    Been years ago but can't remember where to go. It's all good and astonishing from what I remember and never saw anything disturbing. As for roads, I don't remember if they were winding or bland.

    Haven't decided yet. We can pick from a range of Harley's or a Honda Goldwing...will probably go for a Harley but not to bigger one.

    It's a self guided tour which seems pretty good...all through Eagle Riders!

    A good way to describe it would be English speaking area of the Alps!!

    Hi Dougie,

    Unfortunately I had to surrender my license a couple months back so didn't get to tour on a bike...BUT...my mate hired a car and we drove round and it was amazing! The Rockies are incredible and I was gutted I couldn't ride it...I'd love to go back once I can ride again! Lots of bikers out and about and lovely roads and scenery!!!

    I'd def recommend it!

    Matt

    I've checked out Eagle riders tours and they look good (i did the west coast of America several years ago),i would probably go for the self guided tour as i have relatives in BC so would spend a day or 2 with them,if i don't manage next year it will hopefully be the year after..how long did you go for?

    We were in Canada for 3 weeks but in the Rockies for a week. When I was sorting out biking, I spoke to Eagle Rider and they were putting together an itinerary for us. It was a mix of the self guided tours they offer but with a few alterations! They were really helpful and understanding when I had to cancel everything.
