That's pretty neat. Looks like you wouldn't wanna run out of gas or have any other probs out there.

 

Ive run that road at least a dozen times, during every season, never on the bike though. Many times between the hours of midnight and 5 am. Its nice to pull over, shut down, and enjoy a smoke under the stars. Some skies out there and quiet as anything. Many a time Id go 3-4 hours without seeing a soul.

 

Yep, that is exactly what it looks like... I've ridden it at least three times... enjoyed it every time... Gonna ride it again next year...

 

I do that ride at least a couple times a year. Very nice - but (in my opinion) some of the more remote sections are between I15 in Utah and Ely NV.

In late June I rode from Pueblo CO. out to San Francisco, taking US50 for most of the way.. when I was going through Utah, it was 110 F.. I kid you not. Empty road to the horizon.. and even going 90 mph, you feel like you're standing still.

 

Can you imagine what it must have been like to build that road, laying maybe a mile a day, out in the middle of absolutely nowhere? I can't imagine a worse hell on Earth!

 

Ditto! I love that road,get down there every couple years or so for a ride.

 

Where do you get the card to have stamped?

 

There's a 220 mile stretch of US Route 50 through the VW mountains that is a great ride.

 

I've rode across Western Ut and Nev a couple of times on 50, never got the stamp for it, but did see it was available, it's really a pretty cool road, but coming from Wyoming, didn't seem as lonely as claimed. I'm going to Street Vibrations in Reno later this month, haven't decided yet whether I'm going I 80 or 50, thinking of going on 50 and coming back on 80, 50 has some neat little towns on it, one thing for sure, on 50 your business will be appreciated.

 

I rode the section between Fermley, NV and Ely, NV a couple of years ago. Interesting road in that it is straight for maybe 50 miles, then you go through a short space of twisties getting over the ridges, kind of like riding over a wave. The towns of Eureka and Lincoln were welcomed stops. Saw a bunch of Mormon crickets crossing the road east of Lincoln. The locals warned us the crickets get very slippery if enough of them get crushed. If the road ahead is red, slow way down!
