Norwegians on Harleys visit Route 66 museum

The Pontiac (Ill.) Daily Leader reports:

Ten Norwegians on their way to Los Angeles aboard seven Harley-Davidson motorcycles visited Pontiac's Route 66 museum Thursday afternoon, getting a look at some Illinois aspects of the highway they will travel on their 10-day journey.

"Route 66 all the way," one of the members of the group – friends who share a liking of motorcycles and the famous road – told a reporter shortly after their arrival in Pontiac, their gleaming, rented-in-Chicago Harleys arranged in a neat line in the Main Street parking lot south of old city hall.

The rest of the story is here. 

The funny part is, it's not that big of a deal. When I'm out on the road, hardly a day goes by when I don't encounter a European tourist in a car or motorcycle seeking their kicks on Route 66. And there will be many more motorcycle tours before the summer ends.
