A month earlier means snow in higher elevations including. I thought the time was just perfect. Next time plan for a different route back - Not I15 South - and you wont hit the heat through Vegas...	fxstein OFFLINE Moderator Time to Ride! This is VMax! Posts: 6323 Thank you received: 432

You got that right.....109 in Vegas and 115 in Baker:S
That was the ride from Hell or through Hell!

I guess we can ride through Vegas early am, cause not aware of any other route back home.

The photos of the scenery and nature are beautiful. Love to see it 'in the flesh' so to speak! When will you be planning to go on a trip next year?	vmaxbabe OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4409 Thank you received: 1254

Well, for 9 days of riding and about 2200 miles (3500 km) I can bring anything I need in the bags without any external bags. That's what I got this bike for: Long trips on Hwys here in the Wild Wild West.

With 2000cc (120ci) it also pulls pretty good.

Just got home from a 4 day ride ~ 2200 miles; middle part of the ride was from Couer d'Alene to Winnemuca, down Hiway 95, talk about a beautiful part of the world.
