Like Sturgis, Laughlin just doesn't look the same when it's not the Luaghlin River Run with thousands of motorcycles every where within 100 miles.




Finally........arrived at my destination.  My first time in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.  Just a couple of weeks ago it was on the news as the new top hot spot for spring break.  After just a few quick hours it was apparent to me why it's the latest hot spot.





Do the British know that we have an American flag flying over their London Bridge?





I found the story to be very interesting.  The gentleman, Mr. McCulloch bought several hundred thousand acres around what is now Lake Havasu.  He needed a gemic to get people to come there so he could develope it.  About that time, the world famous London Bridge came up for auction.  He bid on it and got it for the bridge over to the island.

Steve, Cammy, Lexi and Moe (their dogs) and I had a nice dinner.  Visited for awhile and they headed off to their abode and I headed to my hotel, two blocks the other side of the bridge.

The next morning I stopped by Starbucks on the corner and met a gentlman, Mr. Reese, from Lake Havasu City.  He'd just picked up his 2015 CVO Street Glide.  He wasn't aware of the forum so I gave him a business card.  Snapped a couple pics of his bike before heading off to Fullsac





and Steve has rolled over to the dark side.....he now belongs to the club.  Here's a shot of his CVO Street Glide




As Steve finished my bike about 2:00 p.m. and google maps had my ride home at just under six hours current time, I jumped in the saddle and headed south through Parker...















Arizona alphalfa hay growing......





I-8, the freeway home.....123 more miles.









From Blythe to El Centro is a two lane backroads highway that has very little traffic and you're able to really make some time....



Soon I was flyin by North Algodones Dunes Wilderness Area.  Look more like the Sahara desert.  I kept expecting to see camels come over the rise at any time.
















Just a little further and I'm back in Coronado.  Hope you guys have enjoyed the journey.  :2vrolijk_21:

Thank you for sharing. I've been to Hoover damn and Vegas a couple times. Enjoy Hogs n Heifers. How do you get all of those gorgeous shots while moving on the bike?

Looks like the water level is alarming low.

I pulled in to the Days Inn and almost immediatly had a flash from the past as a couple of ladys approached me that looked like they stepped right out of the 50s.  I thought to myself "OK, how would Jock handle this?" as I went in to action.....asked one of them ladies husband to take a picture of me with his wife and her girlfriend.  How'd I do Jock?  :)

Haird, the Car Show was south of "The Palms" at "The Orleans Hotel and Casino" on Tropicana. I think it was their 18th year there.
