Hello Jaakgs I'm headed to Stuttgart in June 2018. Want to rent a bike and spend a week in the Alps. Looking for info on rentals (I ride 1150rt & 1200 GS), roads and where to stay cheap & safe. Usually sleep in my hammock in US, Canada.
I've got 150k miles of traveling around the US and Canada. Be Glad to swap info. Where are you starting your adventure in the states. I live just out side of DC in Virginia and could most likely help with touring Pa to NC.
But like the title says have found great roads in every state, except Fla. they may be there but I haven't found them. Did a 4k GS tour of the mountains in CA from LA to Oregon. Best trip ever. Suggest you look into
http://www.butlermaps.com/ best maps out west, but Southern US version a little weak. haven't yet used the New England to review. but great to read and study lay a course then use the gps while riding. I have only rented from Motorquest in CA & Alaska and they have been great. They have a good deal driving bikes up to Alaska in the spring and also driving them back in the fall.
anyway let me know if you want to correspond and trade info. Dates and what ever. I met several tour Europeans on my travels and they all are having a great time. Some say that the place is to big others say they wish they had talk to more people before coming.
Look forward to hearing from you.
any others that want to swap info please feel free.
