Glad you made it okay, and you eventually had fun.

I'm a very recent transplant to Vegas (that was my second weekend in town) and was planning on going. But dangit I was having so much fun cruising up and down the strip with all the other riders that I kept doing uturns on LV Blvd instead of right turns into into the Cashman Center. I went through 3 tanks of gas and had a blast.

If anyone cruised the strip Saturday or Sunday, I was the guy on the black pearl Super Glide that still had paper tags.

If I fell in with your group, thanks for the riding company.

Great video, Great lesson to learn and no one was hurt. The weather actually turned out OK this last weekend. I just ran up to Calico for a quick luch run.

Take care.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Those bikes are unbelieveable. It amazes me that people can build bikes like that. And the paint schemes are as impressive as the builds.

Thanks for the pics! Glad you didn't crash, that was an excellent analysis of your "incident". I was started to sweat just reading it!
WTH is the yellow thing at 3:41?

so true brotha, i was looking at these bikes and the first thing came to mind was, "how do people afford these custom bikes?" some of these bikes were out of this world expensive. the Tap Out bike had a 15 thousand dollar paint job... crazy!
