What he said LOL...Day 2 is Havasu Landing to Laughlin. This is the only time we're gonna need helmets.

Ill get the routes fine-tuned in September. Pic is just a quick reference.

I'd bring at least 3 gallons. I don't think we will need it but its good to have.

If you plan on going on this protest (ride), please post below. I will edit the routes based on the number of cars.

1. Parker Magic +5

Does anyone have the TEK208-RTP175C mount for the 1.5G fuelpax or rotopax? I am trying to see if you can stack 2 cans together on this mount, the description is unclear.

You are really screwing up your winter season with no car. When does the RG speed car show up?

They are making big progress now, but I think they will be a little late as well.

They are super collectable and hard to find.. Guy put one that is fairly abused on FB for 3500.00. So I bought it, and I'm going to fix it up a bit and run it, let the kids drive it etc..
