View Full Version : Have you visited a site sponsor???
One of the great things about Riding Arizona is the support our site sponsors provide, which enables us to keep the site alive and running. With that said, we need your help. If you have purchased anything from any of our site sponsors we need you to let us know here.
If you purchase a bike, a quad, a RV, accessories, services, windshields, anything, be sure to let the vendor know you are a Riding Arizona member and be sure to help us document their advertising is working by posting here. This will help us keep our advertisers around and the site alive.
So we have a little catching up to do! If you have purchased anything from our current or past sponsors over the last year, post up. We NEED to know this information. Greg and I will be digging into the RA coffers to find some give-aways and will randomly select some winners.
Remember, post up here EVERYTIME you purchase anything from our site sponsors. Give us the details of from whom and what you purchased. Thank you for your time and patronage.

Hi Group,
We purchased a 2005 Honda CRF50F from Canyon Honda - well Santan Clause did - for our 7 year old. Riding AZ is where we were introduced to Canyon Honda and Rob Doherty - President. We hooked up with Rob about one year ago and persuaded him to try AMSOIL on the shelf in the Canyon Honda parts dept. Since then Canyon Honda has grown to our largest Retailer of AMSOIL products.
When we wanted to buy a new dirtbike for our son for Christmas, it only made sense to go through Rob and the guys at Canyon Honda. Obviously, we were aquainted to Rob through our business association, however, I am very glad we did meet and that we purchased the bike through Canyon Honda. Not only did we get the best price available, but were treated extremely well by Rob, Marvin, Shaun and the rest of the crew at Canyon Honda. I have no doubt anyone that goes to Canyon Honda will receive the same type of treatment.
Prior to us making our purchase, I referred another friend to Canyon Honda who was looking for a street bike. He did purchase the bike and had the same experience that we did. We would have no problem referring anyone to Canyon Honda to buy a motorcycle, ATV,etc.
Thanks again Canyon Honda Team!
The week before Christmas I went to Canyon Honda to purchase 2 dirt bikes for my daughter and my self (CRF50F and a XR650R). I talked to quite a few dealers but most of them wanted to charge an arm and a leg. They were more interested in making a huge profit, rather than making a fair deal for both sides. At C.H. they gave me an o.t.d price about 4 months prior to my purchase. 4 months later the price was still the same.
Josh and the rest of the C.H. crew were fantastic. It truly was a pleasure to do business with them. I will definitely be referring them to others interested in making similar purchases

Hi all! Just bought a 2005 Arctic Cat from AJS in Phoenix - located on the Northeast corner of Cave Creek Rd. and Bell... I'm not sure if they are a sponsor, however, Jim and his group at AJS are a tremendously run small operation. The first thing Jim told me to do - even when I was just "looking" at quads - was to check out the Riding Arizona website and join! He is a huge advocate of ridingarizona.com and I appreciate that! I'm happy to be a new member and look forward to seein ya' all out on the trails. ~ArcticDog

Welcome aboard ArticDog! I can only add on to the praise at AJS. My son crashed his AC pretty hard last month (nothing that a high limit visa couldn't handle). The Service Mgr, Nick is knowledgable and cares about what he does. From my house, it's about a 40 mile drive, but well worth it for the peace of mind.

I recently made a purchase from MonkeyButt Parts through their website. I mentioned that I was an RA member in the comments block and sure enough...no shipping was charged. Extremely fast delivery of the parts also. I would definitely purchase from them again.

Arziona Jet Ski (Ultimate Power Sports) will be on as sponsor soon. We are working with them to develop their artwork and then they will be up and running. They are indeed a great shop and dealership.

Today is my son's birthday, so for a special surprise Dad took him to buy all new riding clothes!
Thanks to the folks at Motorcycle Accessory Shop for helping a (clueless about his son's size) Dad find gear that fits. New Answer pants and jersey, and No Fear gloves. Now he's looking good!

Went to Prowler Motorsports Saturday Feb 5th before Close, bought a throttle extender for my son's quad. The woman that worked there was AWESOME, had one GUY that worked there, kinda negative, probably needed a BEER!!! It is a beautiful shop, and I am going back to buy some goggles!! We signed up for our new quad that we will be winning later this month!!! The best part about Prowler so far, is they are in my backyard!!! I am dedicated to another mechanic right now!!

I have purchased goods and services from numerous advertisers on the site including Canyon Honda, Monkeybutt, the dealer out in Surprise, Riding Arizona itself, and others. Whenever I purchase anything related from a non-advertiser I always try to convince them to advertise on RA by contacting Shannon. I plan on using Richard's for future work also. This is a great site and I support it personally and with a banner ad. Tom
Thank you all for posting! Your support of our Site Sponsors allows us to keep the site alive and running. We sincerely appreciate you spending your hard earned dollars in the RA network of businesses. Keep letting us know when you visit a Sponsor! We need to know.

