On February 23rd of 2008 a dear friend of ours, Julio, was lost to a fatal motorcycle crash.

We are putting together a Memorial Ride on the Saturday before the 1 year anniversary of that tragic day. I am not soliciting any money from anyone as we are not trying to raise money. Julio loved to hang out and he also loved to ride and he loved to both with lots of people. Most every ride we ever went on, a new person was invited and Julio always treated them with respect and integrity. The intent of this ride is to get as many friends and strangers to go out for a ride together and then come back to hang out together. We will be starting in Chandler AZ in the early morning of the 21st of February. Then we will be making a stop at the scene of the accident. From there we will be heading up to the Roosevelt Dam. After the dam we will head back to Chandler to hang out at Churchill's Pub & Grill. Since the pub was Julio's favorite watering hole, it only makes sense that we hang out there after the ride.

Whether you ride a sport bike or a cruiser, I invite anyone who is interested in making new friends to come ride and hang out with a great bunch of people.
