Southern California Motorcycle Association Meet Up

From our friends at the SCMA:

May 13/14, 2022 Playa Bonita Hotel, Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Son Mx.

It’s been a long, long time since we’ve had the opportunity to connect with one another. Between COVID, world events and just life it would be nice to be motorcycle people again!! You know, burn gas, eat great food, hang out and tell all our stories…..

To fill that that burning desire SCMA members and friends, affiliate clubs and friends are invited to join a bunch of SCMA people in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), SON, MX for a weekend of good company, relaxation, and fun.  Oh, by the way, at the beach. What else could be better?

February General Membership Meeting & Dinner Recap

Culinary Dropout/The Yard, Phoenix, AZ

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.

February Club Breakfast Recap

Biscuits – Foothills, Ahwatukee, AZ

Met up with Todd in Arrowhead as we learned on the last ride that we both live near each other. I asked Todd to lead to Ahwatukee as I am still getting use to the Garmin. We went a different route than when I originally scouted the restaurant the previous month. As it turns out heading down the 101 W to 10 E to get to the 202 was a much quicker route.

Roosevelt Lake Ride Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles Scottsdale

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.
