Title: Any one want to join on road trip from SF to VEGAS ? Post by: bwebbster on April 02, 2009, 10:26:37 AM Just got the time off work and planning a last minute trip to Vegas next week. Plan is to leave on my 916 early weds (april 8th) morning...ride down to bakersfield (spend the night)...then ride to death valley (spend the night) and ride into vegas on day 3 by midday. Staying there til monday April 13 am and riding back.
Going to meet a friend in vegas but other then that Im gonna be solo so Im trying a long shot to see if anyone else wants to ride down...you know, the buddy system. Let me know, thanks, Bill Title: Re: Any one want to join on road trip from SF to VEGAS ? Post by: jimboecv on April 02, 2009, 03:39:19 PM 916? Ouch.
Welcome to the dmf, btw. Title: Re: Any one want to join on road trip from SF to VEGAS ? Post by: duckwrench13 on April 02, 2009, 11:06:02 PM 916? Ouch. It's not that bad. I rode my 916 from San Francisco to Portland (including total charging system melt down [bang] and repair @ Acme rocket Bike/Stefano Motors, but that's another story). It's not quite an ouch, but more of a slit your Achilles tendon and pour boiling alcohol over it, while tying off yer nuts so tight they go numb and send jolts of pain through your torso. Yeah, it's kind of like that. [cheeky] [laugh] [laugh] Title: Re: Any one want to join on road trip from SF to VEGAS ? Post by: jimboecv on April 03, 2009, 11:41:38 AM don't forget ouchie-wrist.
i couldn't ride my 748 for 1/2 hour without crying but I'm a big fat pussy. Title: Re: Any one want to join on road trip from SF to VEGAS ?

[thumbsup]
