Default Heading to Vegas

Been there before but this time with another couple that ride, going at the end of March. We only have four days so were renting bikes for an all day ride on Saturday. Been looking though the posts and checking out houses and condos but it looks like it will just be Hooters for us. Looking forward to it, it's -1 right now[:'(]

Thanks,

As far as helmets go 2 points on your licence for not having one, oh and impound.

I think they will supply helmets. If you don't mind strangers sweat. If ya head to Arizona like Oatman,AZ no helmets. I think that is whereVegasbruce is in his sig. Don't recall that building but Oatman is a cool ride. Gotta stop at Cracker Barrel for grub or Whataburger.

Las Vegas Harley will supply helmets but I am not sure about Eaglerider.

VegasBruce sig pic is from Nelson, NV if I am not mistaken. Nelson is south of Boulder City, NV. He can clarify though.

Oatman is a great place though and a fun ride if you take it from Kingman, AZ and then on down into into Oatman (or vice-versa).

Not really, that was a trip we took after breakfast in Bolder City. I thoughtthe goldmine tour was worth the price of addmission. Then off to Cottonwood Cove for lunch. It basicly was a ride to nowhere in particular.
