Actually, I just sent them an email message proposing just that idea. Curious to see what they say.

The problem is not getting enough people/bikes, it is the strict rules and procedures that have to be followed in order to qualify that is the problem - it takes massive organization to pull it off.

It looks like they are much more organized this year. I am sure they have learned from each previous attempt.

A lot of obstacles to go, but doable.

Going to take the ride out to Paris TX. Got no hotel reservations, just going to wing it. Trip out look for me on I40 going through AZ, NM, & TX. I'm going to try for 3 days (approx. 600 miles/day) but have an extra day just in case. Let's hope we break the record.

Return trip got more time. Looking to hit some bucket list items. Cadillac Ranch, Million Dollar Hwy (weather permitting), Four Corners.

Other suggestions?

Headed out from northern NV tomorrow morning. We got three bikes going. Preregistered and have camp spot reserved at KRiver. Doing the parade then spending a week riding around the area. Going to be nice riding in different terrain for a change.

Watch the parade live https://www.facebook.com/myparistexas/videos/406648046663619. It's about half over now.
A few friends of mine are there and said they've unofficially announced over 4000 bikes.
