Video: LA To Barstow To Vegas 2017 - How We Should All Spend Our Holiday Vacation Time
For 34 years, District 37 Dual-Sport has hosted the LA to Barstow to Vegas ride, providing participants with a 400 mile-plus dual-sport ride through some of the most scenic countryside in the Southwest. Perhaps this is why the event in known around the world and not just in this corner of the United States.
Every year, videos begin to trickle out from the event a few days after its completion, and this one by Jim Kowalski is the best we’ve found for the 2017 LA-B-to-V ride. However, it should be noted that this video features a different route for the first day of riding (Instead, it covers from Riverside, up through the Cajon Pass to Lucerne, Hesperia, through Johnson Valley and Stoddard Wells to Barstow, according to Kowalski.)
You owe yourself this five-minute dual-sport vacation. If it doesn’t make you want to buy an adventure or dual-sport bike, you better check your pulse.
Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
