Arizona's Premiere Rider's Club
We are happy to announce that Shain has stepped up to help shape the future of the AZRATPack by volunteering to be on our board of directors!
After consistently riding and attending our events for the last bunch of years, she brings experience of belonging to and being part of planning of various clubs, organizations and motorcycle related events. We look forward to your contributions!
Welcome to the Board Shain!
Another great trip along Route 66 in the books! This year we took an easterly heading into New Mexico which we’ve only done once before. Though we didn’t log in many miles on actual Route 66, which is very difficult in this part of Arizona, we did see many of the sites people traveling the Mother Road would have veered off to see plus we managed to avoid I-40 for the most part!

Tonight’s dinner was a combination of catching up with motorcycle friends, talking about old times and some Cuban culture.
It was a fairly warm ride over to Peoria & 43rd Ave where Cuban Foods is located. I left a little early to visit Sam Ash music store less than a mile away. When I arrived at the restaurant, Rodney, Jo and Brian were already there with our table set up.

It has come to my attention that there was a bit of confusion and some disorganization at the start of the Southern Arizona Tour. I would like to re-iterate the procedures that has already been established by the club’s Board of Directors for the start of each ride.

After a late night out with a few drinks, it was a difficult task to roll out of bed this morning to head over to Surprise to Jim’s Burgers & Eggs. Normally, I probably would have slept in, but since the chair of this event, Dean is off to the SCMA gathering in Rocky Point with a few others, I stepped up to be the point person for this morning’s breakfast. So, I needed to be there!

We currently are looking for three people to fill open seats on our Board of Directors. We’re looking for people that are enthusiastic about what we’re doing, willing to learn about the inner workings of our club, riding and motorcycles along with being fairly tech friendly. The AZRATPack is an AMA Chartered Club. We are a tight knit group looking for the right people!

This month’s dinner meeting saw us return to the site of where the AZRATPack was born and our first dealer sponsor. The club was formed in 2003 at Phoenix International Motorsports, formerly Dirt & Street as part of the R.A.T. Pack initiative from Triumph to start a community in the style of Harley Owners Group (HOG). PIM was later sold to the Superstore group and became Triumph Superstore who continued to sponsor the club.

It’s been over a year since I’ve been on the road with the RatPack. It felt great to see old friends and new faces on our first ride of 2022! We welcomed new board members, Sebastian and Dean, and missed our fearless leader, Victor, as he couldn’t make this ride.
The ride started at GO AZ Motorcycles in Scottsdale, which as always, showed massive support for the Club. I led the rider’s meeting, and it was great to see all the eager faces ready to brave a somewhat chilly morning. With 20 plus bikes in attendance, I led the way out of the dealership around 9:45 am. Rodney and Stoops ran ahead of the group to set up some drone shots at the dam, and Dean, on his glorious Gold Wing, was the ride sweep. We didn’t know it then, but that Gold Wing, with its extremely comfortable passenger seat, would star later in the ride.
