The SOHC Easy Rider Trip 2004
« on: March 12, 2007, 01:18:45 PM »

THE TRIP OCCURRED BETWEEN 24th AUG - 15th SEPT 2004 AND WAS A HUGE SUCCESS - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS and stories at Axls Easy Rider Trip webpage -

www.easyridertrip.de

Here was the original blurb on the Yahoo group set up to coordinate the 10+ SOHC riders who came to LA to start the ride

Recreate the 70`s with a once-in-a-lifetime trip combining cool Honda SOHC motorcycles, funky clothing and a great bunch of people as we ride from Los Angeles Airport to New Orelans, roughly following the route taken in that cult classic movie; Easy Rider. Already we are an international crowd with SOHC members from Italy, Germany, Scotland and the USA taking part! We`ll be crossing deserts, mountains and long roads this summer (2004) from 27th Aug - 11th Sept. If interested in joining us, or simply meeting us enroute for a beer, chat motorcycles, Easy Rider movie or to ride then let us know. We could be passing through your town!

cheers
Andy

Hey Andy,

Just finished reading the travelogue of the Easy Rider trip.  A very entertaining adventure.  I really love trips with themes.  And I'm glad none of you got shot at.

Hey Rob, thanks and glad you enjoyed it - thank Axl for writing it up this time. We actually went to the Diner where they filmed the movie only its not a diner anymore its a church!!! And the locals actually invited us to camp in their garden and come to a bbq!!! Unfortunately we didnt have time for that and pushed on through the mosquitos to Baton Rouge  ;)

thanks again,
Andy
