First of all, the trip was a blast. Always good to meet up with people from the board!

BA BUSA's crash has been pretty much covered in other threads, so I'll skip a lot of those images.

Rather than put everything up here, I've put everything on my site here.

Here's the highlights:

I took the long way out to Vegas from LA, going through Death Valley. It's about 140 miles extra, but the payoff is roads like this:

The Busa in full touring mode.

Death Valley Junction. The odometer cracked 10K just after this photo.

Gas was hard to come by, and EXPENSIVE in the desert...

The next day, the crew that came out Thursday night rode to Laughlin - a pretty straight shot down 95 until the sweepers that lead down into town.

Wayne's (dl6996) Busa.

Ladies + Gentlemen, the worlds dirtiest Busa. It belongs to Charlesbusa.

It doesn't look too bad from a distance, but get close and the grit shows itself.

Back in Henderson, Gunnybusa had arrived. While he was waiting for us, he won BIG.

Next day - the ride to Death Valley.

The crew. Shortly after this a cop pulled up + yelled for us to slow down. Apperently he spotted us doing "130" on the road into town, but was too busy with something else to deal with us...

We pulled into Shoshone to top off, and the gas prices were going up again
