| Breakfast - if offered by the hotels (A frank word about breakfast in the USA: We would like to point out that breakfast as an included service in American or Canadian hotels is not a matter of course. There are different varieties of breakfast. Some hotels offer coffee and some kind of rolls, toast or a piece of cake, plus maybe some jam. If one is lucky, there is some fruit or dairy products. Some accommodations only offer coffee with a coffee maker in the room. Other hotels offer a varied breakfast. Many hotels decide in the middle of the season to launch this service, to abolish it or even to change it. There is generally everywhere a possibility to buy breakfast for little money. We write in the services "Partial breakfast", because we can not guarantee which hotel all of a sudden decides for it or against it). |

| Motorcycles on this tour: |
| Please note: Not all types are available at all motorcycle stations. As we are not the direct service provider for the motorcycles, we cannot guarantee for the "first motorcycle wish". |
| So that everything is clear in advance: Our partner requires the specification of a substitute desired machine mandatory at the time of booking and gives us a MOTORCYCLE CLASS GUARANTEE. This means that we will confirm your initial request (if available on the day of booking) and as an alternative a guarantee within the booked / requested category. |
| Class mix in booking is not allowed. |
| OPTIONAL MOTORCYCLE MODEL GUARANTEE: If the desired model is available, our partner will confirm the booking for the desired model, however, he reserves the right to offer an alternative model from the same category, if your desired model is not available. This can happen, for example, if the previous renter returned the motorcycle with damage. If choosing a specific model is very important to you, then this model will be guaranteed to you for an extra charge of 125 EUR per rental. |
| In the unlikely event that this service does not work out on the spot, you will get a motorcycle from the same category and the fee will immediately be refunded to you. |

| An honest word among bikers: |
| With the next lines we would like to prepare you in the best way for the adventure of your life. You are either about to book one of the most beautiful types of travel, or you have already done so. The biggest difference between our type of holiday and a general package tour is that you are actively involved. Riding a motorcycle is one of the best things in life. At least for us bikers. The focus of the trip is motorcycling through unique landscapes. We have designed the programs in such a way that both riding fun and experience are present in sufficient quantity. Team spirit and adaptation in the group are absolutely necessary just as you need to bring a certain basic fitness and experience so that we can reach the destination together happy and healthy. If you have any doubts about your health, fitness or experience levels, please contact us beforehand. We want to achieve the best holiday experience for you too. The daily stages are on average 250 - 400 kilometers long. That sounds a lot, but it can't be compared to the same route in Europe, considering that there are often 80 kilometers without passing through a town and a whole day without traffic lights during the program. There are also hardly any traffic jams. We are rarely in the saddle for more than five hours throughout the day. We reach our daily destination between 4 - 6 p.m., depending on the season. Depending on the weather and daily temperatures, it can happen that we have to leave a little earlier or reach our daily destination later. However, if we want to experience a picture book sunset with full intention, it will be a little later. |

| Insurance: |
| We generally recommend that you obtain a travel cancellation insurance. |

If the 1/2 double room is not available at that very moment, then we will confirm a single room first. As soon as we have a booking for the second half of the room, we will immediately credit you the single room surcharge. |

| Important info about "The American Dream" tour: |
| The "American Dream" tour consists of three parts. |
| The first part is the "Silver & Golden State" tour. Here, guests will depart together with guests from "The American Dream" group. Eight days later, as the group approaches Laughlin, guests are guided back to Las Vegas by a second team based in Las Vegas for motorcycle return and return flight or individual extension. |
| The second part is the "Best of Wild West" group. Our Las Vegas team welcomes the guests of this tour on the second Sunday of the "American Dream" tour. On the next day the pickup of the motorcycles takes place as well as the scheduled ride to the meeting point with the rest of the group (The American Dream) outside Laughlin. |
| The third and longest part with a total of 20 days is "The American Dream" group. |
| This allows us to manage the contingents in the best possible way and thus make it possible to carry out the tours almost 100%. |
| Smaller groups on request are also possible. Simply send us your request, and not only concerning this issue. Send your questions before booking, before the start of the trip or during the tours. So far, no question has remained without an answer. By sending your questions we can adjust ourselves individually to your needs. |
| For an additional charge, an extension of several days is possible. If you are considering something like this, please contact us. |

| Important to know about the HD® Tri-Glide® Ultra/Polaris® Slingshot® |
| You are also welcome to book an HD® Tri-Glide® Ultra/HD® Freewheeler™ for this tour. The procurement of the machines of this type are basically bookable on request. We recommend that you book as early as possible, as these types of motorcycles are not available in abundance and will be transported there especially for you.

Alternatively, you can book a Polaris® Slingshot®, which is much safer to operate than the trike. The extra charge for an HD® Tri-Glide® Ultra/HD® Freewheeler™ on this tour is 2400 EUR.

Description
The American Dream is one of the best motorcycle tours in North America. Every day is organized separately and, on the way, each experience chases the next.
Let us guide you through a country of superlatives and contrasts: Mountain ranges, lakes, barren deserts, legendary roads, the Pacific coast, famous natural wonders, national parks, Indian culture, Western romanticism, and the glittering world of the big cities constantly alternate.
Las Vegas, San Francisco, Highway 1, historic Route 66, the Grand Canyon N.P., Monument Valley as well as Bryce Canyon, and Yosemite N.P. are only a small part of the seemingly endless sights along the way.
