Solo trip into the desert.

On a recent business trip to Scottsdale, I found myself done with work early and nothing to do on my last day in town. A quick trip to Google and I came accross AZRide.com. Even though I booked a Yamaha FZ6R for Sunday, Monica and Gabor were more than happy to come in and accommodate me. The bike was there waiting for me, fueled up, impeccably clean, and in perfect mechanical condition. Everything about AZRide was completely top flight, and their prices were so low I almost felt guilty. Both Monica and Gabor have a wealth of information about the local roads and riding locations, so take advantage and ask questions! Knowing I only had the bike for one day they set me up on a ride to Tortilla Flat that was one of the best experiences of my life. I fully plan on heading back to AZRide this spring with my wife so we can do a multi-day ride for our anniversary. Thanks a million!!!

Another Great MC Tour of Arizona

We just came back from our fourth MC Tour of Arizona. We've rented our bike from Monica and Gabor for each of these trips. We've always found them to be organized and very efficient getting you on the road and getting you checked in on return. One nice touch is that they always offer you bottled water when you arrive and they store you luggage for you.

We've rented a BMW 1200RT, and 3 different Gold Wings. All of the bikes were clean, well-maintained. Gabor is a wealth of knowledge about local driving conditions and the self guided tours that he and Monica have put together are both scenic and the sights build so that you build up to the major attractions.

Why have I been to Arizona for a MC tour for 4 years in a row? Easy question. It's beautiful and the roads are excellent. Another big reason, AZ Ride. I know I can trust Monica and Gabor to provide excellent service

Tips for your trip....bring a good camera, have 3 season jackets that your can take down to a mesh jacket, bring a camel bak water carrier so you and your backseater can stay hydrated, get yourself some ITW Space Compressible Bag BRS-9212ZG Vacuum-Seal Travel Roll Bags so you can maximize your packing, GPS highly recommended, and I like a half helmet with a 1/2 length face shield, and depending on when you go thermals like skier's wear and warm weather gloves.

AZ ride

Hey Folks

Got an e-mail inviting me to contribute to the AZ Ride blog so I figured I would give it a shot.

In short, excellent customer service, very efficient with the paperwork, and overall a good experience.

I will be back in Phoenix in October/November and I will be renting a bike from them again.......only this time a bigger one!
