The first time I rode to and through Death Valley I approached it from the south. From Las Vegas if you head south on I-15 it will not be long before you get to the Blue Diamond Highway, NV 160. That takes you over Mountain Springs Summit (elevation 5490 feet) and onto Pahrump, NV home of the famous Chicken Ranch. From Pahrump you can either take NV 372 & CA 178 (both the same road) to Shoshone, CA and enter the southern end of the 133... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72286 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:01:53 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72283/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72283
When you say you would ride 'to and through' Death Valley, what route exactly are you talking about? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Guns90) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72283 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 09:12:26 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72126/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72126
I was thanking about waiting until I got there and checking around to a few different locations to check prices. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (VeteranToPolice) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72126 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:04:52 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72123/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72123
You are welcome. I think you even have a choice of more than one place you can rent an ElectroGlide in Las Vegas. EagleRiders is the outfit I rented one from, but I think you can also get them from the Harley dealer too.

The one thing I would caution you about EagleRiders is some of the locations will give you a credit, but you cannot get your money back if you make a reservation and it turns out the weather is bad or you have to cancel your trip altogether.

Thats what I am going to. I am going to rent a Electroglide since it will be me and my wife. I figured it would be the most comfortable bike for her. thanks for the advice!! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (VeteranToPolice) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72112 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:04:59 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72096/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72096
The thing I liked about the 2000 ElectroGlide was it has a stock seat with all-day comfort. Not many bikes have that, but an out-of-the-box comfortable seat is really important if you want to rent a bike and ride it several hundred miles a day.

The thing I liked about the 2007 Road King is it is heavy and withstands wind gusts very nicely. I remember getting hammered with some very strong gusts when coming out from behind a mountain 25 miles west of Las Vegas and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72096 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:20:50 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72092/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72092 feeds@yuku.com (jense) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72092 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:47:29 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/72083/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html#reply-72083 Jermey,

Twice I have rented Harleys from EagleRiders in Las Vegas. The first time I rode through Death Valley on a 2000 ElectroGlide Standard and more recently I started towards Lake Mead and Hoover Dam on a 2007 Road King, but the heavy traffic had me turning back to riding in the desert in Nevada and California west of Las Vegas. I rode over 300 miles each time and had a blast both times.

There are about 6 or 7 motorcycle rental companies in Las Vegas including the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/72083 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:03:46 GMT <![CDATA[ Riding around Vegas????? ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/10482/t/Riding-around-Vegas-.html
They have a place that you can do 1 day rentals. I plan on doing that, and making a run down to the Hoover Dam and also to the Grand Canyon on the same day, using the bike. Anyone have any tips for riding out there, traffic wise. Or even if I should stay away from the bike out there,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (VeteranToPolice) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/10482 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:26:28 GMT
