Route 6T6
I'm glad to hear about interest in the Mother Road. I have done the strip 4 times and it is better each time. I think I have ridden 99% of the route with very, very little of slab riding. It is a heritage ride. The Mother Road Rally starts June 13 from Willowbrook, Chicago on Saturday and rolls into Santa Monica, CA the next Saturday. Then take a week, or more, to get home. There are maps and literature that cover the route. Just stay off of the freeway.

any additional info would be GREAT!
The start (or end whichever way you look at it) was closer when I was near Detroit. Now just an opportunity for a longer trip from Memphis. I don't think I will get to do it in the near future, but definitely on my list of "must-do-trips".

The mother road rally I was referring to is a very loose group with a rally master an organized route and suggested stop places. It is up to you to make all of your arrangements. You can follow the rally master or blaze your own trail. The years I have made the ride, there are 50-80 bikes, so it is important to break into small groups.

Still in the planning stage, haven't done the math on how many mile we will be able to get in a day, but I'm pretty sure we can make it if the weather doesn't slow us down.
