i got mine on route 66. as usual, i took my annual motorcycle trip to the laughlin river run. this is the 5th year of my pilgrimage and i thought it was time for something a little different.
i went with a bigger group for the first 2 yrs, both male and female, but it somehow turned into a "guys" week-end. there are now 4 of us guys going for the week-end.
as always, we stayed in primm, nv at buffalo bills casino. it is about 80 miles away from laughlin and the price is so much better than trying to stay in laughlin. besides, it is nice to be in a more quite place than a motorcycle rally with 70,000 other bikers after a 6 hour, 350 mile trip. besides, the beer (not that they serve this kind) is cheap and cold, so i like staying there.
as i digress from the point, we usually go to laughlin on saturday and hang out there all day. we check out bike, babes with boobs and look for some cheap deals on "biker" stuff. i like to stop by the harley-davidson corner and pick up my H.O.G. pin too. so, this year we decided to only go to laughlin for an hour or so and take a road trip. we decided to go do route 66 out of kingman, az. but, first we had to stop at the h-d shop in kingman and get a picture and buy some swag.
after my flirting, we headed out over 66. it really isn't so beautiful or scenic, but it is neat to think that this simple two lane hwy used to be the only way across the country. so, we traveled what is left of this great old hwy, in az., and made a few stops along the way. below are a couple of pictures out front of a bar on the hwy, but it was closed for a remodel. too bad because i would have liked to see inside (i never drink on my bike). any way it was cool to see the old signs and take a quick pic. and a couple pics of us on the road.
we also stopped in seligman, az and ate some really good pie. if you ever get close, stop in at the copper cart and get your own pie! this is gail and she is the best baker, chief cook and wonderful waitress and owner of the cart. she is from minnesota, but we can't hold that against her. she was really great and made the stop really worth it.
so we headed back west and took a trip over hoover dam and into las vegas. i can't say anymore about this, because what happens in vegas, stays in vegas!
it was a great weekend and i can't wait until next year. it will be hard to plan a better trip than this one, but i will have a year to figure it out.
(any of the pics with guys on them were taken by me with my cell phone at about 80 miles an hour!)

RUB= Rich Urban Biker.
kirsten - thanks for stopping in. welcome to my crazy life. i ride a road king classic. i ride all over. went to stugis a few years back from here in cali. that was a blast and i road the whole way. a harley on a trailer means it's boken! as for stealing my stuff, i guess that would be find, just credit it to some one dashing and famous. thank you for the complements on my writing. only sometimes do i have inspiration. i will have to go back and see what poem you are talking about. i personally like "kick the dog" that is my favorite. and as for falling in love with me - one can never be loved enough, and besides you are up to the task 2x a week, maybe i am falling in love with you!
michael - now you, my crazy canadian friend, know that i am not rich. confortable, maybe. well, i guess i could be called a RUB only for the fact that i am not an outlaw biker, i have never killed anyone and my licence plate reads - OVRBLSD. i am just a biker dude who loves to ride and beside i like to think i look cool in leather and could get some chicks!
did you get the plate? OVERBLESSED.
a jap bike would have been a blessing, but a harley is an over blessing!
If what happens in Vegas is juicy and embarrassing I write about it on my blog.
@@ - so people in GA think that taco bell is real mexican? sad sad sad! i glad that i can help you survive lunch with those libs. you should hang a picture of reagan in your office!
pants - well, as a recovering morman, you should know that i would have told if there was any juicy stuff. my wife does read this blog so i could have talked about the "gentlemens clubs" and the hours of drinking and flirting, but sadly none of that happened. after 13 hour on the road we were really ready to get back to the hotel. then we drank! but still no dirty women! sorry, i'll work on it for you. beside i really am living through you and your wild life! btw - what city in the bay area?
i am retarded and my typing is worse.
@@ - "...i [am] glad...
pants - ...[mormon]...my does [not] read...
i have to go now. i have a date with mavis beacon.
That is so cool. I was born in Vegas.
seneca,
thanks for the compliment. i took all these pictures with my cell phone because i forgot my camera.
the old sign probably was cooler, but the other is neat too. i wish i could "leave ca" and end somewhere else.
i used to live in vegas and my folks live in st. george, ut. i do find a unique beauty in the desert. i haven't made it to moab yet, but i intend to.
