Visit to Prescott, AZ today...
« on: October 06, 2021, 06:31:22 PM »
To Powersports Outlet...Arizona's northern most official Moto Guzzi dealer.

Our friend Jim Knaupp says business is good and they have been in their new building now over 2.5 years!  (Time flies!)  Some cool bikes on the floor, both new and consignment.  All the V85 TT's have been sold.  I believe he had 3 on my last visit there.

The other photos are from the legendary and historic Palace Bar on Whiskey Row.  Always fun to visit that town. :thumb: :boozing:

Their old location was interesting, to say the least. I haven't been to the "new" one yet, but it looks to be quite an improvement! :thumb:

Those guys took good care of me when I was in the area.  Had some maintenance done on the Norge.

Hmm.  Anyone know the guy who runs the place?  I wonder what his bottom line is.  Daytonas on eBay in the last year or so haven’t hit $10k.

Have some extended family in Prescott but never been there. How is the riding ? I've ridden around Sedona, Flagstaff and the GC, is it similar? Might become a retirement destination...

Yes, it's similar. :bike-037: If you do visit/move there, don't pronounce it PRESS-scott. The correct pronunciation is more akin to PRESS-kit. :wink:

The riding / roads around Prescott / Jerome / Cottonwood / Clarkdale / Sedona are excellent...except on the weekends, (because of the tourists) :thumb: :bow: :cool: :boozing:
