Sweet thanks. It's a 4 day trip for us and all we have so far is one night in vegas. Havasu sounds like a good stop. Thanks again

If you have time, Kingman, AZ is a nice stop. Mother Road Harley and the Route 66 museum are good stops.

If you get there on Thursday you can do the loop through Oatman, Kingman, and Golden Valley on Friday. Saturday you can take a ride down river to Havasu and on down to Parker then turn around and come back. Some nice scenery there.

Plan on riding down from Las Vegas to Laughlin and spend a couple of hours there before hitting the road towards to Kingman, Oatman (Route 66), Lake Havasu City where we'll be spending the night there, plan on stopping at Road Runner's Floating Restaurant in Parker for breakfast, then head on for Prescott, Sedona, Bellemont, spending another night in Seligman (Route 66) to Kingman and head back for Las Vegas.

Plan on buying and collecting all HD T-Shirts from the stores in Kingman, Prescott, Sedona and Bellemont.

Getting real excited these days,

Thorey
