I will be moving to the Phoenix area the first week of April. Do any members have advice on a good Guzzi dealer out there?

The Guzzi dealer in Tucson (Renaissance Motorcycles) is also a very good dealer. I hope to make Prescott this year - finally - if I resolve that last two issues with FrankenSport.

I vote for Renaissance M/C here in Tucson. The owner is Steve Spreter and he's been in business 25 years. It's a low-volume shop, not many 'discounts' on new bikes, but I trust him and his mechanic Don.

 

Here's the link (the site isn't updated very often).

BTW, You'll be arriving about one and a half months before Hell starts. Here in Tucson, starting in June, we can see 100+ temps every day for several weeks, but in Phoenix, it's even hotter.

 

One consolation - it isn't Yuma!

Thanks to all of you for the information. I don't know if I'll have time to attend a rally as I'll need to find a house and make sure of employment. As for the weather, I'll just have to adapt and do as best I can. Chicago weather isn't exactly wonderful...temperature changes of thirty degrees in short time periods are not uncommon. About the only thing that can be said about the weather here is that if you don't like it, wait a few hours and it will change. I am having my bikes shipped to Cycle Moto in Mesa as it is close to where I will be staying temporarily. It would be nice to meet up with you all when I get settled in somewhere.

You'll be fine Mik. It's a dry heat

Thanks for the encouraging words, TX Now if I can get out of here with my scalp intact after the lawyers get through with me, I know I'll be fine.

I was actually thinking about moving out there also in another year after the little one turns 18. Just remember an oven on 400F is also a dry heat. I was out there in January and a cabbie told me the summers had been mild lately not that many days over 120f Chicago weather does seem to suck though. Too hot and humid in the summer and too cold and wet in the winter and those are the only two seasons.
