Kiwi Kens Freedom Rides
Been riding in the States and Canada for over 25 years. Over the years of touring I have seen problems that arise.These include being overly organised .I would not like paying a lot of money for the trip of a lifetime and being told when to stop, when and where to eat ,when to get up and leave.
Out tours are organised to the point that all accomadation is arranged, you have a good road book with directions and tips on highlights along the way.On past tours, riders will often break into smaller groups that suit them.They may stop for a lot photos, may enjoy cruising easy and seeing all that goes by, may be wanting to get out of bed later then pushing hard during the day. Whatever you decide, the choice is yours. We play leapfrog during the day and generally arrive at motel about same time.
Its your ride, enjoy your way.
I organise with your imput daily rides, accomadation, and as a Eagle Rider New Zealand agent past 9 years can assist easily bike rental and Insurances whilst riding and assist with travel Insurance.
Best of all another great saver is you are not paying daily accomadation and meal costs for a guide, a driver, and expenses for the van.
Among options for 2026 is to fly to Los Angeles get the free shuttle to your hotel , relax round the pool and in morning pick up your late model bike very near hotel and prepare for riding the P.C.H. – Pacific Coast Highway past Malibu onto the greatest coast ride Big Sur for two nights in San Fran in the Hotel we have stayed at for 20 years. This patronage is reflected in the great rates and service we are given.
Fancy more time in San Fran, fly direct and pick up your bike there, and can visit Alcatraz, try the crab at Fishermans Wharf and then ride over the Golden Gate on our way along the Pacific coast heading north to Canada.
Head inland to majestic Crater Lake and back along the clifftops and raging surf heading to great rides like my favorite, the Sea to Sky to Whistler.To Jasper then the well known and loved Icefields Highway calling into Glacier overlooking Lake Louise and Banff and riding the Number 1 ride “Going to the Sun” to Montana.
