Arizona's Premiere Rider's Club
The summer heat may have kept many off their bikes, but it didn’t stop us from showing up for the August Dinner Meeting. As an added bonus, we were especially happy to have some of the AZRATPack kids join us!
Every year I write up the description of this ride, I always include the words “challenging loop.” Sometimes I get flak for using this phrase describing a trip to Sedona, but if you factor in the time of the year, you can get various challenges like, rain, cold, heat, sleet, and haboobs. Over the years of putting this ride on together with our sponsor, GO AZ Motorcycles, we’ve experienced all of the above!

Your blood thickens and your heart pumps much harder to circulate blood throughout the body.
Our monthly 2nd Sunday Breakfast in Prescott created us with some welcome 75 degree temperatures along with some clouds in the sky! So much better than the 112 degrees currently in Buckeye! The weather forecast all week called for a 40% chance of rain up north. Monsoon season in Arizona is upon us!
This month we are going to focus on the three most important things on the bike. The two contacts (tires) and the one under the helmet. Everything we do rides on the tires. We need to train ourselves on the importance of checking and maintaining our tires. Protection against avoidable breakdowns and crashes, improved vehicle handling, better fuel economy, and increased tire life. Just a few reasons to check your tire pressure EVERY day.
