Vegas to Zion national park.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m spending the month of August in Montana again. Figured I\u2019d do a fun little week MC trip with the lady on the way out to MT. I considered a week trip from Denver to MT but then thought Vegas to MT had more scenic stuff and national parks.<\/p>\n

So I rented a 2021 Harley Roadking for the week. I wanted to try something different.<\/p>\n

I have a herniated disc L5\/S1 which is annoying. Hopefully it doesn\u2019t act up on this trip. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

Vegas is a great location to start this week road trip but Vegas is disgusting, I won\u2019t be back. Fremont Street was fun for a little bit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as hot as a Tijuana hooker in hell.<\/p>\n

Once we got an hour outside Vegas the scenery became great.<\/p>\n

Initial impressions of the Harley…<\/p>\n

Kickstand makes me nervous.<\/p>\n

Bike sends vibrations through my head on highway which I\u2019m not used to.<\/p>\n

So far the bike is working out great.<\/p>\n

Passenger seat is like a living room sofa.<\/p>\n

Damn the bike is heavy as fuck.<\/p>\n

Clutch is a cable not hydraulic, and cable feels like it\u2019s gonna snap.<\/p>\n

Transmission is pretty bad. Finding neutral is the worst out of any bike I\u2019ve ever ridden. Maybe previous renter warped clutch plates?<\/p>\n

In Zion now and exploring. Views are great.<\/p>\n
