LAUGHLIN PREPARES FOR ALAMO–The City Council in Bullhead City has approved a resolution granting the mayor expanded emergency powers.
She will now be able to impose curfews, close roads, and shut down businesses if necessary during next month’s Laughlin River Run motorcycle rally.
City Attorney Ron Ramsey says Mayor Diane Vick already had the powers sought in the resolution.
He says the resolution was drafted to specifically explain how those powers would be applied.
The resolution was developed as a response to a deadly biker brawl at Harrah’s Laughlin casino, across the Colorado River from Bullhead City, during last year’s River Run.

(March 28, 2003) – Buell Motorcycle Company invites riders to participate in the 2003 Buell National BattleTrax Series, a free motorcycle event that challenges riders to compete in a controlled environment and rewards skill and consistency. The National BattleTrax Series, which kicked off March 8 during Daytona Bike Week, showcases Buell?s latest award-winning motorcycles – the Lightning XB9S and Firebolt XB9R.
“Buell motorcycles have always emphasized the importance of mass centralization and frame rigidity, and low unsprung weight, which gives riders improved handling and agility,” says Erik Buell, chairman and chief technical officer. “BattleTrax is a great way to showcase these performance attributes, which provide benefits in any type of riding.”BattleTrax is a closed-course motorcycle event involving a well-marked, circuitous route on a paved surface. The event is designed for all experience levels, giving every rider an opportunity to test their skills. Riders travel the course – one at a time – as efficiently as they can. An electronic timer monitors each rider?s performance. The course, laced with twists and turns, is guaranteed to test riders? skills and produce ear-to-ear grins.
The winner of each regional event – determined by a timed bracket-style format – will receive a trip to Las Vegas to compete for the national championship on July 16, 2003. Buell Motorcycle Company will provide each winner with round trip airfare to Las Vegas and two nights? hotel accommodation, along with a special Buell prize. The national champion will receive the Buell National BattleTrax Series Championship trophy and bragging rights for a lifetime.
Scott Berry of Arlington, Mass., was crowned the winner of the first regional event at Daytona. ?I was really looking forward to the BattleTrax event at Daytona,? said Berry. ?I liked the bracket format. I was counting the time down in my head and trying to be smooth on the course. I am pumped to go to Vegas for the finale.?
The 10-event national series continues this spring and summer giving riders the chance to test their motorcycles and themselves.
?BattleTrax is a fun skills course intended for riders of all experience levels,? says Paul James, communications manager. ?Riders set their own bracket time, and ride within their own limits to match it, which makes for an even playing field and rewards smoothness and consistency.?

CRUISING RIDER RELEASE VEGAS ROAD TEST–Just received the new Cruising Rider and read your article on theVegas…Very nice. A well written article and pictures were good too! –Tom Motsko READERS’ POLL RESULTS– I have attached the results. I had around 40 hits from my site. I added 190 from yours. Even though the response was low, it is interesting to note that thepercentages stayed the same from 10 votes through 229 votes. I thinkit probably is an accurate reflection of road bike miles traveled(NHTSA throws in dirt bikes, ATV’s, mopeds, and god knows what else). So much for NHTSA saying we average 1,900 miles per year and using thatnumber to issue a death toll alert and feed their helmet propoganda. I hope everyone had a great time, maybe I’ll create another one! FTW, –Stroker President of the Tahiti Riders Club, Kiki GOTTA GET SOME SLEEP–If you ever want to visit a pure paradise, Tahiti is the place. The tropical islands, the pristine beaches, the topless French girls, the crystal clear waters and snorkeling that will blow your mind. Bikernet contributor and longtime east coast rider TBear and his lovely wife Maggie discovered a love for the islands and the people. Their relationship with Kiki the president of the Harley club initiated the notion of a run to the islands. Watch for the complete report and news on the next run to Tahiti for a few lucky riders who want taste a pure island adventure. Hang on. Ride forever,–Bandit
