I know, it sucks that we can t ride our trusty steed on weekends or during the week until next spring. Never fear, there are ways that you can ride year-round! I just got back from Las Vegas and had an outstanding ride through the Mojave Desert, Sheephead Mountain Range and good ol Route 66! About 9 friends of mine and I, rented Harley s from Las Vegas Harley Davidson and rode over 368 miles on a day that was considered a free day ( you know, a day that wasn t filled with work obligations) through the gold mining town of Oatman, Arizona, and back to Las Vegas. This was our 2 nd Annual Trip! We are committed to go on many rides together; I just wish that some of you could go with us! I ll keep you posted of the dates for 2013, so, if you re inclined, you could make arrangements to ride with us! It s a great time!
