The 11th GO AZ Motorcycles Sedona Ride Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles Peoria

We’ve partnered with GO AZ Motorcycles on a Sedona Ride out of one of their dealerships since before we’ve formed our Ride Series that exclusively leaves from one of their locations. This being the 11th running of the ride, we had to drop the “Annual” because of having to cancel in 2020 due to good ole COVID-19.

We all gathered at GO AZ’s Peoria location for the start of the ride and after sign in and a brief rider’s meeting we mostly were off down Bell Rd towards US 60 and in to Wickenburg. Right at the first light, the group broke up in to two… The slog across Bell Rd and west on US 60 was somewhat tolerable because of the fairly light traffic and mild temperatures.

Joshua Tree Tour Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles Peoria

We are rolling west from our sponsor Goaz Motorcycles of Peoria. It’s a nice morning , warming up nicely from a cold start. El Presidente has just given our ride meeting for the 2023 Joshua Tree Tour Ride. Our trip will take us West to the Joshua Tree National park in the Yucca Valley/Twenty Nine Palms area of California. Day one is to get to Yucca Valley, have lunch, look around and have dinner.  Rolling west felt good, temperatures were rising and the pace was good. El President was out front keeping up a steady pace. Riding thru Wickenburg our first stop was gas in Parker, a favorite stop at Terrible Herbst Chevron provided a nice break for all. Next will be Yucca Valley but probably not in time to make the lunch stop, but we will stop there anyway and check it.  Arriving in Twenty Nine Palms there was lotta activity, looked like a flea market with street vendors. El Presidente, Victor Castaneda had to try the restaurant on the main street called Castanenda’s ( a local chain in the area), Others went on their hotels to check in and other activities..

The Alien Invasion Tour Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles Peoria

Ten, Nine, eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One — a great flash of light, a mushroom shaped cloud rising into the desert sky, a moment that changed the course of civilization. The first nuclear bomb was ignited. Fast forward to October 15, 2022 and you are waiting at the Stallion Gate of the White Sands Missile Test Range waiting to goto the exact place where the the bomb was first set off. Wait, this place is top secret? radioactive? Radiation is dangerous right?.!

Lake Havasu Ride Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles, Peoria, AZ – December 7, 2019

by  El Presidente

Our last ride of the year was a return to some of the roots from when we were a Triumph Owners Club.  Every year, we would take our “British” bikes (some were built in Indonesia…) over London Bridge in Lake Havasu.  Though we switched our focus over the years to being more about riding than what brand of motorcycle you own, we thought it would be fun to visit Lake Havasu and the curiosity of London Bridge.
