Default Route 66

I'm going to be riding my HD Road King down Route 66, from Oklahoma City to Santa Monica, starting off from Houston on September 21st.
Was wondering if anyone else was interested in coming along, for all or just some of the ride, or meeting up along the way.

Drop me a direct message nearer to your departure. I might be able to ride out
from Albuquerque to Williams / Grand Canyon with you depending on tons of
stuff I can't foresee.

If you have the time, stop in the Painted Desert National Park for an hour or so. It's
the northern part of the Painted Desert / Petrified Forest park and is right on I-40
a few miles east of Holbrook, AZ.

It's a pretty neat road. We road it from Seligman to California, enjoy.

Why are you going to OKC from Houston? Can't meet you, as we will be headed home from Yosemite.
