Well this is gonna be my 1st big multi-day ride. Using Laughlin as a direction to head. Will be leaving on the 23rd for a 9 day adventure. Going from Texas to Albuquerque, NM, visit with a uncle. Then to Flagstaff, AZ. Wanna ride around there for a couple of days and see the grand canyon and other places I will be looking up this next week. I wanna hit Laughlin on Wed. or Thurs. then over to Cali and up to Vegas. Then I wanna hit Utah and Colorado for my trip back. Maybe catch the Grand Canyon from the north side. Then make my way back down to Texas. Hopefully i can do that in 9 days. If not the boss will be getting a phone call on Sunday saying I may be a little late. Looking up links ya have posted at rides and must see places. I will do the weekend at Laughlin next year. Just being on a bike for less then a year now I just wanna ride. Also gotta look up helmet laws and all that good stuff for all them places. Man its gonna be a busy week on the pc next week. Hope the boss aint looking for much productivity.

Ride safe!
P.S. California and Nevada require helmets, Arizona does not.

I start off on Tuesday and have fun for the week.
Wednesday is a great day to look around the vendors. Less crowd and easier to shop. The other days are great to ride and see shows.

Totally agree. Just meant that all the vendors are setup and the bulk of the activities start up on Thursday albeit the crowds are definitely much bigger.
Gonna mount the rack today and do a complete fluids change next weekend. I haven't been on a road trip with you guys since Vegas '09, so I'm ready!
