YAY!!!!!!!!! I did it I rode my bike to the hoover dam for the 1st time!!! it was about 40 mile round trip, technically my first time on some twisties too!!! I went 30-35mph cause I'd never done it before and it was SUPER twisty, it was a BLAST!!!! we went in the very early morning, must have been around 6:30ish before the sun was fully out and blasting with heat, was a great morning ride. Oh an the new bridge is in the background too!!!

AND!!!!!!!!! I got my bike up to 72mph!!! and got passed by two cops LOL!!! It was a super successful day! I feel like I learned a lot.

I just got back from a trip to Reno last week. Took the 6R, was a long ride from where I live, but was worth the time and experience. I'd like to go to the Hoover Dam sometime, in that case, there are a lot of places that I would like to see..

Congrats on the experience! Be safe, stay within your limits and always remember to keep the rubber side down!!

Two things come to mind here, you need a more original name for her, and you need to ride more!

Sounds like u had fun!! How many miles was your trip? I always ride within my limits that's something I always try to stay cautious about and never get over confident id rather ride smart for the long haul than stupid for a short time!!

Hey Fazer, used to live in Vegas! Moved out in 2005 and have been meaning to visit. I know Sampsel and Preston, the photographers, need to go visit!

I live in Orange county now, I have been looking at buying rental property out there. Build up equity so I can get a house out here lol.

My buddy keeps hounding me about going, he just moved from Vegas in October. If we ever get around to it, maybe we'll put together a group ride!
