My brother who lives in Spain fancies an American road trip next March/April, starting & finishing in Las Vegas. Whilst not on my bucket list it would be good adventure for us both , I’ll be 61 & he will be 72, having never ridden together or spent much time in recent years. My reservation, no pun, is that it’s 40 since he last rode a bike (GS850G) & whilst he rides a push bike regularly I can’t get over to him about being ride fit. I’ve suggested he buy a bike in Spain & get some ‘bum on the seat’ hours in, not sure that will happen!
Whilst there are many companies offering bike hire, self guided or guided rides which to choose from? I came across a website called Twistedroads which appears to be private individuals renting their bikes out, anyone had any feedback? The main vendors appear to rent big high end HD’s or BMW’s, I’m mindful of my brother having something this big & it turning into clusterf_ _k!
I’m thinking might be a safer option of just renting 2 bikes & book accommodation on a daily basis, giving the option of a lay over day to recover, any thoughts / experiences you’d like to share please?
