Desert Storm or The Lucas Oil LODBRS in Chandler April 24-26?

it is also the weekend for the Laughlin river run.........................

Laughlin River Run must be hurting for vendors as they called the shop and offered to cover a space and rooms for the guys to show up and bring bikes. That's a first for them. In my opinion it's gone way downhill since the fight and the cops became way too involved and started harassing people in order to send a message that apparently bikers and bikes aren't welcome there. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out this year.

Not to mention the town is like a ghost town now. Personally I think a lot of the reason is the loss of the SCE power plant. Brought a lot of jobs and revenue to that area.

That could do it as well. Getting to be too warm for the 'birds, may as well try and bring back the bikes. The tales of LEO's walking through stopped traffic and "pulling" bikes over and harassing them got to be all too common. Talking regular RUB's, not 1%'er types sporting full cuts.
