I live in north Scottsdale for 7 years and love every minute. Just bought a 2012 1400 rocket ship.
Went to school at University of Arizona a long, long time ago. Have a good buddy in Gilbert with a 1970 Vega dragster that he races at http://www.racewildhorse.net as well as in Tucson. Get down there once in awhile to watch him race. Will probably be riding in AZ this summer. I have a place not too far from the border in NM in the Zuni mountains.
