I've done the party thing. Real life Hang Over life dominated all of the bachelor parties of my 20's. As much as I love making a weekend in Vegas, it take 8 years off my life. I'm past it and they are all sort of blurred together these days.

My friend Ricky is getting married next month and we wanted to make a trip that toned down the partying for something that stands out in the memory bank. These guys and I basically have our friendship based on our love for motorcycles since we were teenagers. Why not ride across the desert from Cali, to Nevada, back to Cali and more Nevada?

When rented some bikes from this place out west. Unfortunately, there was a limited selection of bikes to choose from, but so I wound up picking this cruiser. They were on the sport touring bikes, which weren't a real problem until I drug my foot petal trying to keep up with them down a windy mountain road. I guess my paranoia kicked in, because I just couldn't keep up at that point. Harley's aren't the best for hugging corners. I would like to have been on my own bike and running a little faster through those deadly drop offs.



Insert Wild Hogs reference joke here....



Lake Tahoe is one of the most Epic places I have visited. Right up there next to Big Sur. Tahoe, with it's crystal clear water, rock formations, beautiful mountains and vast desert landscapes. Hard to believe that there are things in this world that really look like this. When you wind around a corner and the whole landscape opens up, you really have to get out of your car or off your bike to ingest everything that is in front of you.





You can see clearly 18' to the bottom of the lake.

After a couple of the days we hiked down to some of the beaches. We made it down to the water pretty often, yet never managed to get in. It's unfortunate, but it never really worked out. Not sure three clothed dudes would have been accepted at the nude beach.

















This is it for now. I have a load of video that I still need to go through and cut together. Maybe that will be a bonus wedding gift.
