Anyone heading out to Laughlin this year? My sister is running a decal booth in Oatman and I'll be hanging out there most the week. Come by and say hello, I'll be the guy dressed like a biker, lol!

 

Yes will be out there, not sure if I will make it to Oatman though

 

Describe what dressing like a biker looks like.

 

Have fun, went 2x , '94 and then '11. Rally's are not my thing.

 

Will head there early next week. go every year with my sons who lives in Vegas. We only to one day,have lunch at a Casino buffet, check out the vendors and sometimes go to Oatman after and up to Kingman on old 66.

 

That stretch between Oatman and Kingman is a nice one. I probably wouldn't be going during bike week if I weren't out here already. I came out from Riverside, Ca. Rode up to Zion and camped for a week, got back and figured I might as well see what bike week is all about.

 

You really want me to explain the humor in saying "I'll be the guy dressed like a biker" at bike week?

 

Lycra shorts?

Might make it to Oatman. I'll be the guy on the black Harley, dodging donkeys.

 

What's a river run?

 

That is probably the longest annual event except maybe Daytona. I first went in the 1980's, and then a couple of times after that, but not regular. Events like these are for the true aficionado for the motorcycle lifestyle, which I never fully embraced. I was into all things m/c in my 20's for a time, but I'm more a loner, preferring the company of two or three more riders doing our own thing.

Now that I'm in my 70's, I don't have the desire to exert that much energy. I enjoy a 200 mile day ride and I'm satisfied.
