T’was a beautiful, sun drenched and slightly breezy day in Laughlin, Nevada where the 26th Annual Laughlin River Run was happening. We were there on Saturday (4/26/08) and got some pics for your viewing pleasure.

That radical custom you see at the top of this post was on display by Jim Nasi Customs - a monster of a machine with attitude galore. Of course, we saw tons of great bikes, babes, artists, tattoos and just about everything else you can imagine. We’ll be bringing you those posts, along with great shots over the next few posts.

The West’s largest ride-in bike show brings hundreds of exhibits and vendors plus top-name entertainment, contests, pageants and charity fund raisers. Free attractions include the Harley Davidson Traveling Museum, test rides on new Harley Davidson motorcycles, Miss Hawaiian Tropic competition, tattoo contests and live entertainment. Event passes include Poker Run, Custom Bike Show, souvenir pin and bandanna, and merchandise drawing tickets. Raises funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Colorado River, Easter Seals Society, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, American Heroes Foundation and other charities.

The custom bike show was well situated right next to the Colorado Belle Hotel and Casino. Stay tuned - we got tons of shots - that’s a post full of outrageous paint jobs and eye candy all by itself.

Buiders: many of the usual biker luminaries like Chica were there again this year.

Laughlin is an interesting town. If you’ve never been, you owe yourself a trip there. This gaming town boasts 11 resorts and casinos with 24-hour casino gaming and is centrally located between the Los Angeles Basin and Phoenix, Arizona just 90 miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada and is set in a rugged mountain terrain which gently slopes to the cool banks of the Colorado River.

No shortage of bikes. We heard numbers like 60,000 as a final bike count for this year’s turnout.

Beautiful ladies always make these events worthwhile.

Visit the Laughlin River Run site for more of this great event, and stay tuned to AirbrushTour as we bring you more great shots and posts from this year’s rally.

A Sturgis babe havin’ some laughs. Gotta love biker season…

Our friends from Devious Designs of Las Vegas made an appearance at the local Arlen Ness show to peddle their talents recently. They sent us some great shots so we though we’d share with you.

The 26th annual Laughlin River Run starts this week and it’s one not to be missed. Musical talent includes Foreigner, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Black Crowes and Blue Oyster Cult. And of course all the rest of the necessary biker fare - bikes, babes, beer and bbq will be there for consumption.

Our friend Daniel Power from Melbourne, Australia recently sent us pics of his Chrysler 300 project. This car was painted by Troy at AAA Bodyworks in Melbourne, Australia with House of Kolor ‘Galaxy Grey’ on the top portion of the car over the factory metallic black that remains on the bottom of the car. The two dynamic colours are divided by a 1 inch graphic stripe of House of Kolor marblizer with PPG kandy overlay.

The trunk lid in process in Daniel Powers’ studio.

Daniel created the design in Photoshop and airbrushed it onto the trunk lid over three days. The car took out “Best 300C” at a Chrysler show in Victoria, which was held just 2 days after the trunk went back onto the car. The show had over 1000 Chrysler cars in attendance. More of Daniels work can be found at www.airbrushpower.com.

Check out some of Daniel’s YouTube videos and watch a master at work:
