 :-D
  It always seems like it would be good idea!
That's kind of what it looks like up here in the spring when you attempt to get a ride in before a total thaw...
  At least you can say you've done it!  Snow in Vegas :?    How often does that happen? 
the rest of the country has been pummeled by those storms as well.
   Thanks for taking the time to post up :-)
   Take Care Pegger, the dez will be thawed out soon, and you should be back in business.

Thanks as always Friar!

We didn't know that it had snowed at Jean although we had heard some reports about snow in different parts of Vegas. We thought what the hell let's try it! Wrong! It snows about every other year here in Vegas but usually doesn't stick around long. In the upper elevations it snows quite a bit and there is actually a small ski resort up at Mount Charleston about 30 minutes from Vegas. Everyone always thinks of Vegas as hot but it gets pretty cold here too! Went riding today and it was 29 degrees. That's cold enough for me!

D**N, I have to bring ice tires to Vegas?  :| Glad I have the Christini.  I hope a warming trend is on the way. The strip will be fun anyway.

Im moving down to Bakersfield in the next 6 months. I wonder how far away that place is. I heard about some place called jawbone ..... tehachabie national forest I think. I'm also building an k5af. Would be sweet to hook up and ride with you.... imagine to af500s ripping together  :mrgreen:
