Vegas 2009 Bike fest and beyon
- From: simmbad

Description:
This year we had planned on riding to Vegas, but Kenny decided to “jump the shark” and crashed a scooter, breaking his hip just 2 weeks before the trip.
So being the kind hearted person I am, I sent Heather over to Kenny’s everyday leading up to the trip to make Kenny got up and walk and teach him how to use one of her old power wheelchair or I would not take Kenny with us because I knew he would not make the drive down unless he could stretch.
Friday Oct 2nd around 2am we load everyone up and head south, Vegas here we come. About 30 minutes into the drive Kenny remembers he forgot his cash at home. “Sorry Kenny no heading back now guess you’re going to have to use the CC or be broke. “ Few miles down the road Kenny yelps in pain, and starts saying he is not going to make it, I tell him I will find a bus stop and he can work his way home, after adjusting the air cushion and taking a pain pill he relaxes.
After one stop for gas and allowing Kenny to stretch his leg, we make Vegas at 9am; we head to the Main Street Hotel and Casino for breakfast, just after 10am we head over to the Cashman’s Center to get an early start at the vendor village.

This is my 3rd year going to Bike Fest, My last 2 trips where 2005 and 2006. I have been to hundreds of bike shows over the years; I always enjoy looking at the bikes, girls, vendor and other bikers. I will say that even thought this year the event seem a bit smaller then years past, there was still a lot to see.
There were custom wheels
Goth girls with gun!
Bikes for the little ones

Food and drinks….just to list a few
After seeing everything we could we headed back to our hotel to check in, clean up, rest and get ready for dinner at the http://www.hofbrauhauslasvegas.com/ , It is October Fest…. Hint if you sign up for the news letter they will send you a free beer coupon. FREE BEER!....Saturday Oct 3rd Beyond Bike Fest, The World’s largest Tattoo Show
Around 11am we head over to the Mandalay Bay Casino. After following the signs for Accessible Parking for over 30 minutes, we finally find a police officer on a bike and ask where the parking is, He has us follow him back down to Valet Parking where there are no signs but rows of empty Accessible Parking.
After we enter the Hotel we follow the signs to the Tattoo show, at the crossroads there is a sign that points up so we find the elevator and go up, where we find another group looking for the Tattoo show, after walking around we (the group) find someone and ask where the show is, and are told it is down on the first floor before you get to the Shark Reef.
Finally we make it to the show. As we start looking at all the Tattoo Artist booths, we see a small group moving toward us, I see the show Promoter and a number of people in suits, not giving it any more thought I went back to checking out the art work.
A few minutes later we are in the middle of a crowd, I look over and see what I had missed before, Sylvester Stallone. We run into the crowd a number of times over the next few hours, Heather and Kenny because of the wheelchairs got to know the security guards around Sylvester Stallone. Heather even got to talk with Mr. Stallone for a few minutes and found out he was showing some artwork to different Tattoo Artists for a new tattoo he wanted to get.
I found a booth selling framed prints, and they had a print of Elvira Mistress of the Dark which I had to get. As I turned around to leave the booth I ran into Sabina Kelley
international pinup model and burlesque dancer. All I can say is WOW; she was very nice to stop for a photo with me. 
Kenny was in heaven at the show, they had Budweiser! And he had ???? l lost count but it was more than 4….
I found a guy to touch up one of my tattoos and at a great price. After spending more the 5 hours at the show we all wanted to get something to eat. So we went back to the Main Street Hotel and Casino for dinner (note I go there a lot).
After dinner we went over to Fremont Street for the free live music and the over head light shows.
Kenny and I went into the Glitter Gulch the only Strip club downtown, because they said no cover, what they don’t say it that it’s a 2 dink min and the drinks are $8.50 no matter what you drink. After our drinks Kenny and I left, the girls seem as broad as we did.Sunday Oct 3rd BugOrama, gun show and home
We checked out of the Hotel and headed out to the Speed Way and BugOrama, we ask the guy at the gate for the Assessable Parking, he tells us he does not know where that is and points us to main parking area, as we pull in I ask another guy about parking and was told to ask the ticket sales people, so we decided that if no one knows where the parking is we should head out.
As we are getting on the freeway we hear about a Gun and Knife show so we head over. I got a photo or 2 before some vendor decide that photos were not allowed enough the Security guard was standing right there watching me. They had a lot of cool thing none of which I could bring home.
So we loaded up for the trip home, after fighting the wind for hours we made it home around 9:30pm,

- From: simmbad

Description:
Saturday morning, we rolled out from Flying J's in Ripon CA, heading west to the frist stop of the day 96 miles away, I alone knowing where and what we are going to see.
Our group, Myself and Heather, Jerry, Kyle and Brooke, Richard, and Jimmy with his daughter Brittany. Missing from the group is Kenny (bearkiller) I will post his story soon.
Our stop is The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, one of the largest and most significant collections of historical military vehicles in the world. The goal is to acquire, restore, and interpret the historical significance of 20th and 21st century military vehicles. Domestic and foreign combat vehicles such as tanks, armored cars, self-propelled artillery, and other technically interesting mobile platforms are the focus of the collection. They also maintain an extensive technical library that describes many vehicles down to the part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery, antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment, inert ordnance, and accessories round out the collection.
There are over 200 vehicles in the Foundation's collection, many of them exceedingly rare. The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation is proud to have in its collection one of the rarest armored vehicles in the world, a fully restored Panther Ausf. A. Only 28 Panthers are known to have survived the war, in conditions ranging from wrecks to fully restored. The MVTF Panther will be one of the six Panthers in running condition.
The tours takes about 2-3 hours, covering 4 football size building, I took 260 photo, you can see them all at myspace page

Re: new bike for husband

Description:
I would say if he is a new rider go with something like the vulcan 900 it has good power but still light and easy to handle if learning. I personally like the VTX1300 and think it would be the way to go if he doesn't mind a little heavier bike. I am 5'10 and around 300lbs. VTX1300 is a great bike with great power and it looks SWEET!!
