Monica, we had an excellent time and highly recommend your service. Bikes were well maintained and the whole process was smooth and trouble-free. A picture of one of our stops on the mountain passes in Eastern AZ:Thanks, Tom

Pete from New York

Thanks for the great ride and service. Gary and I took a nice loop through Payson, Cottonwood, Presscott and Wicksburg. It was a real work-out for me, just getting back from a bout with pneumonia. The bike performed very well, more vibration than I'm used to on my "K", but still very enjoyable.
When I'm back in town, I will look you up again.

Thanks, Pete

Incredible 4 Day Ride

I just returned from a 4 day riding trip with 2 friends. Not much went as planned but I wouldn't have changed anything.

Day 1 - Phx to Patagonia........stayed at Stage Coach Motel.....Hit the saloon for some karyoke.
Day 2 - Patagonia to Somwhere near Safford.......Camped at riverview campsites.....if you can find it you should camp there.
Day 3 - Somewhere off Sanchez Rd to Show Low....Camped at Fool Hollow Lake....it's a popular "not rugged" campsite and very nice.

Highlights.....191...191...191.....RIDE IT!! Tombstone is fun also.

This is my second time renting from Monica and Gabor.... Their advice is unrivaled and I don't think anyone maintains their bikes like Gabor (almost bought one that was on sale from them).

spring break for Dave 2009

Thanks for such an easy time from first contact, to end of ride. Thanks for a wonderfully maintained LT, help with routes, invaluable help with hints for maintenance, cleaning, and for talking with someone who loves to ride. I am a happy customer. I came needing a break, and the experience was more than I had hoped for. Thanks. Dave

AZRide, Scottsdale, AZ

Just rented a BMW 1200 LT over the weekend for a ride to Karchner Caverns. The bike was great, obviously well maintained, and performed in excess of my expectations.

AZRide "folks" are just the best; so nice, so competent, really know what they are doing and make the whole rental process easy so you can focus on the ride and not the rental. Again, they're the best!!!!

Is this a blog or an endorsement?

Thanks!!!!

Great winter break.

Jen and I spent a week in Arizona visiting her family and riding a GS around the state. The service and the bike from AZride were great.

We got up to the radar dome:

Greasewood Flats for lunch

Four Peaks

Sedona

And the Apache Trail:

We both had a great time riding in such beautiful country. We'll be back to AZride again when we're back in town! :~)

We had a wonderful four days of riding around central and northern Arizona. Monica and Gabor were very helpful and knowledgeable about not only the bikes but also which roads were the most scenic to ride.

While you might find a place to rent a motorcycle for less money, you probably won't be able to beat the expertise and personal attention provided by AZRide. Monica and Gabor delivered on their promise and provided motorcycles that were in immaculate condition. The gas tanks were full to start our ride and they even handed us free detailed maps and water bottles(you'll need these "it's a dry heat" as they say).

The following is a list of must ride routes if you are thinking of heading north from Phoenix:
Highway 89A from Prescott to Jerome then Sedona, you'll find high mountain passes and technical twisties with no room for error.
The ride up to the Grand Canyon was arrow straight however the approach to the south rim westbound on 64 was nice enough and once in the Park the road is beautiful you'll spend as much time on foot appreciating the view as you will on the bike. It's a long full day there and back from Camp Verde your better off to stay in Flagstaff.
Southbound 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona was a wild ride, you drop in elevation very quickly along the side of a mountain and all of a sudden your in the heart of Sedona.
Be sure to travel the 260 from Camp Verde to 87 and 188 for long fast sweeping curves that never seem to end who knew highway riding could be so much fun.
Highway 88 from Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat (beginning around Goldfield Ghost Town) was amazing it was rare to get out of second or third gear. If you are on a dual purpose bike you can continue from Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt.

All in all the only disappointment was that we only had four days to enjoy it all. Next time, and there will be a next time, hopefully we can spend at least a week.


All the best and enjoy it while you can!
