Saturday VEGAS RIDE - what a stellar day!!

[fulltilt]

Just returned from a great day's riding with a terrific group of people. Had about 30 show up at the designated meeting point in the AM. Split into two groups with a 'less-gonzo' crew heading off to take a more civil ride.

The rest of us, some 22 people or so - two thirds riding Busas - headed towards Death Valley to exercise our bikes the way they were designed to be ridden.

We did streches of 25-50 miles between stops gathering up again after spreading out through the desert. Took a bunch of pictures (mine will be downloaded and posted early next week), but so did many others.

Kinda sucked that my video camera didn't seem to be capturing images as nicely as it did last year, but Twisted got some good video - very dramatic video, in fact......

I will put something together and try and share some of the images and video I shot off the bike that will introduce you to some of the characters on this (and other boards).

Just a great time today. God, there is nothing like slamming through the desert devastating the open road in a spectacular setting.

I was supposed to make that trip also. Our yearly turnaround was moved up to April and scheduled for a 28-day outage. Turnarounds really suck, because that's the only time of year where your vacation or off-time means absolutely nothing. That is unless a family member dies. Kinda pisses me off because now I won't be able to kick it with the West Coast family until Laguna '05. Since our family reunion is scheduled for July, then that makes Laguna '04 out of the question.

BA, you missed out on a fun filled weekend. I have never in my life seen my speedo just sit readings of over 120. It was like crusing at 120 was more like just crusing at 60. Watching Nick, Fulltilt, Dano and Denis just tear it up like there was no tomorrow was the greatest thing I have ever done on two wheels.

cant wait for the next one.

Thanks man. Just wanted to make sure we all got to hit the roads I was hoping to cover. Great group of folks to ride with, that is for sure.

One day when the finances are in check and the bills are paid, I'll be able to make it out there with you guys. In the meantime, keep to pics/info coming so I can imagine....

Dang, I didn't know Rickster puts it down like that...

But I'll be damned if I miss out on this one next year. If the Good Lord says the same... I'll be there.
