Headed to Las Vegas this week for a little R&R. I rented a GoldWing 1800 for a day (it's no GS, but it'll have to do...), and am looking for a good 4-6 hour ride for my GF and me.
Any recommendations?

Ended up riding Kyle Canyon/Mt Charleston - would highly recommend.
Also took the mandatory trip down to the Hoover Dam.
My remorse over cheating on my GS with a Goldwing is waning. Slowly. -
Apparently I missed this thread twice.
Glad you had a good time. How did you like the 'wing? Pics?Comment

That new bridge is awesome:
A young engineer who works for me is heading down there now. He is renting a Ferrarri 430 for a grand a day.Last edited by 850 Combat; 05-22-2014, 06:09 PM.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

He is renting it for a day. He can do whatever he wants, for 100 miles. He is 28, and livin' the dream.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

The Wing was a beast. 2-up, full of gas and gear, I figure she weighed around 1,450 lbs. That said, she was a dream to ride. Bells & whistles everywhere. Really nice on the freeway, and at altitude, where older bikes can yearn for fuel injection.
The la-z-boy rear seat is so far back though, that 2-up in slow maneuvers is a little squirrelly. All in all, well worth the $140 I paid.
Rode on a high wind advisory day, and I will say I missed my GS a ton in the nasty crosswinds. The Wing has no holes! The thing's a sail. So in swirling 40-50mph desert winds, it kind of behaves like a panel van. But...., a panel van with 1800 cc's and a really, really good stereo.
Pics soon.Comment

Nice pics. Looks a lot warmer there now than at New Year's.
There is a little more to posting images, but you can get started reading this:

but using Photobucket, Imageshack or other image hosting program seems to be the way to go for posting multiple images.Last edited by BigD_83; 05-29-2014, 09:41 PM.'83 GS650G
