4.0 out of 5 stars Good Travel Video with a Homespun flavor, November 7, 1999

While technically a motorcycle video of a portion of Route 66, Kirk presents scenery and information useful to anyone planning on traveling through Illinois, whether on Motorcycle or Automobile.

Many motorcycle touring videos are mostly a "Gee, look at me ride and the scenery go by."

Not this one. I have viewed others in this series and found them useful and interesting travel videos too, with enough history of Route 66 thrown in to make it a memorable educational ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Route 66, the Mother Road - and the Video to match!, November 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Riding Route 66 - Illinois [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Kirk's video treatment of Route 66 and its Illinois landmarks and personalities parallels what this historic highway was really all about, and about the people responsible for its many past claims to fame. His homespun easy going style confirms his deep love of this famous road that once connected Chicago and Los Angeles - a love and respect bound to be felt by all who see it. Well produced, narrated and choreographed the program is a "must" for any video library. And if you happen to be into cross country motorcycling, the appeal is an added bonus. Far more than just a "travelogue" the video is an experience long to be remembered. I look forward to his treatments of the remaining states once served by ROUTE 66.

1.0 out of 5 stars UNIMAGINATIVE TRAVEL VIDEO, January 30, 2006

I have many videos that pertain to Route 66. This video is the least imaginative, most poorly edited one I have purchased. The participants in the drive did not "Drive 66" but drove on I-55 and exited to Route 66 to see specific sites. They even managed to include a motorcycle shop commercial along the way. In my opinion, poorly produced.
