If anyone is into motor bike riding I would recommend renting a bike in Sri Lanka and touring around. My friend and I rented bikes in Negombo and toured Sri Lanka for two weeks.
Out of all the bike renting companies we found Negombo Motorbikes to be the fairest and nicest guy out of the lot.

A great scenic drive. I recommend heading south on the ocean side. Allow LOTS OF TIME. We took a week from San Francisco to LA and we could have taken a year. There are lots of very good and cheap motels along the way so no need to bother about booking ahead.
Just make EARLY STARTS and make the stopovers by mid afternoon for the best choices. We never spent as much as $100 per double per night including breakfast and inclusive of all taxes for often quite luxurious accommodation. Driving in USA can be a pleasure rather than a chore and on Hwy 1 very few people are in a hurry.
