When you ask someone for their license, registration, and insurance documents during a traffic stop, do you take them out of the driver’s hand immediately after they’re presented to you? If so, you might be robbing yourself of a valuable behavioral observation opportunity.

Instead, consider waiting a few extra seconds, particularly if you think you might be dealing with someone hinky. As you know, a higher than usual level of nervousness can be a reliable indicator of possible problems. By waiting a little longer to grab the license or other paperwork you’re giving yourself an opportunity to watch for extreme shaking. One interdiction officer reported dealing with a driver who began shaking so badly after the officer hesitated before taking his license that he could barely keep it from falling out of his hand.

Sure enough, the guy turned out to be a mule.

With the new plans to increase sales, Harley-Davidson will eliminate the production and sales of sidecars. I know you’re all very disappointed since sidecars are such a hot addition to your motorcycle, but there just isn’t a demand in the market for them anymore.Harley first released the sidecar to customers back in 1914 as a solution to transporting belongings without having to sacrifice riding your motorcycle. It’s also a spot for another passenger to ride in or even a dog if you really need to. But I’m sure everyone would agree that sidecars aren’t that great of an addition to a Harley, which is probably why you rarely see em attached to many bikes. Financially, this is a great move on the manufacturer’s part to cut costs where money isn’t generating.It seems as though Harley really is taking their new marketing plan seriously, and hoping to bring a new wave of motorcycle buyers.

Laughlin Bash Info/Registration

The Laughlin Bash is a non-profit Public Safety motorcycle event for ALL active and retired Public Safety personnel. (i.e. EMS, Police, Fire, Corrections etc). This Event is not to be confused with the Laughlin River Run, which is held in April.

The Rally is an opportunity for all current and retired Public Safety personnel to get together, make new and see old friends. If you don’t ride a motorcycle come on by anyhow.

Laughlin is a great place to hold this event.  It has the hotel rooms, casinos, outlet shopping and water sport activities on the Colorado River.  Let’s put it this way, there’s a lot to do in Laughlin and at the hotel.  There is the Beach…Paddle Boats, Jet Ski Rentals, the Comedy Club at 7:00 pm each night and Octoberfest on the Boardwalk for all of October!

The average temperature is in the low 90’s to 70’s in the evening, with no to very little humidity, and LOTS of sunshine……… the guaranteed great riding weather!

Our preferred hotel this year will be the Edgewater Hotel – Casino Resort.

We also provide links to the other hotels nearby if you prefer to stay somewhere else.

On the Saturday night, the 50/50 draw will take place for monies going to the winner’s favorite Charity.  The more people you have in your group attending and the more tickets you purchase, the greater chance of winning.  On your registration online for attendance, please list your Charity.
