As Tempe motorcycle accident attorneys, we like to give motorists a heads-up about upcoming motorcycle events so they know to be on the lookout and drive safely. However, we also hope people are always on the lookout for motorcyclists and drive safely whenever they are on the roadways. As part of the Inaugural Cupid Ride and Exhibition, there will be a motorcycle ride on February 19 starting at 9:00 a.m. with registration. The event will begin at Chuck Franklin Law, 1920 E. University in Tempe. Motorcyclists will take to the road at 10:00 a.m. The ride costs $25 per rider or $35 for a rider and passenger. There will also be food, music, and prizes.
Motorcyclists will travel through Apache Junction and end in Mesa with a bike show, where cash and prizes will be awarded. For more information, you can call (480) 717-0626 or visit www.twogalsevents.com. We urge all drivers to watch out for motorcyclists by staying aware, checking rear-view and side-view mirrors, and checking blind spots a couple of times before making lane changes or any maneuvers that might catch a motorcyclist off guard, and always obeying all traffic laws.
