Kiwi Ken

Kiwi Ken Been riding in the States and Canada for 25 years. Over the years of touring I have seen the problems that arise. These include being overly organised.

Heading again 2026 up into Canada and on to Sturgis and the Best of the West with great riding on the original Route 66.My experience of the roads and sights will put your dream into motion. I would not like paying a lot of money for a trip of the lifetime and being told when to stop, when and where to eat, when to get up and leave. Our trips are organised to the point that all accommodation is

arranged, you have a good map book with directions on how to get to accommodation with tips on highlights along the way. On past trips, once riders get their confidence level up will often break into smaller groups that suit them. They may stop for a lot of photos, may be smokers and want to stop more often, may just like cruising easy and seeing all that goes by, may be wanting to get out of bed later then pushing hard during day. Whatever you decide, the choice is yours. We play leapfrog during the day and generally arrive at motel around same time. I have seen New Zealanders get on their bikes and start riding 1000 kโ€™s a day, not wanting to miss anything. Tried this once, missed out on more you saw, with no time to stop. Sore arse and crabby wife on back. Decided to keep rides down to 300-500 kโ€™s a day. Not so daunting as doing that distance in N.Z. owing to quality of roads and sensible speed limit. Have two night stopovers in the more interesting towns. Gives you time to get out, chat to the locals and live a bit of Americana.

KiwiKen has ridden to his last sunset in the States. Years of great riding with top Kiwi riders and the odd Aussie joining in.
We rode for 6 to 8 weeks seeing the best of wonderful US and Canada shipping our bikes over from NZ for many years before Covid appeared .
Los Angeles to Alaska 3 times, Sturgis rally 20 visits, 8 weeks New York to Quebec, onto way down South to Key West, back to New York then a leisurely ride East to West to Los Angles .
I want to wish well all those that rode with KiwiKen over the past 25 years and thanks for the memories that will keep on.
Any one contemplating going and riding in the US my advice is get your ESTA sorted early. The new requirements re Entry are very
onerous and over reaching.
If you see yourself in the shots , make a comment.
