    Speed limit ++ on way out, plus no traffic what so ever, and that ROAD was outstanding!

    Quote from Mike in Victoria BC

    I'm curious (for my own future rides). How many miles/kilometers was that for you in how many days? How did you break it up?

    2200 ish miles... tired and don't remenber exactly.


    Day 1 i drove 1.5 hours and then installed my new Bullet Speed top


    Then drove till about 7:30. Road got icy so I got the hell off it.


    Then i was on the road each day about 9, (9:30 in Wichita cause it was raining ice pellets and they suck)
    Shut down about 8 except for last night. Weather was so awesome, I drove till about 10, lol, even made a wrong turn in Albuquerque. Made Bugs proud, lol


    I think when we worked it out, averaged about 600 miles a day.... regular stops, gas, quick food and bio runs

    Quote from Br4hm4

    Holy crap...how long are you going to be in Vegas? lol. Also, sent you a friend request on Facebook. I'll shoot you my number over PM sometime next week. Looks like I should be showing up on Wednesday around 1230pm...but this is Spirit Airlines...so I'll either crash or be really late.

    really just 5 days. Arrive on Monday, wife gets in on Friday, we head out to the Grand Canyon on Saturday, then down to Temecula till the 18th. She flies out of Vegas again, I stay overnight then head for home on the 19th.


    Back in Manatoba in around the 22nd.


    It is my 20th year and got my bonus week of holidays. Put them in for this one. Heh, I only work 4 days in April, lol

    i will just miss this one but you should definitely try to do Red Rock AND if you can The Valley of Fire. The Valley of Fire is about 40 min north on the 15- amazing scenery and great roads. Red Rock is real close and you can probably see it from your hotel room. It’s a one way road so no on coming traffic- have fun!!

    I would imagine the group rides will take us around those areas I am sure. Either way, I am looking forward to some heat, lol

    I have these on my Sling. Mounted them in the rear to project the "Bat Signal" down on the ground when the signals are activated.


    They burnt out in a year.... but they looked cool as hell when they worked

  • Our Slingshots are safe !

    Grew up on a 5 spd with a trans axle split shifter and an old International with 2 shift sticks in an "H" configuration.... forget what it was called.


    Yeah.... a simple 5 spd is easy peezy
