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. Pack initiative from Triumph to start a community in the style of Harley Owners Group (HOG). PIM was later sold to the Superstore group and became Triumph Superstore who continued to sponsor the club.

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.

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.

Route 66 Tour Recap

GO AZ Motorcycles Scottsdale

This year’s running of our Route 66 Tour felt extra special, extra fun! The west to east route had been run in the past and all the stops are the same but it I’m sure it had to do with the eclectic mix of people that attended the ride. Along with the usual suspects, we had a bunch of new faces participate, along with people that have ridden our rides before, but on their first Route 66 Tour with us.
