    Ever Ride in Arizona?

    I'm a fairly new rider in Arizona (Tempe and Chandler). I just got a Ninja 650, and was wondering if there are any others around that would want to ride sometime, teach me a thing or two.

    Or if you've ridden in AZ before, what places/area's do you recommend going to?

    Oooo, you have some nice riding near you. Pretty much everything in that big green area on the map north of you is fun. Get closer to the NM border in that other big green blob and there's more fun! Haha green blobs (National Forest, etc) are a good sign! Have fun.

    Thanks guys! Yeah i was just in Sedona this last weekend. The scenery really is amazing! Unfortunately, the trip was taken in the cage with the girlfriend - as i am not comfortable having anyone ride on my bike with me yet.

    I can not resist being a smart alec: Yup I ride in AZ every day, twice a day even to and from work. mwa ha ha. It would be fun to find a few others with here to take a ride with, other than my normal boring to and from work ride. Hit me up some time via PM or what not.
