I may be going to Las Vegas for a week on March 8.
I Googled Goldwing rentals in Las Vegas and came upon Eaglerider. The have an F6B or GL1800 among others available. The F6B is $160/day. I phoned them and asked if their F6B has the stock low windscreen or a taller windscreen, and I was told it had the higher screen. All good so far. I really only want a bike for 1 day so my wife and I can get out and see some scenery out of town.

Does anyone have experience with renting a bike from this or other companies in LV?
Other suggestions?
Thanks.

BigBird,
I am biased because I work for EagleRider Orlando but I just got back from our corporate convention in Vegas. It is such a hot market that there are 3 EagleRider stores there. Honda, BMW and HD/Indian. All have really good reviews and do a great job. I rented an Indian last weekend and the service was great. FWIW

Yes, somewhat biased, but good to know that they are a national chain. I had no idea.

Meet me in Vegas, and we'll go for a ride together.
You bring Mrs. Limoles, or if not doable, any companion of choice, your gun, and your camera.
I'll bring Mrs. Bigbird, a water pistol, and camera.
We'll have fun.

10 Corporate locations and 90 or so franchises world wide. Dubai, Australia, etc... Est. 1992 by 3 guys with 4 bikes in a garage. Founder is being inducted into the Sturgis hall of fame this year.

While in Vegas, as a team building exercise we went to the Gun Store and shot hand guns and full auto machine guns! Everything from Tommy guns to AK47's. Quite a rush, shot the bad guy but I didn't shoot any ducks.

I would rather ride my F6B than shoot any kind of weapons.
In fact, I would rather drive any kind of Harley than shoot weapons, and I have no use for anything HD.

I'll meet you with pleasure , but Mrs. Limoles hates motorcycles , so she is not good company for us . Instead she will throw her money in Casino , getting drunk and next day ... blame me for everything . By the way , she is the one , who carry the gun and each time wants to "kill me" , if I do not ... behave . You know women - don't you ?

Since you already own a F6B why not try renting an Indian or a BMW. I know thats what I would do. Probably lean to the BMW since I rode a few Indians last summer. Just a thought.

I give them high marks. Great stores, incredible staff, bikes were up-to-date, clean and well-cared for. They had a F6b available when I was there in Fall, but as some one suggested earlier it wasn't going to be modified the way mine is anyway, so I chose a street glide. Just can't get the Harley-D out of my blood I guess. I loved it. Spent two great days on it. It might surprise you but there is great riding just about any direction you head out of town-- many huge national parks, Hoover dam, even some snow covered mountains close by. Death Valley and snow in the same day is pretty cool.

For 2 up in a place where I have no experience driving I would want a bike that I am completely familiar with.
There's nothing worse than trying to be smooth and competent with braking, clutching, shifting, and throttle on an unfamiliar bike in an unfamiliar place with a passenger on the back.
I have no desire to try something different.
Jumping on an F6B in Vegas would be jumping on my own bike.

for the last 2 years I have rented from Eaglerider in Vegas. Last year we did Honda and they only had 1 F6B so my buddy rented that and I rented a full wing. Easy and great price. I think most of their bikes have a 300 mile a day allowance and then charge per mile after. We were rode all day and were just under the 300 miles that year. They had replaced the stock shield with a taller shield which was nice. This year we rented from the Depot and both rented Indians for 2 days. After 1/2 a day riding I wished I had rented an F6B but all was still good. You cant beat riding Lake Meade Rec Area to Valley of Fire. Most of the Harleys and Indians have unlimited miles for your rental period but it seems like for the 2 days we were still under 600 miles so it wouldn't have mattered in that regard.

I think its one of the best deals in Vegas for Entertainment. Either Bring a helmet or they will supply one at no cost. I always bring mine.

First year a forum member met us and lead us around so we didnt have to worry about where to go. 2nd year we added the GPS which was great to get around.

Both bikes ran well and no issues so I would recommend them.

That's what I wanted to hear.
