The BB cracks "60"....WooHoo!!!!!

My gambling theory is holding true, I'm even more up than last night. I've never gambled before in my life, but I've taken to it like a duck to water. Tomorrow I carve up the canyons on a fatboy with a bloke called Spencer who I have paid $100 to be my friend for the day. I rode the Harley today, it is beautifully strong but a bastard to turn. So.... gambling, Harleys, and I bought lingerie from Fredricks of Hollywood. Does anyone else think it is time I left Vegas?

Hell NO....ya haven't seen Wayne Newton yet, have ya?!?

[Heidi1]

No sign of Wayne Newton, our heads might have actually EXPLODED if we had!!!! I'm awake, it is 5am here and I'm going RIDING! (of a fashion). WHo cares, two wheels good/ four wheels bad.

I pick up the fatboy tomorrow, pictures to follow

Huh? Is Simmo in Vegas?

I pick up the fatboy tomorrow, pictures to follow. Buggered if I know how I am going to steer the thing, but that is tomorrow's problem![/size] Tonight was all about the gambling!!




[size=xx-small]I don't have a problem.... I don't have a problem....

I expect to see a picture of a fatboy with a "Australian Hayabusa Club" sticker on it. - put it somewhere inconspicuous . . . like over the speedo - they're not needed on one anyway. - hope you're having a ball!

I do love a touch of the thread hi-jackeration.

A couple of photos from today of belting through the canyons on a harley. If ever you are coming out this way, you must do it, it is the best fun. Turns out I'm not bad on a Harley!! The bloke who took me out told the person who owned the shop that I was one of the best riders he has seen (CLEARLY they all ride Harleys in this town).

My fatboy. It was a 2011 model and caused a bit of a ruckus everywhere I took it. Beautiful bike, matt black paint job, fuel injected, nice and strong and oddly nimble. I did scrape a running board, but I suspect that is normal.

   

I got quite comfortable on the straight bits (there were corners!) so I started taking photos with the camera I had in my pocket. That is my mate Spencer up ahead in Red Rock Canyon, he took me out for the day.

   

And then he took me to a biker bar. I could hear the banjos, it was in the middle of nowhere on an unmarked road, surrounded by the rusted carcasses of old cars and bikes. It was pitch dark inside and all blokes. It was BRILLIANT!!!!! Spencer made me stand under the sign.

   

So the bike? Surprisingly nimble and gratifyingly strong. LOADS of torque and very deliverable power. I would hate to have to pull up in a hurry, the brakes weren't great and it was a thundering beast of a thing. Also, the clearance was woeful, but once Spencer realised I was comfortable, we started playing through the bends in the mountains. That might not happen all that often.

Lucky I found this out on the last day, otherwise I would have done nothing but hire a bike every day and go out exploring!

Tell the truth, that 2nd photo is some kind of trick chroma key background. Just beautiful.
