Thanks! Just trying to follow the herd of weirdos..quackPOT said:
Yeah.. people bitch about how it's too hot to ride in the summer, and too cold in the winter. Makes you wonder if anyone ever rides at all. :laughing
Diitto on the gorgeous weather.. I was even stuck in traffic after work, and I didn't mind because it was so nice out. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Texas, but Arizona kicks mucho ass.
Yup..... weather was sweeeeeeet today.... one tip though, always know where you are...... I wasn't paying attn to where I was riding because it was so nice, and I ended up in south phoenix on third st. just north of buckey............. HOLY $#!t !!! thought someone was gonna KILL me!!! needless to say, I didn't come to a "complete" stop at the intersections........ Oh well, It was a perfect riding day !!!
Later,

I know you guys have some kick ass riding roads too. One of my brother-in-laws lives in Tempe. We went and visted a while ago and he(doesn't ride) took us on a trip(car) out to canyon lake and powell lake. I wished I had my bike with me because that would've been an excellent ride. Do you guys ride out there a lot?
Year round riding weather like FL but tons of twisties!:jedi

SBW is down for the server upgrade today, so I decided to stop by and say hi over here instead. Another AZ/Phoenix rider here. 41k miles on my 2-fiddy since April 2000. Thank God the temps are coming down now! Sure, it's a year-round riding climate, but that doesn't mean it's all that fun riding in the middle of the day in July!
"I ended up in south phoenix on third st. just north of buckeye"
I work downtown and live southwest of Phoenix... the end result is a daily trip through South Phoenix. It's certainly a far cry from rolling through Paradise Valley, but I wouldn't exactly fear for my life in South Phoenix. Geez... the worst neighborhood in Phoenix doesn't come close to the ghettos in other major cities!
4:20pm and not much more time to waste at work today...

Well I live in Oregon now but I grew up in Scottsdale and god do I miss it. I'm sittin here watching ASU lose to Oregon St. The freakin Beavers for christ sake!! We need Jake and the rest of his boys back at ASU. In fact all of my Arizona teams are losing excecpt for the one I hate, the cardinals. Im so sick of the people up here talking about how great the Ducks are.
Anyway, I hoping to bring my bike there this winter to ride around my old stomping grounds. Still trying to decide if I'm gonna get a new truck or a trailer for it. I hate the summers there but the fall, winter and spring are the best. Someday I will be back for good. Maybe when the economy gets going again I will get the courage to change jobs. My heart is in AZ even if my bike and I are not.
WooooHOOOO ASU just scored!!!!!:redflip

AMEN to that! I'm an anti-Bidwell guy, so it would certainly be a good day when the Cardinals packed up and left for good! Send them someplace far... like Oregon!

I'm also a Sun Devil right now, so I'm hoping they can at least beat ONE quality team this year... and UA too, of course! Thus far, all they've been doing is beating the crap out of Division I-AA schools and a very crappy Stanford team this year. Diamondbacks lost... Coyotes losing... yes, it sucks right now!
Anyway, definitely catch up with us when you come back out to AZ and we'll hook up for at least a ride. And who knows... as crappy as this economy is... I might just have to accept a job offer in Oregon after I graduate this December!...

I was a Sundevil. Even though I graduated from ASU I still like to watch UofA and I cheer for them except when they play ASU. I glad they beat the Beavs. Oh yeah, dont come to Oregon without a job. We have the highest unemployment rate in the country!!!!:shake
