Default Vegas weather

This beautiful Vegas weather is givin me the riding fever. My wife and I rented an Ultra for two days and rode 500 miles. I've only got three days left here, then it's back to Michigan and 30 deg. temps. It will be a month before I get mine out at this rate. O well ,some riding is better than nothing !:

It's sad you had to go to Vegas and rent a bike to be able to ride.

Looks like Vegas is the Spring training for riding like Arizona is the Spring training for baseball

We had a great time. Road through the Valley of Fire the first day. The second day the town of Oatman and a small portion of Route 66. I was thinking , well there's two for the bucket list.

Welcome to Nevada winters. The real test comes when you get here in the summer and still want to ride.

I don't think I'd like that much, my stepson says it's like riding with oven fan blowing in your face. I stopped into the Harley dealer and bought him a set of mid frame air deflectors and installed them on his 14 SG. I hope that helps him some !

I lived in Yuma, AZ for a while before moving to Nevada. That area gets some real heat. Makes Nevada easy to deal with. But Personally, I'd rather ride in an oven then take the winter off while sitting in an ice box.

We all make choices

Enjoy the break!

Sounds like you had a blast! When the ice age ends here in PA, I'll be riding again.
