Troopers say the man and another tourist who was also on holiday from England were driving their motorcycles on the wrong side of State Route 35 when a truck approached. Vehicles in the UK drive on the left, Americans on the right - as in Europe.
One of the bikers swerved out of the way, the other collided with the truck. Bike and truck went down a steep 30m-high embankment. The biker died on the scene; his name and hometown have not yet been released.
The truck driver was flown to hospital in a serious condition.
