Actually Casa Grande but still. Close to Phoenix. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I'm a little sad to be leaving my home state but at the same time looking forward to a place new and a new life. I don't know anyone so if anyone can point out where the riding spots are in town and if someone can show me around, let me know. Thanx!

This was some local info I gave some people a few months ago who also just moved here. He's now turned into a track junkie. His woman is pissed but its for the best. Hope this helps.
There are a several decent roads in AZ. Most require a bit of a drive to get to however.
1. Hwy 89 from Yarnell to Prescott.
2. Alt 89 from Prescott to Jerome.
3. Parts of Hwy 87 from Mesa to Payson.
4. Hwy 60 from Globe to Show Low.
5. Tortilla Flatts hwy 88 east of Apache Junction.
6. Mount Lemon in Tucson.
7. Kitt Peak Observatory east of Tucson.
8. Mount Graham south of Safford.
9. Hwy 191 from Clifton to Alpine
10. Hwy 180 in New Mexico and Hwy 78, completes the 230+mile loop from Clifton.
1-6 are normally patrolled with very little chance of getting out of a ticket.
7-10 are very seldom patrolled with 9 being the best road and 10 the second.
Hangouts? Mill Ave in Tempe, ASU is right next to it. The Pavillions in Scottsdale on Saturday nights. I can't remember the cross streets.
TeamAZ is the better of the two trackday outfits here locally. www.asmaracing.com (http://www.asmaracing.com) is most technical track and cheapest to run. I'm always looking for new riders to go to Arroyo Seco with me.
Send me a PM if you guys (anybody) want to do the Clifton run or the track in New Mexico

Pavillions = Indian Bend and the 101
if you went there more than once a year - you'd remember that http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif

I still haven't gotten around to hitting any of the roads on Philbie's list, but want to badly. If you explore some drop me a pm. I'm right off the freeway when you hit Phoenix (actually, Tempe) and easy to find. If you want to check out Mill Ave. or Pavillions I'd be down for that as well.
