    Hey Chaser. We did an Eagle Riders tour through the Rockies two years ago. If you go to their website they have several different packages that may suit. If you search on here you will see a thread I put up after the trip. We were a group of eight. It suited us well and was all set up/ Just had to get to Canada. We hadn't been there before that so it was easy as. Trip was about two weeks with bikes and accomodation all sorted. Bikes were a mix of Roadkings and Ultras.

    I did it in 14. After a lot of research we done it ourselves. Hired bikes from eagle rider in Vancouver, done the usual,whistler, kamloops, Banff, Vancouver island Island oh and into Alberta for a couple days.

    Was great, booked nothing, always managed to get good accomadation, prices very similar to here.

    Had a rough itinerary before we left but didn't want to be governed to anything, great trip would go back in a heartbeat, great pubs, friendly people and roads are unbelievable.

    Canada is expensive to live and travel compared to USA but has some awesome scenery and roads, The Rocky's in the USA also have some great roads and scenic parks also, taking in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming,& Montana a cheaper look ?
