Default Laughlin

Just returned from the River Run, Laughlin, NV. The weather could have not been any better, Fri. night was in the mid 80's to 90 and Sat. evening was even better. Been going for years and usually it is hotter than fresh cow ----. A good trip in deed, a lot of the same as every year buit who cares. A lot of cool Harley's and nice eye candy to boot. Even rode over and took a look at the Grand Caverns, not to bad, however, it was cold that day, didn't matter was with great friends which made it ever better.

Glad you guys had a good time. I was very close to making the trip even had a room for $139 a night, but at last minute I just couldn't go. Maybe next year.

Did anyone get to ride out to Oatman? I just love that little town.

Default Not going to Oatman any more

We rode from SOCal to Havasu on Thursaday (as usual) and the rode to Oatman on Saturday and up to Laughland for a couple of beers and to bring back a rolling chassis for my brother. Can't hack Oatman any more, the crowds, dirt lots, and all the LE traps. Wow. Low turn out at Laughland. Maybe everbody was in Oatman - sure seemed like it! They have got to get the message some day - too much doe makes for no show!
