Good topic Primo!
Topock Marina has always been a pretty good stop on the way to or from Havasu City. They have demolished the old place to make way for a new resort.
Though they will not have any new buildings up by the end of April.... I hear they do plan some activities for the weekend.
Stay off Courtwright Rd or Oatman-Topock Hwy, as those are the nice scenic roads I like to take and the less traffic the better!
buuuut, if you find you must stay off the main hwy and take the nice roads.... watch your speed. I think it's like a 45mph hwy and lots of spots to pop 'ya. One year there were a couple check points as well.
Ride safe and sober, and no problem.

If anyone plans to use Laughlin as a jump off point for longer day trips, my BIL and I did this loop in '09 and enjoyed every inch of road.
It's a 500 mile loop. We were up drinking past midnight the night before we left and didn't get started till after 10am, so we stayed 1 night in Sedona and did the southern half back to Laughlin the next morning, but it can be done in 1 day.

Breakfast buffet @ the Pioneer is far from fancy but really good basic breakfast food. Excellent omelet bar.
Where is your favorite joint for breakfast in Laughlin?

Good spot for Breakfast before Oatman is a place on the River called Lazy Harrys'. Biker friendly, full bar open at 6 am, great views of desert and river. Right next to the Arizona Veterans Memorial. Lets hook up...
