USA west coast bike tour advice needed

Just to add. If you do Brice Canyon then Zion NP is a must as well. Personally I prefer it over Brice Canyon but that is just my opinion.
Take the hike to the bottom of Brice canyon and you will find yourself in "Road Runner" country. Just remember that you will also have to hike back up as well.
Nowhere in your life will you see anything as spectacular as Utah and what is called Red Rock Country.
A lifetime of memories.
Skip Las vegas and try to stay in Mesquite. Cheaper and at the gateway to Utah.
Unless you are camping, Springdale is the place to stay. Just outside Zion NP. Have the Bumbleberry pie at the Bumbleberry inn. Stay elsewhere though.
Don't expect "Gourmet dining" in Utah. Mormons can be "plain folk" and so is the food. Blah!
I hope this is almost clear, but I just finished a huge Alsatian Choucroute meal and a lot of good German wine.
Cheers.

Jude, (the missus.) has read and approved tis message. If 'The Dwarf' says he's right? He's right!!!! :D

Mesquite is good shit. Vegas? It's like pulling gold plated barbed wire out of your arse, but less fun.

Regarding "gourmet dining," there's one place: http://www.cafediablo.net/ in Torrey, on SR24, a mile or so past the upper end of SR12 (a "don't miss" road). Food's really good. I was there at the grand opening with a bunch of BMW riders. Walked up the road from the Chuckwagon motel (nice rooms) with a tall glass of Bourbon -- restaurant didn't like that :x

I must admit to not knowing the current dollar sterling exchange rate, just a guess. It's a lot better than I thought. I just wish it was like it was when I was in New York a few years ago, about $1.90 to the pound. :)
How on earth do you get vehicles to run right on that watered down stuff?

It is not that are gas is watered down, we use a different system of rating octane.
Our 91 is like your 98.
I like Vegas, it is a fun place to visit. But it depends on what you want.
 
Thanks to everyone for their advice, we departed for San Francisco on september 7th and returned last Sunday 24th september. We had a fantastic time, as usual the americans we met were very friendly and hospitable. The Harley electraglides were well suited for the trip, so comfortable and the cruise control was useful, but the bikes were a bit of a handful on the twisty mountainous roads. Some awesome scenery and roads, any Brits considering riding the south west USA should do it.
We made a daily blog of our journey http://www.wildhogstour2011.blogspot.com

Hope you find it interesting.
