I mean, let's be pragmatic. Anybody can see Vegas in a car, but that takes away from the experience. Vegas demands that you take it all in, the sights, the sounds, the smell, all of it. And there's no better way than to do it from the seat of a bike. It's sort of ironic, but a little over 5 years ago when I was living in Spring Valley NV, I was almost killed on a bike when I was rear ended by a driver splitting lanes. The result of that accident looked like this:
Sorry for black & white pic, but it's how the local dealer in Vegas posted the pic in it's monthly newsletter. The rear tire & exhaust were replaced by used parts after the accident. So a few more inches more and I would be no more, but that was then & this is now and life must go on. Do I regret the time & money I spent coming back to PA so many times? Not for a split second. I needed to definitively know if I had any chance of gaining back what I lost in 2002. Now I have my answer, and now I can go back home. PA is now part of my past, but Vegas is my future.
