Has anyone rode to vegas? If so how long did it take? I'm thinking of visiting a buddy out there and thought it would be a good ride. In the spring of course.

My boy Lambertson did it once (on an F4), to come meet us out there. He was tired, but said it was tolerable. A nights sleep, and he was back in true "Vegas Form".

If I remember right, it took him somewhere between 8 and 9 hours.
(Which is hauling, and straight through.)

Anyway... Enjoy!

a comfy, casual ride will take you about 12 hours. i've done the stretch many times as a ironbutt segment with considerably less time. it is all about stamina....

Well i can understand that. Time would not be a issue. Vegas is Vegas....lol I just wanted to do the ride. Stay a few nights and then take off again. So basically 2 days off from work....lol.

I rode to Vegas last September with my step Dad.

We took the long route through South West Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.

We covered around 2,500 miles over 7 days including 3 days staying in Vegas.

It was nice having a trailer attached to his Harley to carry all the comforts of home in!

I plan on going again this year, it's a great ride with an awesome destination!
