I remember.......riding down from Jerome via some of the old Route 66, though Kingman, Oatman...awesome place for a Kiwi to visit!!, then on down to Laughlin..this was in August and man was it hot..phew!!!!.
Stayed at a Casino by the river, can't remember the name.
The town seemed very false to me, lots of lights and plastic people, but I have heard that the River Run has lost its gloss, I read in one of the Mags that some idiot complained that their kids...KIDS!!! were upset by some of the antics of the bikers...is it a biker run or a kids day out?.
Even down here in NZ if you go to a biker rally you leave the kids at home with the Grandparents and let the older kids party hard!!!!!.
I did win $100 at the Casino though, so it was fun, it was the only time in six weeks that I had a gamble....seen a lot of sad people who thought they could make a buck though at these places...quite sad really.
But would I come back....you bet your bottom dollar I would!!! you guy's and girls rock and you should appreciate what you got cause it is (blinkin) awesome.
