Mike from Denver

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.
