Route 66 Tour Details Announced

Parts Unkown, AZ

by El Presidente

Join us for a ride that has been a long standing tradition of our club.  Our annual Route 66 Tour will start in Scottsdale then lend you an opportunity to live “Take It Easy” by the Eagles and “Stand on the corner of Winslow, Arizona”.  We will then head west on as much of the Mother Road as possible and end the night in historic Williams.  The next morning, we will roll through Ash Fork and head into Seligman for breakfast, the town that inspired the original Disney movie, “Cars”.  After breakfast we will continue on Route 66 and make stops in Hackberry, Kingman and historic Oatman where Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their wedding night.  We will then head for Laughlin, NV and the Colorado Belle for a stop for the night.  On Sunday morning, we’ll get up early and head to a more modern Route 66 attraction, Topock66 for breakfast.  From here,  you’re on your own to head back home via the route of your choosing.

July 2nd Sunday Breakfast Recap

Nichol’s West, Congress, AZ – July 14, 2019

by El Presidente

Today was promising to be either really hot or “monsoony” when I left the house on my Honda. The ride up was somewhat cool and overcast, but at least dry and not very humid which made for a nice ride up through Wickenburg and into Congress for this morning’s 2nd Sunday Breakfast at Nichol’s West, a perennial favorite of the club’s.

Please RSVP

I’d like to clear up a little confusion as to how and why to RSVP to any of our events.  Here are some guidelines for you:

  • Please always RSVP on the website.  This makes it easy for us to get an accurate count in one place for who’s attending an event.  Very important for 2nd Sunday Breakfast and General Membership Meetings & Dinner that involve restaurants.  If we have a good amount of RSVPs, we will call ahead, make a reservation or simply give a warning that a large group is coming.  This will help us have enough spots at the table for people to sit and eat comfortably.
  • Facebook RSVPs will not be counted!  Always follow the link on the Facebook Event page to our website to RSVP.
  • Entering bike information helps us determine how to divide groups on a ride and alerts us of what type of group is coming.  That way we know if we’re going to have a bunch of cruisers or sport bikes or both!
  • In the future, we will be using the RSVP on the website as a check in for an event.

Thanks for being a member and if you’re not, you can become one here!

June 2nd Sunday Breakfast Recap

Lakeshore Restaurant, Mesa, AZ – June 9, 2019

by El Presidente

This morning’s ride to Saguaro Lake started for me in Buckeye with temps in the mid 70’s. I was very excited to take the Honda across town because of the great weather! I wasn’t disappointed! I left my garage at about 7:00 AM for the 65 mile trek across town. I wasn’t in a real rush because I had gotten a report that the Lakeshore Restaurant opened at 9, not at our breakfast meet time of 8.

May 2nd Sunday Breakfast Recap

Rock Springs Café, Rock Springs, AZ – May 12, 2019

by El Presidente

Our yearly Mother’s Day visit to the Rock Springs Café started with the best weather for a romp up Loop 303 to I-17 and up to Rock Springs. The combination of the cool temperature, overcast skies with the predawn showers made for a nice, crisp smell in the air. Motorcycles are happiest with this type of weather!

Alien Encounters Grand Tour Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles, Peoria, AZ – May 3, 2019

by  El Presidente

Planning for the Alien Encounters tour starts about a year ago when California AZRATPacker, Darlene Fong sent me a couple of interesting links she found while looking up alien themed places to visit.  The first was Coyote’s Flying Saucer Repair in Ocotillo, CA and the second was the Integretron in Landers.  Loving the two suggestions for stopping points on a future ride, I started to formulate a route to tie the two together.  I then added a trip through Death Valley and El Chino Loco suggested the Atomic Inn in Beatty, NV as a stop for the night.  Behold, the Alien Encounters Grand Tour was born!
