Dream, Discover, Ride.
We wish to thank all of you who rode with us this last season and all of you who have joined our mailing list. If you find our newsletter of interest, please be sure to forward it on to others who might enjoy reading it.

The 2011 touring Schedule is set. We have re-vamped our tours with three new longer tours for 2011, The Colorado Ultimate Mountain Adventure Tour, the American Soutwest tour and the Baja 2011 Tour.

The 2010 Baja tour was fantastic. Snow was visible on the high peaks east of Ensenada but things heated up as we rode south. The high Desert of Cataviña is filled with cardón cactus, the world’s largest species,and the strange looking boojum trees which, look like giant green inverted carrots. The ride into Bahia de Los Angeles, drops down from the high desert and presents a picture postcard bay dotted with islands. This year we will travel to La Paz with the option to ride to Cabo.

The 2011 Baja tour is available for booking now. The tour will start in Yuma, AZ on Saturday, March 12th (hotel stay included on the 11th) and end in Tucson on Friday March 25th (hotel included Friday March 25.)

Motorcycle rentals are available in Phoenix/Scottsdale – call us for details. Watch the video on YouTube

Sonora Tours
We still have spaces available for the 2010 8-day Rio Sonora Tours October 16 to 23. These tours will visit the all new Hotel Los Arcos de Sonora.

A word about Mexico: TV and newspapers around the world and in the US in particular have reported on the violence in Mexico. Mexico is a large country and the violence, while real, is limited to the larger border towns such as Juarez and Tijuana and a few cities in the south. Robert Reid, who has contributed to Lonely Planet's Mexico volumes and serves as the New York-based U.S. travel editor for the guidebook publisher, likes to remind people that Mexico is about the size of France, Spain, Germany and Italy -- combined. Before you let trouble in one corner of the country affect your travel to another corner, he said, "Imagine a shootout in Sicily forcing a canceled vacation in Germany."
We live in Mexico, we understand the situation and we know where the trouble is and we avoid it. Our number one goal is a safe trip for our riders and ourselves.

Grand Arizona
This 8-day tour has it all. We pack the red rock canyons of Sedona, the awe inspiring Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, the Four Corners, the White Mountains and the Devils Highway into an eight-day motorcycle vacation that you'll never forget. Rentals available in Phoenix/Scottsdale

The Colorado Ultimate Mountain Tour (14-days) This tour has more Colorado than any other. Ride to the top of Mt. Evans (14,264 ft.) on North America's highest paved road. Discover the incredible beauty and rich wildlife of Rocky Mountain National Park Ride the headwaters of the mighty Colorado River.

If you have ever wanted to ride Colorado, this is the tour for you.
