    Vegas baby

    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!

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    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....

    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!
