Day 2 of the etnies Two Wheel Tour began with a big thud as the wheels literally came off the bus and we were forced to stay in Salt Lake City for half a day while the crew replaced the axle! Bummed. Sometime around noon the boys were back on the bikes and the tour rolled on through Utah and into Wyoming. What a ride it was through the majestic red rock canyons of Utah and through the plains of one of our last wide open states, Wyoming.

As to be expected the boys kept the throttle wide open throughout the day, averaging speeds through pouring rain, cross winds, and swarms of bugs that would make Evil Knievel himself think we're crazy! Around midnight we jumped off the bikes at a hotel in Casper, Wyoming for some much earned R&R.

Swapping out axels...sucks!

Hardcore bikers right here

...the lunch of champions

Yeah, I beat the GOAT, this dinosaur
ain't got shit!

Ummm

Potter did not even think twice when
Mike Jones laid down in front of the
Vegas sign...he jumped him on
his hog!

The third annual etnies Two Wheel Tour is officially underway and on a mission to ride Harleys from LA to Vegas. This year the motley crew of riders consists of Todd Potter, Ox Kargola, Kenny Bell, Beau Manley, “Mad” Mike Jones and the speed demon himself, Trigger Gumm.

We kicked the tour off at Bartel's Harley Davidson in LA where we loaded up on all the necessary gear that it would take for the group of dirt bike riders to make it 1400 miles to Sturgis in Black Hills South Dakota. We stopped off at Baker to take some shots in front of the worlds largest thermometer which just happened to read 96 degrees at midnight...needless to say it has been smoking hot to say the least.

We rolled into Vegas and stayed at Hooters Hotel and Casino the first night, took a few shots with the infamous Vegas sign in the morning and pinned it to Salt Lake City where I sit writing this piece in the etnies RV.

Look for more to come in the days to come. Braap!

The crew sweated it out through 100
degree temps to pose for a photo in front
of the worlds largest thermometer.

The crew tearing up V-town!

The first night as we rolled up to the
Hotel for a little quality time and
