the Eaglerider’s leading streets near the Los Angeles International Airport from its slippery side – by:" IT Never Rains in Southern California ". But no matter, because even one of the most rare rainy days does not change the myth Harley. You inhale on the highways, freeways and desert or coastal roads around Los Angeles in the wide saddle of an Electra Glide, and he does not let go of it that fast.

  1. "quality" Research
    Everyone can see what he wants. Factist is interesting that someone … the days on a Harley with "double suction" and "duckarsch" through the US, a Harley FXDF as Fat Boy and not Corrective Meadow referred to as Fat Bob! Weak!!

  2. under no circumstance
    I’ve participated in three motorcycle tours on which a Harley was there. In all three cases, the tour was over early because the Harley had made Schlapp. Usually because the oh so cool vibration had shaken something to the part. I would never carry me on a Harley through the Death Valley car, at most with escort vehicle wirtendran.
