BMW K1300GT - An Excellent Experience

This was my first rental experience on a BMW motorcycle, it was Excellent! Love the Suspension compared to the FJR I am used to. December is low season in AZ, Good time to ride, if your from the northwest, nice weather. I highly recommend AZRIDE, The equipment was like new! The first day I rode solo up to Prescott, AZ with My uncle. A stop at Yarnell for Breakfast was perfect. Nice twisties up the hill to Yarnell. Day two Cheri and I rode up to Tortilla Flats just south of Apache Junction. A great place to have Lunch and look around at the old Mining Town. This is a popular Motorcycle destination, fun little twisty ride a the native area of AZ. I will certainly be back to Rent from AZRIDE, next time will get a GS to explore some of the mountain roads and outback of AZ. Thanks Again!

Monica and Gabor,
Thank you for such a great day! We had a perfect ride and covered a lot of ground. We saw Saguaro Lake, Canyon Lake, lunch at Tortilla Flat and cruised through the historic town of Globe. The bikes were all in top condition. You and Gabor couldn't have been more patient, helpful and friendly. Your location in Old Town Scottsdale and the affordable rental prices all made for an awesome day. We'll definitely be renting again this spring.
Thanks again!

It is a pleasant surprise when you have the opportunity to deal with a truly professional and customer service oriented outfitter. Monica and Gabor are simply the best and make the process of renting a motorcycle absolutely painless.

I rented a BMW K1300GT and must say the bike was like new. I had 100% confidence in the bike and had no doubts that the motorcycle was absolutely safe to ride and would not let me down.

The safety briefing and motorcycle orientation given by Gabor was second to none. No perfunctory check out here. I have been riding for 40 years and managed to learn a thing or two to include the easy way to put a 650 lb bike up on the center stand.

Gabor helped nail down the details of my itinerary and came up with awesome recommendations regarding routing and places to visit. Monica was kind enough to let me keep the complementary helmet for an extra day for use at the AZtrackday I had scheduled for the next day.

I am already planning my next trip and will rent from AZride again (hopefully in the next month or two.)

48 Hr Itinerary
Day 1 - Afternoon
- Tuscon via Florence
- Mt Lemmon side trip

Day 2 - full day
- PIMA Air & Space Museum side trip
- Tombstone via Nogales

Day 3 - morning
- Return to Phoenix via Globe

One nice thing about this itinerary is that allows you to check in and stay at the same motel in Tuscon for two nights. I would suggest a motel on the NorthWest side of Tuscon to allow for a more leisurely return on the last morning. I stayed near the PIMA museum and wasted an hour getting out of town the last day.

I have to say that I was very pleased to deal with AZride. Many thanks to Monica and Gabor!
Your service is professional and impeccable! I can't wait to rent another bike from you guys next time I go to Arizona.

I've rented a BMW F 800 ST and the bike condition was in A1 condition - Very safe and reliable bike!

DESTINATION:
We went to TUCSON to see Summerhaven mountain
The ride at Summerhaven is just AWESOME, while ascending/descending the mountain. The view is incredible! Watch for the weather though, as we encountered some rain.

OUR HOTEL RECOMMENDATION:
#1 - The Congress Hotel: (book in advance!) A full service hotel with a great bar and restaurant, not to mention all the Indie rock band shows playing on the weekend
#2 - The Roadrunner Hostel (for those on a budget) $20 a bed and it's clean!

TIPS FOR THE ITINARY
When arriving to Tucson and heading towards SummerHaven, avoid accessing via the downtown or the south. You are better off heading to SummerHaven from the North in direction of the east, as you will ride at the bottom border south of the mountains. That is using INA road, River street, CATALINA street ...

Friends from MN

Haraldur and I had a great ride, despite the nausea on the twisties, unexpected night return on I17 and need to recruit rider friend to get bikes back due to an early morning flight. Would do it all again in a heartbeat and will definitely recommend you to our friends who ask where to rent a touring bike.
Best regards,Jeff
