Motorcycle Forum / General / Harley / September 2008Harley-Davidson rental near Death Valley
Hi All, I'll be visiting US next month and would like to rent a H-D bike for a day. I already found few rentals, but trouble is, I would prefer to pick-up the bike before entering Death Valley (driving from Yosemite) and then drop it off in Las Vegas. Can you suggest any rental? All rentals I found have only one pick-up/drop-off place. Regards, Wojtek > I'll be visiting US next month and would like to rent a H-D bike for a > day. you didnt say where you are coming from so be aware this might be difficult without a motorcycle endorsement on your license (which many countries dont even require).

I do have specific driving license category for motorcycles. As far as I've checked, Polish driving licence is valid in CA and NV.

If stopped, just tell 'em you're a mexican truck driver from Calexico who just happens to have a Polish license. >>you didnt say where you are coming from so be aware this might be difficult >>without a motorcycle endorsement on your license (which many countries dont >>even require). > > I do have specific driving license category for motorcycles. > As far as I've checked, Polish driving licence is valid in CA and NV. An International drivers licence is a rather moot point! The fact is, YOU are not prepared to enter Death Valley from Yosemite to Las Vegas in one day...unless you just want to "touch yer toe in those places", and not spend any time to see it. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Wojtek I called Reno HD a year ago about a one-way to Los Angeles and they seemed willing/interested but I was not able to go, so can't comment further. OK, I could, but I would just be making stuff up. SignatureRand McNally BS#263 Yer not lost if you get back before the search party finds you... > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Wojtek You didn't mention whether you'd be driving from the east or west side of Yosemite, so I'll assume the east side. There's no place to rent on the east side of Yosemite on 395 unless you go all the way up to Reno. Quite a haul if you're planning on then turning around and doing DV before you get to Vegas all in one day. You could rent in Fresno, which is fairly (relatively) close to Yosemite on the west, then make your way to Vegas via Yosemite, but you'd probably want more than one day. It can take a long time to get through Yosemite if you really want to enjoy what's there. Once you get to 395 on the east of Yosemite and start heading south there are a number of places that should be seen, like the June Lakes Loop or Mammoth Lakes area. I have seen some Eagle Rider places that will have a bike that needs to get to another rental location, you should talk directly to the place you want to rent from to see if they are in that situation. I'll get the next round. Fins BS#221 > You didn't mention whether you'd be driving from the east or west side > of Yosemite, so I'll assume the east side. I'd be going from Mono Lake (I've already scheduled San Francisco and Yosemite part of my stay). I plan to find some motel before entering Death Valley, and then drive through the Valley to Las Vegas (also already booked). The idea of renting H-D bike just came to my head as additional fun- part of US trip - I ride completely other type of bike at home, but HD + Death Valley seem to match. I'll be traveling with my wife and two friends - so it's not a motorcycle-adventure-trip. If it's not possible to get a one way rental, I'd probably take a bike for a day in LA where I'll be for 6 days due to the business part of the trip. Thanks for answer Wojtek > Hi All, > > I'll be visiting US next month and would like to rent a H-D bike for a > day. Just a day?

Rent a Schwinn, and peddle it around the airport instead. Death Valley is a HUGE place, and you can't just "visit" it in one day on a rented bike without being PREPARED for the journey from Yosemite to Death Valley, and then Las Vegas. You must be a yet another G-MAIL idiot! >> Hi All, >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Just a day? > What a waste of time and money. Yeah a burro would be a lot cheaper. And dropped off anywhere, it'll find it's own way home. Problem solved. >>>Hi All, >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Yeah a burro would be a lot cheaper.

If I'm not mistaken, HOG owns all of the Fly 'n Ride bikes so their not tied to a dealership. The only problem is their minimum is 3 days but they would more likely to allow a different location drop-off. Now you just added 2 days to your trip! A winner! |
