A long-time member of AAR, Larry Walker, passed away on October 11, 2023, after a long battle with strokes. He was 86 years old. Larry was not a founder of the Club however he was one of the early members of the organization. He loved to ride his quad. During his riding days he crossed the state riding. His favorite places to ride were in the Forest Lakes/Heber area where he would camp and ride. Those who knew him, will remember his great sense of humor. I personally will miss a dear friend, and great riding buddy. Rest in peace, my friend. Remembrance to: PatRead More →

I have included her information at the bottom of her note should you have questions for the City of Sedona. At this time Arizona State Parks and Trails will remain neutral on this ordinance. If you have questions or concerns, please let me know and I’ll be happy to assist you.  I have attached the DRAFT of an improper motor vehicle equipment ordinance for your review.  I would like to also extend an invitation to all of youRead More →

During our ride on Friday March 4th I was asked about the carrier I am using for my Baofeng Radio. I was able to look up the carrier incase others may be interested. The website is mckydex.com or just google Messenger Radio Carrier. It can be used to hook on a belt or as I did mount it directly to my machine. It seems that it will also work for other types of handheld radios. I have the radio with the extended life battery pack, thus the taller carrier. Description:  The Messenger Radio Carrier series contains all of the following features throughout the different modelsRead More →
