Coming into Laughlin Saturday (the video)

Golden Nugget Parking Garage

Arlen Ness Bike on display

Another an AN bike

Price tag on an Arlen Ness bike

My favorite bike. Awesome lines and ya gotta love all the spikes. Not exactly a practical rider bike but in general, my favorite one there.

Another angle of my favorite show bike

Forced Induction good!

Roots type supercharger adapted to drive directly from the crankshaft (no Gilmer belt). Pretty sick setup.

Nice paint!

Twisted pipe

�Pizza cutter� a.k.a. �poker chip� front runner

Jack Daniels Girls

Sea of bikes

Jerry and the Havana Honey�s cigar girls.

Ok this came out a little blurry and I thought about photoshopping it to clean it up a little but then I realized it�s kind of a good representation of what my vision was actually like at the time� so I left it untouched.

Biker wear

Bummer that this pic didn�t come out very well

Guranteed no traction problems� ever.

I bet the tire bill is kind of steep though.

360mm rear tire� letsee x .03937 = 14.17� wide!!!

It�s a toss up between this bike� and they spikey one from earlier as far as my favorite bike there. This one looks a little more practical and something that might be able to be ridden though, so this one has my vote for favorite of the rideable bikes.

Bust out the hot dogs and burgers. An old school hot rod flame thrower. I kinda wanted to see this thing light up the night sky.

Old school

Also a nice bike

Ferry ride back to Golden Nugget since it was WAY too hot to walk back.

Riding back to needles Saturday

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???

Leaving the Needles rental house on Sunday morning on the way to Oatman

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

Burro in Oatman waitin� for a scratch and a carrot

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.
