A friend of mine shipped his bike from Kentucky to Alaska last summer. On his blog he wrote, after seeing his bike when he arrived at the pick-up station, "I felt like singing!" Smile

We shipped our BeeEmms from the UK to LA for a three week ride up Pacific Coast Highway, SF, Redwoods, Lassen, Tahoe, Grand Canyon, Palm Springs and back (plus loads of other sights in between, like Mammoth) - a fabulous trip. Then we followed that up with an equally good trip, shipping our 'bikes from the UK again, this time to Denver, for a Rockies trip, up into Canada via Going to the Sun Pass, then back - again, as fantastic a trip as the first one. I agree that, seeing my 'bike being unshipped, is a true joy.

My BeeEmm has been to most countries in Europe and I hope that I may import it to France and leave it there, so I can fly in and have the use of it.

So many possibilities, so little time! If you ever thought about a tour, DO IT, before it's too late.

From Yosemite Valley, I would like to ride the 120 to cross the mountains from West to East (Lee Vining).

Google maps says, the 120 is closed. Is this still a winter close and may this be open in about 3 weeks or is that road generally closed for other reasons?

Unbelievable that I will be riding in California in 2 weeks!

That's fantastic, Django.
Reminds me of my excitement in 2000 when I did a tour of California from here in the UK and the exciting build-up to it. In fact, the planning and build-up was all part of the fun of the tour and just as much a part of it.
I hope it all goes really well for you. Best wishes
