Default Laughlin was HOT!

just got back from Laughlin 600+ miles in the last 2 days. [8D] It was an awsome time, we went across the Boulder Dam & out to Kingman AZ. Then back into Lauglin for the festivities. Good ride & great time with a couple of Buds. I will try to load on some pics in the next couple of days.

We went to Oatman, Havasu, and the Grand Canyon, as I mentioned above.
Here is my favorite Grand Canyon photo.

Did anyone else get stuck on the hill in Bullhead City? Saturday afternoon it was backed up about a mile. I thought my bike was gonna melt. We had a lot of fun, spent a lot of money, and got sunburned. Cant wait till next year.

Came back from Otman Saturday afternoon. I took the Bullhead Parkway that goes around Bullhead City and crosses the river into Laughlin. No problems.

It must have been bad timing for us. Just over the hill on the parkway, the drop down to the river, it was jammed. Not sure of the time. We had a great time.

We got stuck on the hill as well. The hill is the north end of Bullhead Pkwy. We got hit coming back from the poker run in Havasu. We split lanes all the way to the front only to get a verbal lashing by another rider saying that it was illegal to split in AZ. Risk we had to take, I guess. It still took us 10 minutes to get through the light. Parked my bike after that. Too much traffic for that temperature....
