Day One Ride is Done…..

Route for Day One-August 3, 2011

[findmespotmap v=3 start=”2011-08-01 15:00:00″ end=”2011-08-04 07:00:00″ id=”0-2100758″ type=t sv=yes wx=station]

This was out first gas stop in Barstow where we discovered that my bag was just barley hanging on to the bike. It was time to break out some rok-straps and do it right! Since Shai isn’t a little guy anymore, had to take this shot….

John, Sharon, Akzl and Big Steve will leave tomorrow morning at o-dark thirty and will be heading to St. George UT, which is where Shai and I will hook up with them on Thursday.

Shai and I arrived in Las Vegas at 2:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, 281 miles from OC. At Stateline it was 102 degrees, but with our misters we were ok.

45 minutes later we checked into our hotel, Tuscany Suites and Casino (thanks Song, great place!) and headed straight for the pool, where I enjoyed a much needed beer and cooling down.

After the pool we went for a short walk where I discovered that this casino is right next door to a “Gentlemen’s Club”.

Shai, aren’t you tired yet and ready to go to bed??

A bit later we will go out and see what is happening in Sin City.

Tomorrow will be a short ride and we will meet the rest of the gang in St. George

    Oops there just happens to be a strip club next to my hotel…..yeah Jimmy some people that don’t know you well might thing that is a coincidence…….NOT, remember Juarez!!!

  • Jimmyv:

    Lol, do you also remember that door?
    Sharon saved me that night…..

  • Hadassah:

    LOL, Shai’s a night owl. Sorry Jim. Glad you boyz are off to a good start:)

  • Dean:

    Everything looks good!

  • janniev:

    You’ve really styled up with your lodgings since the first ride back in ’95, I’d guess. But some things never change…just happens to be a club next door? Aw…such luck.

    I’m not a gambler, so Vegas doesn’t hold much appeal to me, but those pools sure look inviting. Who needs anything else??

  • Dave Chiurazzi:

    You know Shai has more game than Jimmy V…he can’t wait for Jimmy to leave…Do they accept AARP cards at the club?
    Once you get to St. George, Hadassah won’t have to worry anymore..that is of course until he meets up with Johnny, then all bets are off! Time to break out the firearms just in case any of them Al Queda is following you! Jimmy – you are a true american hero – keep on rollin’!

  • janniev:

    Spot doesn’t seem to be working – there’s only 7 messages and your’re not even to Barstow!! How can I have a vicarious trip if you don’t turn your toys on ??
