river run
hey! the time is drawing near, everyone is getting their bikes ready, some ride and some trailer and some come in cages, but it doesnt matter!
FUN IN THE SUN is the idea totally! we are coming from spokane washington, (which by the way had more damn snow than most of alaska this year)
Does anyone have any thoughts on what the attendance will be at this year? With the economy and gas prices a few months back i was wondering if it would be really bad, but now with the fuel prices at half of what they were maybe it will be a good turnout! We have been many years to the run, some with the old lady, some with buddies and even a few with a notorious biker gang ( that we will not mention by name haha)
probably have to throw the bagger in a truck because of snow on alot of the roads in montana, (the route we go) we are heading out on wednesday early, anyone in the area and wants to hook up get back to us!
thanks laine and nikki!

Harrah's is way at the other end of Laughlin, not all that close to where everything is happening. We were staying at the Colorado Belle and didn't even kown anything had happened. They sort of kept it at that end of town. Everything was pretty normal everywhere else.

I walked into the store at the Terrible Herbst gas station that is in front of the Edgewater Inn the year after the shoot out when 6 H.A.s showed up to get some gas. 4 cop cars pulled up with shotguns and body armor and locked down the station and the market with everyone in the store. The cops wanted the H.A.s to leave and the H.A.s just wanted to get some gas so that they could leave town. The cops didnt want them to get any gas but wanted them to leave anyway. It took about an hour before eventually the cops let 2 H.A.s get some gas and then leave town and then they let 2 more H.A.s get gas and then they left town and then the last 2 H.A.s got their gas and they rode off and the cops finally let everyone out of the market. I think that there has been a small but continuing decline in the turnout at Laughlin since the initial shooting at Harrahs. I will be staying at a friends home in Kingman this year, as I did last year, and riding into Laughlin early on Friday and Saturday. The temperature is a little cooler up in Kingman and the riding is good too! Its just crossing the bridge from Az to Nv is such a pain with all of the traffic. But, for me, it is worth it! I love to ride the Harley demo fleet of motorcycles and meet new people and run in to old friends and swap road stories while sipping on a cold drink and watching the world go by. I cant wait! It is only 33 more days to go. Hell yea!
