You'd have to ride a roller coaster to get twistier than the ride to Bagdad. Should be a great back road ride. Seeya then !

FJRobert is Right, it's a Wild Ride; the Road to Bagdad is a Disneyland E-Ticket, definitely is our Arizona backcountry!

Don, do you want company riding from here to Wickenburg? Kenny

Kenny, I am leaving my home at 0845, map to mi casa is below. I have to take my son Seth (14) to school at 0830, will put our Jeep in the garage and jump on Ingrid, our BMW R1150RT.

You could pull into my driveway at 0815 and I would have a cup of strong coffee waiting for you.

Or, you could name a spot and a time where I could meet up with you at 0900 out on the roads!

Remember, my cellphone is on 24/7/365: 480-440-4666 or e-mail me at [email protected]

https://www.outwickenburgway.com/ Wickenburg, Arizona is a great place to live! A decade ago I almost bought a 10 acre "ranchette" outside of Wickenburg, now that I wound up retiring early I really regret I didn't move out to Wickenburg. Wickenburg is in mountains more than 1.5K feet higher in elevation than Phoenix, so it is cooler during the day and much cooler at night. At 55 miles Northwest of AZ State Capitol, it is still commuter job friendly. Great town, with nice people and plenty to do there!

 

[Old Michael]

Ooooh, to be retired.

Have a GOOD ride, amigo.

 

[Wolfhound]

Excellent ride today ! Awesome lunch on Whiskey Row in Prescott too. I wound up with about 315 miles by the time I made it back tonight.

 

[Jim in Phoenix]

I want to add my thanks to Beemerdons for organizing a great outing and to ScooterG for leading us safely to Bagdad and Prescott. The choice for lunch was excellent as well. I'm looking forward to the next one.

 

[Eileen]

Great ride. It is always fun to get out, see some new places, and carve some corners too!

I'm looking forward to the next one to Kitt Peak, I haven't been there either.

Many thanks to BeemerDons and SkooterG.

It was a pleasure riding with you Eileen, the Kitt Peak Ride will be on Wednesday, February 16. Details will be put up in Southwest section of our FJR Forum tomorrow.

We had thirteen riders on thirteen bikes on yesterday's ride. Wolfhound - FJR Robert is here on his Honda Gold Wing. A 375 mile loop from Papa Chuy's Chandler home.

Weather was fantastic, starting out at 66F in Wickenburg at the McDonald's Restaurant; and winding up at 76F back in Phoenix on the ride home.

Eilleen, Phoenix Jim and SkooterG were piloting FJR's; rest of the group were on Type 259 BMW Boxers, Billy was on a K bike. Papa Chuy was on Ingrid, R1150RT!

Four of our biker group are Snowbirds living in Yuma each Winter, two from Washington State and two from Canuckistan. David-Dashbaw is the AZ Snowbird Ringleader.
