Bill & Leatha from Indianapolis, IN


Thanks for the opportunity of this wonderful experience. Everything was just great, the trip that was programmed in the GPS worked fantastic, if there were any missed turns, it was driver error as I was enjoying the 1800 Goldwing, Fantastic Ride, Beautiful Scenery. This was my first trip to Phoenix / Scottsdale, the hospitality that you showed was way above expectations. Thanks so much for making our Arizona Trip one that we will treasure for many years to come. We enjoyed the Roosevelt Lake & Damm as well as Apache Trail with the long and winding road a beautiful trip on a Wing! What can I say except "Ya done good!" Thanks for everything. We Loved it!

Last Minute Ride




My brother in law and I were in Scottsdale for training and decided to take a last minute site seeing trip. He and I thought a ride would be the best way of seeing AZ. After a few minutes on the internet we came across AZride.com. There site offered what we were looking for: Great bikes (BMW 1200 RT's), gear, travel planning, and location. We showed up at 9am without reservations. Monica and Gabor welcomed us in and treated us great. Monica handled all the paper work quickly, and explained things very well. Gabor handled the techincal once over with the bikes. He too was very helpful and friendly. Within an hour we were on our way. Following the advice of Monica and Gabor we headed up toward Prescot. On the way we stop at Lake Pleasure, Vulture mine, Wickenburg and a few other places.

The bikes were great. AZride's bikes were clean, awesome condition and what can one say about a BMW 1200 RT other than awesome!

This is without a doubt the best one day ride I've every had. Both Wynn and I had smiles from ear to ear all day long and for the last few days.

I you're looking to reduce stress, low blood pressure rent a cycle from AZride and forget your worries. Both of us will be back soon for a longer tour.

Thanks again Monica and Gabor.

A Good Neighbor

Monica just a note to thank you and Gabor for a wonderful experience renting and riding in Arizona. The whole experience was everything I hoped for with no surprises. I'll be seeing you again in the future. Steve Gallian, Winnemucca Nevada.

Dave and Irene from Minnesota

You and Gabor have, AND maintain a nice fleet of bikes. I chose the RT 'cause I have never ridden one before. It was a good choice for two-up touring. Very "long legs" for smooth open road traveling. Bags hold generous amounts. Not a scratch on this mount and we kept it that way. The electrically-adjustable windshield is a real plus-----------down for slow traffic and up for higher speed.
We headed east towards Globe but deciced to head south due to the northly wind and went through Florence. On to Tucson and ended up in Green Valley to visit with Irene's sister for two days. Headed back a similar route and why we didn't stop at the Biosphere I will never know. So on our next trip through you guys we will see the 'sphere. I know, I know you said: "----visit the Biosphere on your way to or from Tucson".

Hi Monica and Gabor: You both run a top quality outfit! Thank you both for your professional approach to renting me a superb motorcycle. Just like your offices and showroom, the Triumph America bike was absolutely clean and in outstanding condition. The liability forms you provided were thorough, but very fair. No problems at all.
From the first-phone calls I made to you, and to the check-out and check-in process, I couldn't have been more impressed.
My Triumph ride was to Carefree, lunch at the Sundial Cafe, and then over a wonderful winding road to the Lake. Just an easy, comfortable ride with some brief exploring on side roads and into areas that I found interesting. The wall map in your offices and sites and the routes you suggested were also very helpful.
Thank you again,
John

High Adventure in the Scottsdale Sun!


It was hard to get the smile off my face during the entire trip!
It has been years since I put riding a motorcycle up in the Arizona mountains, but it wasn’t until I talked my wife into going and making a call to Monica that finally made the dream a reality! With minimum hassle and maximum friendliness, Monica and Gabor put us on a brand new BMW with a full tank of gas and a map for adventure.Heading out on to the road was as exciting as I expected and we watched the miles to the mountains evaporate beneath the smooth power of the BMW throaty roar. We poked around the upper lakes, wondered thru Usury Pass and up to Tortilla Flats for a barbecue sandwich.Even the band was a fun diversion sitting in the sun enjoying a cold ice tea.
Our adventure was a perfect mix of liesurely thrills!
Thanks a ton for all your help in setting up this incredible expereince.
Sincerely, Bill and Charlene Cattley / Michigan

January Get Away

So i'm hanging out minding my own business and a buddy calls and says "Are you up for a bike Trip in 10 days" Hell Ya!!!!!

Jan 23 08 we arrive to meet Monica and Gabor for what we are anticipating being 6 days of great riding. We notice the rubber glove treatment of the rental bikes and i have to say i was a tad worried about sitting on the bike and marking the well maintained Kawy. Wasn't too long into the ride and the tuned motor confirmed we had rented from people who love their machines .. so i best ride it like i own it.

Down to Tuscon then Tombstone working our way finally to the Carlsbad Caverns with many interesting stops in between made this trip one to remember. We come back with countless memories and something we all look forward to experiencing again in the future.

Monica and Gabor were great to work with .. even though you almost were nervous taking the bikes back cuz you may have added a stone bruise :) Would i rent from these people again ... in a heart beat. We even had the unfortunate issue of 1 bike having a flat tire last day. The tire was filled with Napa foam and no issues with either the ride or the bike inspection upon our return.


I will be back to experience other parts of Arizona for sure. Next time most likely March.

October 2007 BMW Ride










My two-day rental was a great experience. I was in Scottsdale for only one week. Had to see the Grand Canyon by car but left two days to tour with a BMW 1200GS rental bike from AZRide. Arizona is a totally foreign environment to a Boston resident. Beautiful, stark, exciting. The 1200GS rode well, not that much different than my 1983 R100RS.
I am so glad I took the time and expense to experience Arizona. I did a modest 283 mile loop east and south of Phoenix. Saw the Roosevelt Dam, totally enjoyed myself .

Thanks AZRide!!
