The back road to Needles
After Me, Jerry, Greg all went back to the house to kick back and cool off, we decided to go get some dinner at a mexi-food joint. The food was pretty good. Then we decided to ride back in to Laughlin to see what was crackin’ with the rest of the group.

Our ride organizer looking good on Sephira
Sitting on the strip in traffic while leaving Laughlin
Ok so my cheap camera sucks. I had to do a little photoshopping to make this picture viewable. I happen to suck at photoshop so the color may look a little strange or it may look a little grainy but I’ll be damned if I didn’t go thru all that trouble to take all these one handed pics while doing 65+mph and have them not come out.
Had to lighten this one up a little too but I like this picture
Night shot of Jerry
Of Greg
Dark videos of us riding home back to needles on the back road. I tried to lighten them up using Microsoft Video Editor and it has a brightness adjustment but no contrast adjustment so I wasn’t able to do much. I’ll keep working on these. I’d really like to see them come out. Anybody else out there that’s good at video editing???

Riding down the side road to Oatman (the video)
That’s Lyn riding in front of me

Back on the road again… goin home
On my way to the REDLINE!!!
Self portrait… It ain’t as easy as it looks throttlin’ the bike with one hand and snappin’ pictures like this.
Ugly mug
If anybody has ever seen the classic movie “The Road Warrior” the cheap quality of my camcorder kind of rivals the cheap Australian cinematography of that movie.
Some video of the videographer. It gets a little hairy throttling and steering with one hand and managing the camera with the other… Especially when crankin’ it up there towards 100mph and suddenly catching a gust of wind. I’ll do just about anything to get a cool picture though.

What a trip! Enjoyed pics- tho' I shudder to think how you shot most. Haven't been to Laughlin in many moons- Is Ramada Inn still there? (it has a train that runs thru the hotel)- I could make out Kokopelly in one of nite shots- did you stop there? (Oatman looks like a wild west town!) Although you were actually DEAF on Monday (d/t swelling from beesting)- am glad that's the only affliction you suffered. (Was afraid your grp would be mistaken for "Angels" grp).

It was a fun trip. 340 miles each way. Ramada is still there. Did not stop at Kokopelly, what is that, a casino? Oatman IS an 1800's wild west ghost town. It was cool to see the burro's cruising around. They have free run of the place and are supposedly descended from the ones used to settle Oatman during the mining days. There are a LOT more bike groups out there that more closely resemble "Angles" I did not see any of their presence there. I DID however see a few of them chatting with the La Mesa PD a couple of weeks ago during the weekly car cruise. The trip was pretty uneventful with exception of one of our group running out of gas in the fast lane outside of Blythe. Since I was riding drag (at the back of the pack), I had to put myself between the cars and her to divert traffic around until we could get her bike fired again. The shoulder was only 2 feet wide and the cars were whizzing by at about 90mph not more than 5 feet away. We got her bike fired and then I had to break traffic again so she could pull back out onto the highway. That was a little unnerving. It's one thing doing it in a car but totally different when there is nothing between you and these huge masses of metal flying by.
