[TimmyB]

I'll be operating out of the Nogales Border Patrol station , not Customs.

I don't go through customs, I go through the BP checkpoints, but way west of that.

[TimmyB]

I've experienced those BP check points also, when I drove to San Diego. Talk about middle of nowhere and the dead of night!

How often are you in AZ, Chris?

Funny I was just in Tucson a couple weeks ago and had some extra time planned, I was hoping to rent a dualsport or something... then my flights got fucked up and I ended up with no "me time"...

[CEO]

It varies but on average ~1week/month

If you're gonna be in nogalas then chuckwalla might not be too far. I hear thats a really nice track.
I don't think anyone runs m/c trackdays at PIR. I like firebird. There are 3 tracks there and are pretty technical. Firebird main boasts a 1/2 straight. For fun twisty roads you have to head north 89A (wickenburg, yarnell, Prescott, sedona, Jerome flagstaff) or if you're down for a real trip head to the eastern border and hit 91(?) It goes over the world largest copper mine and turns into 100 miles of the most intense, twisty, desolate, demanding, mountain bliss you've ever dreamed of let alone ridden. (get gas first ). I rode it N to S. Went through globe up into snowflake and pinetop I think.
I worked for aztrackday and they usually run at firebird. I don't know anything about chuckwalla.

[TimmyB]

thanks for the input!

I have a couple of friends in AZ and most of them own dual sport or sport touring type bikes. Unfortunately its hot as balls most of the time, but the night riding is great from what I hear.

just be careful, lots of wildlife will cross roads there day and night... i've had a lot of close calls in rentals (coyotes, wild horses, big snakes, others) , bikes could end badly
