Eaglerider is a top notch deal. You can do guided tours, or you can go it on your own.
Route 66 Riders advertises a west to east route, but they've gotta get the bikes back to California somehow. I'd suggest seeing about you riding them back! Maybe they'll cut you a break on pricing

July would be pretty nice still, with less rain chances. The deserts and mountains are beautiful that time of year.
August would be the lowest rain chances, but also the highest temps. The deserts can get pretty warm in the heat of the summer.
Early September would be OK, though the rain chances go up and you get later in the month.
If it were me, I'd probably go in July. Hard to beat it then. Plus, if you get here early enough you could join in our Independence Day celebrations on July 4th! Oh, and you'll enjoy Flagstaff, AZ. It's a beautiful southwestern city. High enough in altitude that it doesn't get so hot as the desert floor, but definately has that southwestern flavor.

I plan the next year to drive the route 66 from the east to west.
Question when is the best season? Who is the best motorcycle loaner? About all information I would be grateful.
Greeting Reiner