I have used Richard's ATV, Monkeybutt, AJS (good to see them onboard soon) for parts and service. It'll be a cold day in "U know where" before I go to any "metro" shop for anything...
I've used several RA sponsors the last couple of years.
New Toyhauler from Orangewood RV
My new favorite Arctic Cat place...Prowler
For misc. items I have used Richard's, Kenz and Motorcycle Accessory Shop.
went to S.A.S.S. again this weekend for a couple helmets, goggles, gloves and pants. :D i think i'm set now. i don't remember the guy's name that helped out (connor, conrad? i know it started with a C) nice guy.

Congrats! I think you will be happy:D
I just picked up a 90 from them this morning:D
Richards ATV in Chandler, Motor Cycle Accessories Shop, Kenz & I dont think Screwie Louies is a sponser but them too. I'm an equal oppertunity spender.
I too used a sponsor from this site.
Not only am I new to this site, but also new to this area.
Special thanks to Cory, Sealy, Mike, and Jacob at Desert Toyz in Peoria Arizona getting my "toy" up to par for the desert!
Great people, great service, and to top it off... They support this site![^]
Trying to get My boss at the cattle farm to use Diamond Auto Glass. I have had them replace the wind shield in my 2001 Chevy truck and my 2005 Trail blazer. I hated that they were damaged and glad I got a discount. I will always recomend them. I give them 11 stars out of ten.

Today I had my ReCall tie-rod's replaced at Canyon Honda and A quick
LOF Nothing But the Best :D
On the way home I stopped at Desert Toyz Cory was GREAT He's Going to Fabricate A Custom Gaurd for the Rubi [^]
Just had my wife's SP400 repaired by Dennis at Richards ATV in Glendale......he was great and will be doing all of my Polaris work (that I can't do) from now on:D
They're not on the list of sponsors, but the Motocomm banner is always around.
Great product and excellent service. I recently had an issue with the PTT button. Got a new (newer model) PTT for no charge.
Motocomm is also the company that donated the two full two-way sets for last year's T-Week (won by azotto & nomnot). They have several new products coming in the Spring of 2006.
Just had my quad tuned by Dennis at Richard's about 3 weeks ago. He told me to install my pipe and intake and he would jet it for me.
He did, did it quick while I waited, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. :D
Canyon Honda....
Today, I had to exchange a pair of boots that I received for my birthday (THANK YOU, CASS!!!). Luke was a great help since I didn't know what I was looking for.
I am stylin' now.[^]
Shannon, I left some business cards with Aaron in the front office.

I had my rear shock reworked at palo verde suspension. John really knows what he is doing with shocks. My raptor was the first one he had done, back in '01. He got it right the first time, new spring, valving, and bumpstop. I have been back a few times to have it freshened up. Always top notch.
Banshee, and raptor rear shocks are not disposable. John can make them as good or better than the aftermarket ones.

My nephew just purchased a brand new 2005 Husqvarna TE510 from Prowler Motorsports. He said the people there were awesome and treated him really well. He also said they let him ride anything he was interested in.
Finally, because the "guy" was going to California to pick up some newer models, my nephew got the Husky for "cost". I don't yet know the OOD price, especially since he's having a desert tank, LED taillight, and the dual headlight setup installed. But I believe he said the sticker on the bike was >$7000 ($7300?), and the bike w/o upgrades was $5900.
Bottom line: my nephew is a happy customer, and in the final analysis, isn't that what is important when buying a new bike or quad? As a small business owner himself, establishing a rapport and relationship with salespeople is important to him.
All the best. :D :D :D :D :D

I just want to say that Canyon Honda rocks. Shawn over there in Sales is top notch. I have not been able to find lower OTD prices anywhere locally. Last December I purchased an 05 Honda CRF80 and a 06 CRF50 and have been more than satisfied with the transaction. I am in the market again for a bike maybe a quad and you can bet I will shop around but so far I can not find anyone who can beat Canyon Honda.[8D]
I went to Richards to buy a gas tank.Presented the coupon for the discount and he did not know what I was talking about.Bought the tank but will not go back.

Tried Canyon Honda for service on the 300ex and 400ex and also wanted to buy a new 300ex from them. Their service was horrible - I did not get a discount. They did however give me a $100 gift certificate because the idiots "accidentally" stood the 400ex up over night so couldn't start it when I went to pick it up. How do you accidentally stand up a 400lb quad? They took about 1/2hr to clean everything out of it (yes,the gas was on). They were $100.00 higher OTD on the 300ex than Coyote and told me if $100.00 was that important to me I should just drive to Buckeye and get the quad there. I won't be going back to them even though they are only a few miles from home. I bought the 300ex from Coyote before I had picked up the other quads from Canyon since it took them a week longer to service them than they had originally thought. Coyote was fantastic to deal with.:)

A friend called Fischer Specialty for insurance on a Tomcar. Very helpful, but unfortunately could not insure it.
