Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events 27th Annual Laughlin River Run April 22nd - 26th.

AmyLee and I are heading to Needles CA. this Wednesday for four nights in Hardley land. We chose Needles, a central location between Laughlin and Lake Havasu City(London Bridge), hopefully out of party central. This is one of those, go once, for the h#ll of it trips.
Anyone else crazy enough, going?

Good afternoon all,
The Laughlin River Run is this week and I thought I would send out few quick tips I have
heard from other riders to help those of us that are going for the first time. Below is a
little checklist to help you out when packing. I am looking forward to a great 4 day weekend
at the largest rally in the Southwest.



Bring comfortable walking shoes for when you are not riding as you will be
doing a lot of viewing exhibits and vendors off the bikes.


Be prepared for the heat and sun as it should be in the mid 90's Thur and Fri and
high 80's Sat and Sun. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and swim wear.


Bring your registration and insurance info as I have heard the police during
the rally will pull a rider over for the smallest thing.


Double check the basics on your bike like tires, lights, blinkers, coolant, etc to
ensure a fun and trouble free trip.


Don't forget your reservation info, as it is very very crowded weekend and you want
to avoid any confusion when checking in.


Bring a helmet as Nevada is a helmet required state. That goes for passengers as well.


Motorcycle theft is very high during this rally, so make sure you park in secure areas
if possible, and not in a place where a tow truck could easily get to as that is how
most bikes are taken

Bob, Amy Lee and Sandy -

Have a great time!
When I went 3 years ago, the venders booths were some of the best and most diverse I had seen at a rally. I bought my kyryakan (sp?) wing pegs there and they mailed the adaptors w/out charge as they were out at the booth.

It was hot that year, and I about overdid it one day riding - not fun.

As close as it is, I don't seem to make it over - too many other things on my plate this time of year it seems.

Bob and AmyLee hope to see you in Prescott at the end of May - and if not I understand new grandkids are important.
Sandy - you ought to come check us out in Prescott - Southwest Triumph Fest - there is a thread somewhere - this year it's over Memorial day weekend. Lots!!!! of fun and Trumps.

Well here are some pics of the first day here. It got pretty hot in Lake Havasu, but Oatman was really nice, temp wise.

Waiting for the road to clear.

The crowds weren't too bad.
