Thanks for this everyone, really appreciate all of the advice it all makes a lot of sense. We will definitely look at driving straight from Vegas, sounds like the most logical plan. We are planning to pick our bikes up on route, maybe even before we leave Vegas. Blue_bike we'all be sure to look out ...

My wife and I are both first time burners coming over from London, but unfortunately we can't do the full week due to work commitments (zzzz!). We're both pretty bummed out about this fact.. Hopefully we can make up for it over the weekend!! We are flying to Vegas from London and we have our RV book...
