After a week on business in Phoenix, I picked up the BMW R1200RT. This was my second rental from AZRide and the experience was outstanding on both occassions. The bike was in excellent shape and the service was professional and friendly. They are motorcycle enthusiasts and it shows! I proceeded to the Phoenix airport to meet my wife who was flying in from PA. We then headed south to Tucson for the weekend.
Our lodging was a great B & B, (El Presidio Inn), in the historic district of down town Tucson. The innkeeper graciously allowed us to park the RT inside the historic, cobble stoned courtyard here we knew it would be secure. On Saturday after an awsome breakfast with
other guests, we headed off to explore the Saguaro National Park, (East) and the Sonoran Desert Museum. On Saturday evening we went to Kitt Peak National Observatory for their Nightly Observing Program. We watched the sunset over the desert from the top of Kitt Peak, (about 6,500 ft), then spent several hours learning about and observing the stars & planets. This was a unique experience and we highly recommend it.

Sunday morning we took the long way back to Scottsdale, traveling Rt. 77 to Globe, then US 60 west. This was a great ride with mountain roads and scenic overlooks and minimal traffic. Another great experience, (just way too short).
Thanks Monica & Gabor! We hope to be back! ---Jay & Linda, Landisville, PA.
