I had an awsome time with the F800S


Arrived in Phoenix. There are many cheap and good hotels conveniently located near the skyharbor airport.

Orange trees everywhere, this one was in Arizona State University
I was waiting to eat one but there were too many people around, maybe next time.

This is somthing you dont see everyday, it was a spectacular veiw
too bad I lost my camera in California and had to buy the cheapest camera at Radio Shack

I've only seen twinkies in the movies, always wanted to try one.
I'm never going to eat these again.

A real cactus wow. is it cactuses or cacti?
I heard from somebody it's cactie or somthing :(
I still say fishes and waters and gooses airs.....
Anyways I took over 100 photos of different cactuses
if anyone has interest in Arizona cactuses mail me at
beautifulmelons@gmail.com
I will be very happy to exchange my cactus photos with any photos of melons.

The open road, beautiful weather, and no traffic.
A bike that goes up to 230kilometers per hour. cheap gasoline
what else do I want? nothing!

I stopped to chat with 2 tanned and attractive girls at some parking lot
I said I'm new to the country and asked them if they are models.
They seemed to like it.

My first vacation to the states was a perfect one thanks to the nice people at AZride!
Originally my plan was to stay only in California but my father had some urgent buisness in Phoenix So I sort of tagged along because I heard that the weather in Arizona is crisp and clear in the winter!
I rented the bike for 24hours and I think I signed all the recommended insurance forms just in case. Which turned out to be a good decision because of a flat tire at the end of the day.
I have rented bikes in countless countries but out of all the places
I've rented before AZride.com had one of the the most organized systems and were professional in all aspects.
The bike was in top condition well maintained and washed. I was given a good enough helmet (but I wish i brought my own one), and pannier boxes(I'm not sure what you call them) some cleaning spray and a disk lock. All at free of charge. which doesnt happen elsewhere in the world. you always have to pay extra
For those people who come from abroad(in my case Korea) be sure to check with your credit card company beforehand. The security bond(?) was 1500$ and some cards allow only a certain amount of withdrawal or payment when used out of your country.
I will probably be back next winter for some more Arizona. I Hope to rent a Royal Enfield next time!
Thank you for reading and I hope my written English is understandable.
Ride safe everyone.

Great Rental

Was in Phoenix with my Son and rented two bikes from AZRide for a day. Best prices in town and the bikes were in showroom shape and maintained to perfection. Monica was extremely helpful with where to ride and the total experience was great. Highly recommend this outlet for fun and positive experience. Will use again

Awesome Trip!

Thanks for a fantastic vacation! The bike was great, so was the scenery and food. Really hard to come back to 25 degrees in Philadelphia. The ride to Sedona via Jerome was challenging and fun. Going out towards Globe the next day was like riding through an alien landscape, and the enchiladas weren't bad once I got there. Always fun to try out different bikes.

Here's a request for a lowered R1200RT.

Thanks again!

Just wanted to reiterate how pleased I was with the fun experience renting the Yamaha FJR from you, and Gabor. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Best regards,

GS at the Soleri Sundial Bridge

I recently rented a Yamaha FJR 1300 from AZride.. Monica and Gabor were very friendly, helpful and professional. The bike was in excellent condition and Gabor explained all the details well. I was given a nice route to follow on a "poor man's GPS (a nice map)". I have about 50,000 K on an ST 1100 so the FJR felt quite comfortable and very responsive. It's a perfect bike for this kind of trip. Once I got out of the city, the riding was fantastic. Breathtaking scenery and nice curvy roads that were well maintained made for wonderful riding. It was some of the most rewarding motorcycling I have done in 40 years. I definitely plan to come back and rent at AZ again,

Regrettably, we did not take any photos but despite that our experience was excellent. The “check-out” process was flawless and quick, everything we needed to know was explained clearly regarding insurance, and the walk through of the bikes was thorough and very helpful. Both of our bikes were in impeccable condition and well maintained. All of these things combined to make a fantastic experience. Thank you and continued success.

The only sad part is leaving. like I told Ron, this place was love at first sight. And riding a motorcycle here has been one of the happiest experiences of my life. I really mean that.


The Royal Enfield 500 Bullet was a sturdy, dependable, strong little bike and we really bonded this week.
