What we’re about
This is a place for motorcycle riders of all skills to gather and share rides and our lives. No rules (well, not a lot of them), just a place to meet some new riders and make new friends. If you see a ride you like, show up. You don't have to be a member to ride with us, but once you ride you soon will be. This group is open to everyone, we all tossed our leg over the seat one day not really knowing how to do this, so we have rides that span the range from simple breakfast runs to all day and overnight excursions.
We sometimes have very large rides because of the number of members. We don't limit the number of riders on a ride -- we have been doing this longer than most groups and know how to create events that everyone can attend. We don't force people to ride in separate groups, but they are welcome to if they want to. And if you are nervous, talk to one of the organizers and I'm sure they can find ways to help you feel at ease. Whether you are in a group of 10 or 100, all a rider needs to pay attention to are the few bikes in front and behind them. That's really not that hard, you probably already do it!
We also don't have any restrictions on how often you have to ride. Whether you ride once a year or once a month, we just want to help you get out and ride. We won't judge you if you have more to do in life than ride. And if there isn't any ride you like, ask for one!
Curious?? Look at our photos (https://www.meetup.com/PhxMRG/photos) and calendar (https://www.meetup.com/PhxMRG/calendar). Our group is like a family and proudly shares with everyone.

2023 List of Children
It’s that time of year again for the return of the Mayer Toy Ride!
In years past, this ride has drawn upwards of 120 participants. Bikers love to ride and are amongst the most generous group of people in the world. With that said, last year was very lackluster. We are hoping that this year as a group we can make this event memorable for everyone involved, especially for the ones that need it the most, the kids. Let's remember the good times, celebrate the ones who came before us, and cherish the ones with us. We can all use some holiday cheer, and nothing makes the holidays better than sharing some cheer with those in need. Let's brighten the holiday for the kids of Mayer Elementary again.
A big thanks goes to Mike (Ding Ding), for working hard to get everything organized with the school.
Meetup will happen at the Roadrunner Restaurant in New River as in years past (47801 N Black Canyon Hwy, New River, AZ 85087). They open for breakfast at 7:00 per their web site. We need to be KSU at TBD. If you plan on eating or simply want to get there early to chat, show up early and be ready to ride at TBD. That will give us time to get into the gym at the school and setup.
Child selection list (COMING SOON)
Route: Very straight forward. We will leave the Roadrunner, head up the 17 to the 69. Before the main portion of town, we will turn left onto Main St. We will go up the hill slightly to regroup there. Then we will head straight down Main St. to the school.
We will pull into the BACK of the school for parking.
Request: If anyone is willing to drive up the day before to haul presents, please either send me a direct message or leave a message in the comments with your number or email. Depending upon the size and quantity of presents, it may be difficult to fit everything on our bikes. It helps immensely when there are volunteers to drive up the afternoon prior or the day of with presents. Juan G. – Thanks again for hauling my presents last year.
Riding styles and order - We ride in staggered formation, not side by side. Trikes and other 3 wheelers will ride behind the 2 wheelers. Cages in the back.
