A cross-country road trip on a Harley Davidson is the stuff of legends. If you’re in Chicago, you’re also in luck; the historic Route 66 begins in the Windy City. This legendary road winds its way through the Midwest and the Southwest to the California Coast. If you don’t have a ride, buying a used Harley Road Glide in Chicago is an affordable way to hit the road.
The Harley Road Glide Special is made for touring. It comes equipped with hard saddlebags, floorboards, and infotainment system. It’s a sleek, classic Harley built for road trips. The Road Glide comes standard with the most displacement of any of the Harley touring bikes. You’ll be chasing the road with 114 cubic inches of power.
Route 66 takes you southwest out of Chicago down to St. Louis, Springfield, and Oklahoma City. Then you’ll cut west across the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico, and Arizona to the Pacific Coast. “The Mother Road” stretches 2,448 miles right across the American Heartland. Schedule at least two weeks during the summer for this epic journey. Also, plan on never wanting to go back once you feel the freedom of the road.
Riding across America on a Harley is the stuff of dreams. If life in the big city has you feeling down, it’s time to hit the road. If freedom is important to you, a road trip to see America is the answer.
