Getting There :
It’s a 4-hour drive from Vancouver to Kamloops on Highway 5 (the Coquihhalla aka Yellowhead Highway). Don’t worry, it’s scenic once you get out of Chilliwack.
Air Canada and Westjet fly from Vancouver or Calgary direct to Kamloops.
Alternatively you can fly into Kelowna (serviced by Air Canada and Westjet) and rent a car for the 2 hour 30 minute drive.

Note from Robin :
Don’t worry if you don’t have biker gear. Eagle Rider also rent leather jackets, chaps, helmets, and wets. Bring gloves though.
Never rode a Harley? Don’t fret, neither had I. The bike is heavy and stable and incredibly forgiving. The large foot plate and soft cushion are ideal for road trips.
There are five bike itineraries and you can’t really go wrong whatever you choose. Summers are hot and dry (usually) and as long as you stay clear of the Trans-Canada traffic is pretty light.
You’ll need a Class 5 (motorbike) license to rent the Harley, a learners license won’t cut it.
Don’t forget to wave when you pass bikers on the highways. Those who do not wave are mostly regarded as tools.
