Bullhead City, AZ | I ride mine every where but this last week trailered from Bullhead to Tehachapi then put on 1100 milesthrough yosemite and down highway one. The whole way to Tehachapi the Vision was looking in the back window pouting that it was on the trailer. I just could not convince myself that riding through the Mohave desert at 110 + was going to be a good idea for me or the copilot. I have ridden in temps below 20, in the rain,and in snow but heat stroke is never a good idea. |

I like the 4 ramp setup. Worked great today with 1 arched ramp and two 2x8 running boards for the feet. I think i'll pick up another arched ramp and clamp em together.
You may want to consider riding up a ramp under power (creeping up the ramp); and also riding down the ramp while sitting in the seat; and only use the front brake for descent. You have a lot more control of the bike while astride it.
Buy three more ramps and clamp 'em together... and be done with it.  |

Des Moines | Loren2, I did that twice last year on my way out to San Diego. Once between Las Vegas and Barstow and then back from Barstow to Flagstaff. Hit 117 both times. Trick is to stay moving and drink lots of water and gatoraide. I wore a mesh jacket and pants, so I didn't dehydrate quite as bad and didn't have the sun beating down on bare skin. It actually wasn't as bad as you'd think until you stopped and there wasn't any frickin shade to park in other than at the pumps.
Made the mistake of putting on my fingerless gloves at one point. I thought my fingernails were cooking! Full gloves went back on quickly after that. |

Des Moines | BTW, here's how I solved the skinny ramp problem:  Came with a 7' wide ramp.
