Co-worker "God you're cranky today."
Me "I am not cranky."
Co-worker "You sure sound it.  Everyone thinks so."
Me "I'm getting cranky becuase everyone keeps accusing me of it."
Kristine "Sweetie . . . you're the only one in the building who doesn't think you're cranky.  Go home."

Why the frown? I would be happy to have somebody tell me to go home. It's sunny outside!!  I think that cranky is just part of your personality. You just have different levels of cranky. You need a road trip to Vegas to uncranky you.

I like your sick and perverted picture.  It makes me feel kinda funny,  like when we use to climb the rope in gym class.

2 days and 2 hours by bike to get there.  Dude that's a long trip . . .  Probably pricey too.

So it sounds great and I loved to go but between needing to take 5 days off from work to really enjoy it and the $$ that I don't have right now I think I'm gonna have to pass.

Maybe next year.

The Portland to Reno portion of the ride is the most fun piece any how... the only thing on the 95 between Reno and Vegas is brothels... not a twisty road to be seen for miles.... it's like a 600 mile straight road. Lame.

Not quite... he said the road from Reno to Las Vegas was "like a 600 mile straight road."

Portland to Vegas is a little over a thousand miles by a fairly direct route through Reno.  Reno is 577 miles just beating down I-5 until NorCal, when you veer east, then the roads get mildly interesting.  Of course, you'd actually want to go over the Cascades somewhere and head down 97, then take back highways once you get south of K Falls.

It'd be a solid 2-day trip by motorcycle if you tried to take any roads more interesting than freeway.

Here's a Google Map going from P-town to Reno, then on to Vegas:
