As previously stated, the riding here is excellent. We ride year round and have a great group that sets up rides almost every weekend. These are the best people you could hope to meet. Check out the Southwest Forum for some of our posts. They include a lot of pics too. The state is very diverse in geography and climate. To avoid the summer heat we ride up to the mountains early in the day and return after sunset. No need to stop riding any time of the year. Do I hop on my bike for a quick afternoon ride in August? He11 no, but it is only an hour ride to higher ground and cooler weather and the scenery is awesome! A day trip in the mountains is the answer to the desert heat. Winters are the opposite. Stay out of the mountains and the weather can't be beat.

"boat" = Money pit in the water.
Yer comming from the midwest and yer gonna have a big culture shock if you move to any place in the Southwest. Some people I know have adjusted and stayed, others have moved back. It's different.

AZ is awesome for year 'round riding. It'll be very hot in Kingman June-Oct but not too bad for a night ride even in the worst heat. AZ scenery is second to none. Trees are overrated, but we got plenty of those in the White Mtns just in case you miss 'em.

I love riding without the glass up front, and if I had my druthers, I would only keep the helmet in my bag for when it starts hailing. Yes, it's happened to me and it SUCKS.
