Cyclerides.com Weekly
Update
3/21/12
Greetings Riders,
If you missed the Weekly Update last week, you can click here to
read. As a reminder to those that did read it, the
Cyclerides.com Westgate Bike Night presented by the Law Tigers will begin the Spring season on Thursday,
March 29th and will continue with 14 consecutive Thursday nights through June
28th. Don’t miss the first night, it should be huge! See details
below.
I’ve
been trying to come up with a good way to purvey all of the Arizona Bike Week
activities and other events going on that week in one concise way. If I list all the events here, it just turns into information overload.
The fact of the matter is that there are so many events going on at any given
time, that you couldn’t possibly do them all, so I just decided to list in the
newsletter a few of the highlighted events over the next 10 days. From there you
can go to the Arizona Bike Week Event Page to
see details of all of their events. You can also go to the Cyclerides.com Event Page to see
some other events going on.
This
is exactly what I did last night. I went through each day of the
ABW events page to familiarize myself with details and then to the Cyclerides
page to try and get a handle on what we would be doing. Like I said above, there
are so many choices that it would be impossible to do them all, so I am just
going to give you a little snapshot of what my week might look like. And even
this itinerary is subject to change with some visits to other events if
possible. But if you happen to be at any of these, look me up to say
Hey!
My
Personal Itinerary:
Friday: March 23rd -
Chester’s Backstage Biker Bash for the kickoff
party.
Saturday: March 24th - Stop by the MMI Bike Week Open House to see the Custom Bike
Shop competition. Stop by the American Legion Riders Tribute to Kimmy Chapman in Fountain Hills. Go to
the Buddy Stubbs Bike Week Bash where I will be
helping judge the Bikini Contest at 3:45 PM. Then to Chester’s HD for the
Molly Hatchet/Blackfoot concert.
Sunday: March 25th - We will do the loop out to
The
Hideaway to see the AZ Builder’s Bash and then on to
Greasewood for the Bike Week Music Festival before finishing out the afternoon
at the Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale 1st Annual Sunday Blast Off
Party for the Bret Michaels concert at 7 PM.
Wednesday: March 28th - Wednesday’s Riding for Kids at Buddy Stubbs. Nice
230 mile ride through Northern Arizona.
Thursday: March 29th - Cyclerides.com Westgate
Bike Night Presented by The Law Tigers. Come help us
kick off the first Bike Night of the season. 5-9 PM. Live Music with Sour Diesel
Trainwreck, Vendors, LOTS of BIKES! Then head out to the Puddle of Mudd concert
at Westworld.
Friday: March 30th - The
Hamsters Charity “Dry Heat” Run! This is a huge run that
begins at Paul Yaffe’s Bagger Nation and goes to Greasewood Flat. Friday night
we will be at Cyclefest to see the REO Speedwagon concert.
Saturday: March 31st - The
13th Annual Torch Ride. We will be helping lead this
Escorted ride with the Outlaws band members for a scenic ride to Chester’s HD
for the Outlaws concert. We will then be off to Cyclefest to enter the Mako
Glide into Baddest Bagger Bike Show presented by Bagger
Nation and American Bagger magazine. Another good ride would be the “Puttin for
Pooches” ride for the Humane Society leaving from
Chandler Harley-Davidson.
Sunday: April 1st - We will be helping lead the
1st Annual Crusaders for the Children “Child Empowerment
Ride” from Arrowhead Harley-Davidson to Cyclefest with
Opie and Lyla from the “Sons of Anarchy” TV show. This is now going to be an
Escorted ride. Opie and Lyla will be available for Photo Op’s at both locations.
Then will head down to Chester’s to see Mogollon in Concert at the end of Lagan’s Ride.
As I
said before, it is impossible to do everything, but this is just what it looks
like through my eyes at this time. There are plenty of good events
and a lot of people including dealerships, businesses and Arizona Bikeweek are
stepping up to make this what could be one of the best Arizona
Bikeweek’s so far. I look forward to seeing you on the road and at the
events.
Tidbits
and Updates:
Kimmy
Chapman Memory.
With
ABW rolling around again, I can’t help but think about the shocking news I got
last year on the first Saturday of bike week. Late afternoon on
March 26th, 2011 I learned that Kimmy Chapman, founder of the Biker Information
Guide, had been killed in a motorcycle accident. (See
Story) She was always such a fixture during
bike week that it just wasn’t the same not seeing her around. As we go into the
start of bike week again, I will reflect back to the last time that I saw her on
Friday night at the Chester’s Back Stage Biker Bash. Let’s all use her memory as
a reminder to be EXTRA CAREFUL when riding this year and be
responsible with drinking before getting on your bike. We don’t want to lose any
more great souls like Kimmy Chapman. We all miss you Kimmy.
Cyclerides.com Westgate
Bike Night presented by the Law Tigers.
The opening night this year should be a big one with not only riders,
but we are sharing it with a Coyote game on the same night. To
celebrate the opening of Bike Night, the Coyotes are offering $40 upper level
seats for only $20. So if you have never seen an NHL Hockey game or been in
Jobing.com arena to see the ice, this would be a good opportunity to at least go
in and watch a period of professional hockey. Simply go to www.phoenixcoyotes.com/bikenight and put in the special offer
code “puck” to create the account to order your discounted tickets. Parking is free for motorcycles. (See
Flyer)
To kick off bike night this season we will
be featuring the newest creations of
Jim Nasi Custom Motorcycles as
well as bringing back crowd favorite
“Sour Diesel Trainwreck” featuring their silky smooth southern rock
covers and well as their own music. If you haven’t seen these guys before, you
are in for a real treat.
I am really excited to kick off the Cyclerides.com Westgate Bike Night again this year
and look forward to seeing all of my bike night friends again. So grab your riding buddies and stop by to
help me kick it off! Should be a fun night and a great season as we have top
notch bands and special attractions planned for you along the way. Plan on
making the trip out to help us get started on another bike night season. This
will still leave you plenty of time to get out to Westworld to see the Puddle of
Mud concert at Westworld at 9 PM.
Here are the details for the Cyclerides.com Westgate Bike Night presented by The Law Tigers:
Where: Westgate City Center, Loop 101
and Glendale Ave. SE Corner. Next to Jobing.com Arena.
When: Thursday nights beginning March
29th – June 28th
