Here is Don Robertson, the owner of the Gold Mine Ghost Town in Jerome. I waved to him on the street by our hotel and he stopped to tell us about his ghost town. The bike is a 1941 Harley 45.

Here are some of Don's treasures. His ghost town is a great side trip, especially if your a gearhead.

This is a view from our balcony at the Matterhorn Inn in Sedona. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Here is a picture of the wildflowers going up the mountain south of Payson.

We really enjoyed our trip. Thanks for your help.

I'd like to say thanks for your help in making our sedona vacation so great and the renting of the bike so smooth. I cant imagine a better bike than the Goldwing for two and your reduced mileage rate was practical and affordable for us. It was 32 degrees riding to work this AM so we've got a ways to go yet.

I am Todd and I've been riding in AZ since ~1990. Been there, done that (got stuck there...got lost there...) but still enjoy doing it. I'm considering buying a GS1200 so I rented one from AZ rides. I found them on time, knowledgeable, and just darn nice (bikes are immaculate as well). I took it up through Superior and Globe, and then up to Roosevelt lake. Passed a half dozen car clubs enjoying the AZ backroads (one was a string of about 15 classic 1940's cars all restored, a joy to pass slowly on a beautiful day). Down the Apache trail and back to Tempe in just a few hours round trip. Beautiful ride, very mellow, but delicious curves the GS just carved through - oh and the usual stunning AZ scenery of the salt river canyon. Stopped by Victory BMW in Tempe and started pricing a new GS :-)

I highly recommend the experience for anyone. It will be the best ~$250 you've spent on yourself in a long time.

Go. Do. Ride.

We greatly enjoyed renting the Goldwing from MCTOURS and riding in Arizona. My only regret is that we did not take the bike longer. The ride to Sedona on Route 89A was awesome. I didn't take many pictures -- was too busy riding. I was enjoying the bike so much, I didn't want to get off. Next time I want to try the Concours 14. I have a frequent flyer pass I need to use. I'll probably see you again in the Fall. Gabor and Monica, your bikes are awesome and in top shape. The Goldwing ran perfectly. Until next time! --Mike and Trish

Thanks for the opportunity of this wonderful experience. Everything was just great, the trip that was programmed in the GPS worked fantastic, if there were any missed turns, it was driver error as I was enjoying the 1800 Goldwing, Fantastic Ride, Beautiful Scenery. This was my first trip to Phoenix / Scottsdale, the hospitality that you showed was way above expectations. Thanks so much for making our Arizona Trip one that we will treasure for many years to come. We enjoyed the Roosevelt Lake & Damm as well as Apache Trail with the long and winding road a beautiful trip on a Wing! What can I say except "Ya done good!" Thanks for everything. We Loved it!

My brother in law and I were in Scottsdale for training and decided to take a last minute site seeing trip. He and I thought a ride would be the best way of seeing AZ. After a few minutes on the internet we came across AZride.com. There site offered what we were looking for: Great bikes (BMW 1200 RT's), gear, travel planning, and location. We showed up at 9am without reservations. Monica and Gabor welcomed us in and treated us great. Monica handled all the paper work quickly, and explained things very well. Gabor handled the techincal once over with the bikes. He too was very helpful and friendly. Within an hour we were on our way. Following the advice of Monica and Gabor we headed up toward Prescot. On the way we stop at Lake Pleasure, Vulture mine, Wickenburg and a few other places.

The bikes were great. AZride's bikes were clean, awesome condition and what can one say about a BMW 1200 RT other than awesome!

This is without a doubt the best one day ride I've every had. Both Wynn and I had smiles from ear to ear all day long and for the last few days.

I you're looking to reduce stress, low blood pressure rent a cycle from AZride and forget your worries. Both of us will be back soon for a longer tour.

Thanks again Monica and Gabor.
