Default Vegas Run - pics and stuff

Hi all. Started Wednesday at 4:00 AM and made it to Denver at around 10:00 PM. Left Denver 6:30 AM Thursday and arrived in Las Vegas at around 7:30 PM. 1800 miles in two days. It was cold as heck leaving Chicago, but by the time I hit Nebraska it cleared up and the rest of day one was just pretty boring - mostly hauling *** and looking forward to going through the mountains. Day two was way cool. Lots and lots of 80 mph sweepers with awesome scenery and plentiful sunshine. I think I finally got 'er broke in. Got some nice pics to share for anyone interested. More to come.... I still have to get back home by Wednesday.

If that don't qualify, I don't know what would. Beautifull scenery and some great pics. Ride Safe and get home to the warm Chicago weather.

1000 in 24 hours or 1500 in 36 hours are the beginning points and they go up from there. Need start and end witness forms and time stamped receipts from gas stops.

Nice pics. Ride safe.
