Motorcycle Ride to Chandler AZ for Lunch.

[rebbetzin]

Sunday was a sort of cloudy day, cool and just perfect for a motorcycle ride. We went with a small group from the "Freewheelers."

I don't know how many of you have been to Arizona, but here in the desert, we have lots of sand and cactus! What is interesting is that on one side of the road, it looks dry and the vegetation is pretty sparce.
Like this.

But, when you look on the other side of the road, there for miles on end, are Alfalfa fields, as far as the eye can see.

Our Arizona desert does have a "forest" of sorts...

Here is an interesting photo of the motorcycles ahead of us on a curve.

At one of our stops for stretching our legs there was a fellow with his
dog friend that was able to ride on the motorcycle with him.

I thought she was pretty cute, here is close up of her.
He had a way of strapping her to the seat so she couldn't fall off.

We stopped for lunch at a restaurant that serves a combination of Mexican and Chinese food. The Emerald Chicken is my favorite.
Here is the group at lunch.

The traditional food fight, came early when Rich spilled his entire drink on the table just as he sat down!

We stopped for gas along the way, here is the bike all dressed up for a trip.

The bike has some really neat new mirrors, they have signal lights in them!

On the way home there was a very nice sunset.

So hope you enjoyed the photos of our latest ride.

Those are some really nice fotos, I like the pics of the wiener dog, it reminds me of my old wiener dog max. He used to ride with me all the time on atvs.

Having a wiener myself, I am smitten by doxies.

That wiener riding a Harley makes me smile.

Reminds of the time we went cross country on our motorcycle. We went from NJ to Cali. Arizona was definitely a different looking world. Beautiful country though.

What a fun day! Had a friend who had a dog seat for his little guy. They looked so cute riding together! Those scenes sure are different from the ones on the east coast. Just beautiful!

They basically have either beef, chicken, pork or seafood, and you pick the different types of sauces and types of rice you want to go with it.

There is a cuban rice, with black beans, refried beans, white rice, or fried rice.

Then the sauces range from a Teriyaki, to hot chili type.

The Emerald sauce was my favorite, it is green onions, ginger, salt and vegetable oil. I think just a bit of cilantro would make it really nice.

It is a fast food type of place.
