Tortilla Flat is a nice day trip. Take the 60 east all the way to Idaho Rd, then go north and follow the AZ 88/apache trail signs. After you get out of Apache Junction, turns into a 2 lane road with some fun twists. Canyon lake is up there and a restaurant by the name of Tortilla Flat. After the the restaurant the road gets smoother and less trafficy so I usually run that a couple three times (it turns to dirt after a bit) Hit me up if you'd like to ride and aren't too fast... cause I'm somewhat of a noob on the bike.

Longer trip is Payson beeline - I17 loop. Or even longer on to Prescott and Wickenberg. Or on up to Flagstaff the back way via Mormon Lake.

Also the Bush Highway out east is a good short trip... West side there is Vulture Mine RD.. Lots of good rides, you just gotta get out of the city.

So many new AZ Hawkers.... neat! I don't know of any good roads in the Phoenix area... not because there aren't any... I just never ride down there. There are few great roads for a day trip though...
-Yarnell Hill
-Salt River Canyon

yeah, i remember salt river canyon. I used to run up and down that way when i could(with a semi) and used to stop half way at a wide spot and enjoy the view. Would be a cool ride.

Hey man I may be interested- I've been trying to get my VTR back in commission and antsy to get some work done this weekend, but if today goes well I'll join y'all on my Shadow.

Alex98vtr

I may be up for the ride tomorrow - Have to see if I have any other obligations. Done that trip a few times in the last few months.
At least when we ride with other SH's we already expect to stop for gas A LOT.
I'll hit you up with a TXT before the ride if I can make it.

Sedona and Jerome are always packed full of tourists and LEO's on the weekends. You'd be better off heading to Bagdad on a Sunday via hwy's 93/89/96. Good roads!

Ok so not likely that I'm going to make it. Bummer. BUT would be interested in rides in the future! Especially if experienced riders are patient and willing to lead a few to teach my noob bones some tricks of the trade...

Alex98vtr

Herbie

Just finished the work I had do do today. Don't think I'm going to be able to get to MMI from Tempe in 20 min
PM me next time you go on a ride and I'll hook up with you guys.
