Back when I had my Harley, I used to go to Laughlin every year....... that does look pretty quiet for a Friday. The only year I didn't go was the year they had the shootout at Harah's. Those were good times.
Yeah i was at work just down the street when that happened...And now that is whats killing the run..The police presence here is crazy.. We have the FBI, ATF, city, county, Army on call, Swat on alert, National guard on stand by, DPS, Nevada state patrol, CHP, and undercover officers walking the streets dressed like bikers And im sure im missing some more agency's that are out in force..
It is so bad that if you stop on the sidewalk to tie you'r shoe , the cops tell you move it or go to jail

Cant even have signs that say "Show your tit's" anymore or it could be a ticket to jail..I had a sign on the back of my truck a few years ago, they told me to scrape it off and after the run you can put another one on.. "i didnt"
so basicaly anything that could start any shit they are on top of..
Oh did i mention the $5 dollar beers in the plastic bottle

The run just aint no fun anymore and with the hotels charging sooo much for the rooms, then you have the food and of course the drinks...
A rich man can go home a poor man now....It sucks!!!!!
