Arizona Motorcycle Adventures Kickoff Event 2021
'Thursday April 1st, 2021 7:30'
This adventure is over.
Over the years my wife Jackie and I have rented motorcycles from Colorado Motorcycle Adventures in Denver. We've come to know Scott Lee, the owner, and have been quite pleased with the bikes he's been able to provide.
I received a call in February that Colorado Motorcycle Adventures was expanding into Arizona, and there would be a kickoff event for the new location April 1. A spot was open, was I interested?
"You should go", Jackie said.
It didn't take much more convincing. After this pandemic period with almost no travel, here was a unique opportunity that I just couldn't pass up.
It's been 9 years since I last rode motorcycles in Arizona. On that trip, Jackie and I rented a Harley and based out of Scottsdale. It was a nice change of pace, different scenery. We mostly rode north and east, the highlight was Sedona.
I'm solo this time so it's a different experience. I'm flying in and out of Phoenix where the group will meet and I pick up my rental bike from Scott. From there, we head south a few hours to Bisbee on the Mexican border. We're staying 3 nights in a small historic hotel in town.
It will also be different as I'm on my preferred bike, a 2020 BMW 1250 GSA HP. I'm looking forward to getting off the pavement and exploring the mountains and canyons in the surrounding area. Scott has scouted and laid out numerous loop rides so there are lots of choices.
Now it's just watching the calendar, watching the clock, and getting things packed for the road.
It will be so nice to travel again!
