official_style Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 i want to go out to vegas for like 3 weeks, and bring my 2 shees. it seems like the 2 choices i have are either slap them on the trailer and tow them to vegas with the denali, or ship them, and then rent a trailer out there. is that possible? how expensive would it be? the drive sounds like a huge pain in the ass, but seems like the only choice. anyone done this b4?

locogato11283 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 when i wanna take my bikes somewhere, i load them on a trailer, and off into the sunset i goooo!! Quote
official_style Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 yea its like 36 hour drive each way i think. i guess this will be how im doing it. is glamis busy like all year round? we checked and its like a 4hr drive from where we will be at in NV. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 i think shipping is pretty expensive. not sure how much. send MarineNYC a message. him and his buddies are having theirs shipped to glamis.. im sure he can give you some info. Quote
official_style Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) damn if its 1000-1500, even for both ways, i might as well just drive, because we will have to rent a trailer out there. anyone down for a roadtrip, nyc-vegas in the spring? ill pay for gas, i just need another driver. my trailer can hold 3 bikes.

official_style Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 im thinking in march or april, my boy who wants to do the drive with me actually wanted to drive thru the south... if we come out to cali for a couple days, what do we do about the hotel situation with the bikes at night? we were going to get a storage locker for when were in vegas.

BansheeRider87 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I once parked my trailer right in fornt of a poilce dept for a night. Said it was no problem and got a free donut out of it. Quote
dieselboost Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I might be down for a trip I live in vegas now but im back and forth to mass> Most casinos will either valet or you can get parking for trailers I see guys all the time do it. Quote
official_style Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 in vegas, i actually dont have to worry about staying on the strip, my boy lives in henderson, so all i would need is a place to keep the quads. i am getting all amped up about doing this, time to go work on the bikes.

LS1Inferno Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 im thinking in march or april, my boy who wants to do the drive with me actually wanted to drive thru the south... if we come out to cali for a couple days, what do we do about the hotel situation with the bikes at night? we were going to get a storage locker for when were in vegas. that time of year isnt too bad just take the average almanac temps and and like 10-20 degres those temps are taken at McCarran air port and its allways lower then the rest of town and the surrounding sun baked desert. the air may be 80ish but the sun is hot as hell out here. even at 50* sitting in the it feels like 90 behind a window or with no wind. if u want a safe place to park here in Vegas. i suggest a lighted security camera lot or a storage building. if i introduce you to Abbott at a shop here he may know of something better.

arfountain Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Maybe you should rent an enclosed trailer for the trip so you can lock it up. Quote
LS1Inferno Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Maybe you should rent an enclosed trailer for the trip so you can lock it up. thats and idea. just makie sure you get one that is a roundish front and doesnt go toomuch above the SUV. or 3000miles u will deffinaltly feel the mileage drop in ur wallet.
