The start of our motorcycle road trip! The plan was to meet up in Boron, CA, otherwise known as BFE. I'm going to meet Lance Rushing at the Kramer Junction Roadhouse Restaurant where our old roommate Chad Miller worked (he wouldn't be coming with us though) Boron, CA save file: small medium large | Lance Rushing with the Millers. Boron, CA save file: small medium large | Fry cook extrodinaire! Chad Miller working his magic paying for school. Kramer Junction, CA save file: small medium large | Dropping into Death Valley. Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | I think this is the scene of our coasting contest. We coasted our bike for 14 miles from the top, i had to rev the engine so it wouldn't die as it was getting cold. Yeah, i didn't have the best POS bike in the world : ) Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | So apparently people come here to vacation, and not to gawk at the funny people and rocks like we did. Furnace Creek, Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | A volcanic crater formed with a boom. Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | Lance Rushing posing next to nothing Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | I mean, come'on. We had to pose next to the sign. Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | It looks like a desert but it's cold! I froze my ass off on my sportbike... lance had heated grips on his BMW... that bastard. He did let me ride it though... Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | Hahaha... Lance freezing his ass off cleaning road grime and soot from the burning picnic table off. Haha... i snuck into the resort to get a warm shower. Furnace Creek, Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | Another picture of the resort... a resort for have's, not have-nots like us. We were poor undergrads remember... Furnace Creek, Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | The painted rocks of the desert. Interesting rock/mineral formations out here. Death Valley, CA save file: small medium large | So our 3rd night was supposed to be in Vegas... but we weren't about to spend $59.99 on a hotel room so we kept going... Las Vegas, NV save file: small medium large | The old MGM. This will be a 13 hour motorcycle day. Yeah, my ass hurt. And not just because of the Circus-Circus $2.99 breakfast... Las Vegas, NV save file: small medium large | So we ended up heading back to LA to crash as Quan's parent's house. Unbeknownst to me there was something going on between those two... anyways here we are checking out the floats for the Rose Bowl Parade. Pasadena, CA save file: small medium large | The Honda float. Pasadena, CA save file: small medium large | Lance, the other scruffy Lance, and Quan. Griffith Observatory, CA save file: small medium large | No, that's not their kid.
