When it's all about the drive - it has to be the Overseas Highway. Also known as U.S. Route 1, the road runs from Key Largo to Key West. The route unrolls like a long dark ribbon in front of you, with immense vistas of turquoise water and paler blue sky stretching endlessly either side of you. What better way to explore this chain of islands than on the back of your own Harley-Davidson? You'll then jump into a convertible and head up the Florida Gulf Coast and experience some of the best beaches in the USA. Grab your Ray Bans and sunscreen and hit the road.

It's time to swap your motorbike for a cool convertible!
