Thank you for sharing. I've been to Hoover damn and Vegas a couple times. Enjoy Hogs n Heifers. How do you get all of those gorgeous shots while moving on the bike?

Looks like the water level is alarming low.

I've been doing it for a number of years.....ride with a Nikon hanging around my neck.  Often shoot on Auto, one handed.  Other times I put it on cruise control and use both hands....one to hold the camera and the other to focus and/or change settings. 

While you see a few hundred photos, I've probably taken four times that many just to get the pics good enough to post.  I spend a lot of time each night back at the hotel deleating all the bad pics......or I should say the really bad pics.  Jock and a few others here have given me tips on shooting, lighting, color, etc.  Jock's my hero when it comes to photography.

It was really challenging riding around the sharp slow curves around the dam and bridge at slow speed, riding one handed while shooting with the other hand.  Have Mark (Ironhorse to thank for some of those slow speed skills (except he didn't teach us to do it one handed). 

I owe a lot to a lot of people on this forum!

Thanks for taking the time to post all those pictures JC. Nice to see warmth somewhere. (I plowed snow two days ago. )
See you soon, Tom

Haird, the Car Show was south of "The Palms" at "The Orleans Hotel and Casino" on Tropicana. I think it was their 18th year there.

Thanks for the heads up....guess we need to plan the next Spring trip out around this event.

JC, thanks again for the pics.  We rented a car a three years ago and drove to Laughlin for a couple of days.  From Laughlin back up to Flagstaff and the G.C. then back to Vegas.  Laughlin reminds me so much of what Reno and "old Vegas" was....interesting place.  Guess I need to put the river run on my list of things to do. 
The new HD shop in Vegas is so much better than their old place on Sahara Drive.  We were in there in January but no CVO's....looks like they got the UV blue after our trip out....dang it.  STILL haven't seen that bike in person.
We are in Las Vegas at least twice a year.  Next time out, I'll give you a shout and y'all can come over for a supper on me....

Thanks a bunch you guys, for all the strokes. I enjoy photography but I do the ride reports for all of you.  For those who've been (Haird and others), just to reminisce.....for all those who've never been, maybe to entice you to get out and ride to places you've never been.  But be warned.....those long haul journeys can get very addicting.  Ask people like Jock, Marty, Andy,  Panhead Jimmy and many others on this forum that do go to both coasts, Canada and Mexico. 

Look for the next one, next month......  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=99254.0

Make sure you let us know ahead of time.....get a bit of a ride in with ya....the $1.98 tour.    Even if I'm not able to break away from work, I can certainly lay out some excellent roads for you to ride.

And don't pay no attention to Van.....he exagerates.  All those that have rode with him knows it's hard to keep up with that guy.
