If you do make it to CA, stay on I40 once you enter California from Arizona. I made the mistake of riding the most eastern part of Route 66 from Newberry Springs heading east to the last entry point to I40. That road is horrible and I almost lost my right hand mirror (started twirling because of the because of the choppy and very jarring road.) Every screw on my pipe covers was loose once I got off. I prayed I wouldn't get a flat.
Arizona takes good care of 66, at least through Oatman, Hackberry, and Seligman. There is some great scenery as well and well worth the ride. I just rode it 2 weeks ago and would love to go to Oatman again.

So where would be a good opinion of a starting point? I'm trying to find the best place to start where we are actually on 66 and not trying to find it. Keep in mind we will be coming from GA. As far as maps go where and what would be the simplist map in case I dont get a gps for the trip? And thanks for all the responses I know i'm planning the trip a ways out but I really want to ride 66! i have always wanted to even when I rode sport bikes, it's just always been something in my mind!

I am leaving from Tinley Park/Chicago, and following the HOg ride it will take 2 weeks to get to LA. The cost is only $35-50 I think. I don't know if it is still open since it is starting in 2 weeks, or if you could be ready/
