Default LA to Vegas Run

I woke up from my afternoon nap at 2 PM and felt a little bored. So I put on my gears and decided to go to Vegas on my SV650s.

After about 6.5 hours of riding and 4 fuel stops and a 4 by 4 at the In-n-Out on the Strip, I returned home safely. My thighs are sore from gripping the gas tank for 508 miles, my arms are hurting from full race tucks behind the windshield and from fighting the bloody cross wind and attempting to keep the rubber side down, and my ears are still ringing from the wind rushing over the helmet at 80+mph.

Man, what a day.
