Starting off the morning in Reno, we saw that one of the bikes parked next to ours had been tampered with. \u00a0The ignition on the Victory machine had been stripped out as if somebody had attempted to ‘hot-wire’ it. \u00a0We looked over our bikes and were relieved to not see any damage done to them. \u00a0We set off across the desert for Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
I feel incredibly sad for the people who fly into Las Vegas. \u00a0The absolute most gorgeous riding in that area is through Death Valley. \u00a0Despite such a menacing name, the temperatures weren’t all that bad. \u00a0It hovered right around 80 degrees. \u00a0Lake Walker and the surrounding desert were mesmerizing. \u00a0Absolute motorcycle bliss.<\/p>\n
Along the way, I struck up a conversation with a man at a gas station. \u00a0He was riding a 2015 Road Glide. \u00a0His name was Rick but in the motorcycle club he was in he went by ‘Ricochet’. \u00a0Nice guy, from Nashville, belongs to a christian motorcycle club. \u00a0They do a lot of fundraising for different charities and help others who are struggling with addiction and help them find God. \u00a0We talked to Ricochet for about 45 minutes at the gas station. \u00a0He asked if he could tag along with us for the day seeing as how we were all on our way to Vegas. \u00a0Just like that, we became three.<\/p>\n
As we rolled into Vegas, the scenery stopped, the heat set in and the expenses increased. \u00a0I’ll never understand why people take their children to Las Vegas as part of a family vacation…. \u00a0Especially with knowing what prostitution is (Human Trafficking) and that Las Vegas is the number one area for young boys and girls to be trafficked into the sex trade………<\/p>\n
