To all those interested, My buddy owns a bar/restaurant in the Rancho Cucamonga area off of Archibald/210 Fwy. He opens early for us every year Thursday morning for the River Run weekend. Our group meets up here at 8 to 9am. Have breakfast and take Route 66 all the way into Laughlin (no freeways). Its a trek but we love it and have a few stops along the way. We are a laid back group so if anyone wants to join just pm me and I'll give you the info. Just so you know, we are in NO HURRY to get to Laughlin, this is strictly about the ride and commeraderie on the way. We have around 4 stops on the way that we typically make for refreshments/lunch so we usually pull into Laughlin a little after Sunset. Again this is a NO FREEWAY ride from Alta Loma to Laughin. All are welcome. Last year we had approx 10 to 12 bikes. Around 20 people so it was a great time had by all. Let me know if you are interested in joining.

 

Wow! Sounds like an interesting route. Curious if you have a map or turn by turn directions.

Checked Google Maps and couldn't really find a way to get from Alta Loma to Laughlin without at least a little freeway thrown in. I really like the idea of getting there on roads only.

Thanks!

 

Will be leaving thursday morning from corona....3 bikes, 1 chase vehicle full of the wives haha

My buddy got rolled in Bullhead City last year. They were looking for reasons to pull ANYONE over last year in BHC, Az.

 

Hey all

If anyone is interested, I got a home out in Bullhead City (across the river from the AVI) and I'm willing to rent it out for the weekend.

My buds and I will be doing Sturgis this year instead of Laughlin and I could use the $ for that trip.

You could check the home out here. $500 for the weekend plus a security fee.

Thanks man!

Looks like no run for me this year but I will definitely look into this route for the next one.

 

Gary,

Didn't know you were going. We will be there Wednesday with Peek-A-Boo Bob and Sidecar. Staying at the Colorado Belle.

Let's make arraignments to meet up and have a beverage. Give us a chance to get to know each other before the Utah trip.

We haven't been since 2005 so it should be fun.

Bill
