We rode to South Mountain here in the Valley to hold our Blessing surrounded by beautiful nature, then rode over to Gallagher’s Sports Grill for lunch where they took great care of our group....Thank you very much!!! We truly were blessed as the rain held off for the day and we were able to enjoy our afternoon 💙

Fantastic celebration lunch put on by our friends at AZBarbeque Catering - celebrating 18 years in business and 4 years at this location.... actually,
They celebrate and We benefit!!!
Great food, weather, people AND Free lunch!!! 🙏😎💙
The food's really good but the owners and staff are 💯

Just wanted to take a moment and thank Dan Walls, our International Chaplain, for doing such a great job with the annual Bike Blessing stickers.
I think they're a great idea and I appreciate all the work you do getting these out each year! 🙏💙
And...they arrived just in time for our chapter Bike Blessing this weekend here in the Valley of the Sun 🌞

Quick little coffee ride and breakfast over at Kneader's Bakery and Cafe. Quick visit, some coffee and a nice little ride in the beautiful weather we're having here in the Valley... gotta get it in while we can 🌞😎

We've been having a good turn out for our chapter meetings and rides so far this year, and we are growing in numbers.... Yesterday's meeting was a good one with a nice lunch afterward. Might be the awesome weather we've been experiencing, but, Let's keep this momentum going for the chapter 💙👍😎

Greetings Brothers & Sisters - This month's Safety Article tells us and our passengers everything we always wanted to know about riding two-up. Enjoy

The Ultimate Guide to Riding Two-Up - webBikeWorld Perhaps the greatest compliment a rider can receive is that of a passenger wanting to ride with you. This guide will walk you through all the tips you need to ride two up.

A few of us joined Black Mountain Motorcycle Club for their poker run this Saturday. It was a great day... beautiful weather, a nice ride, and met some really nice people. Thanks for welcoming us into your group!!

A good friend of one of our chapter members is selling a couple motorcycles. Included with the purchase:
Both bikes, 2 lifts, and miscellaneous parts...
He is a retired Army warrant officer and for several years owned & operated a Harley repair shop in Serria Vista, AZ.
Both bikes are in impeccable condition. He says he's just too old to ride anymore and asked if I knew anyone who would be interested in buying them. Of course, my first thought was of my BK brothers & sisters. He is asking $15,000 for the whole lot and may have some specialty tools that are negotiable.
Bikes are 1980 FLH and 1995 Softail w/shovel engine. Perfect for someone who wants classic, yet dependable rides.

If interested or just have questions call: Dan Spellman (915) 497-2031, lives in Casa Grande, AZ.

Thank you Bev Fuller for representing us and giving our annual donation to C.O.P.S. AZ during the 20TH Annual Fallen Officers Memorial 5K! Thanks also to this organization for the work you do! A great organization and I'm proud that our chapter is part of it! 🙏💙

Beautiful day for a chapter lunch ride over to Scottsdale for some NY style pizza. Of course, since we were over that way.....I had to stop into Andreoli Italian Grocer for a proper espresso and sfogliatella
Really nice day and glad to see so many members come out. That's what it's all about! 🍕☕️👍💙🙌🙏

Update on the '88 Blue Knight Special Harley Davidson - Fully registered and insured - and now that I got new shoes for the Ol'Boy, I took my first good ride... and got my first full tank of gas. I even got an official C.O.P.S. AZ license plate honoring fallen officers.
After today's ride, the bike has 1,528 miles on it!!
Ran beautifully (thanks to my buddy Hollywood) & looks pretty clean even though I haven't done a full detail yet..proud to have it in my garage for sure! 💙🙏

Had a Blue Knight from PA visiting the Valley and he reached out about meeting. I said "absolutely" that's what the Blue Knights do!!
Well, tried to do something nice by meeting up, and then he winds up helping ME out today!
Love the Brotherhood of our club!!
And God bless you Mark Malizzi 🙏💙
Thanks to Teresa and our past international president, Guy O'Connor for joining & welcoming another knight!

Just a little 180 mile lunch ride in AZ winter weather.
From the Phoenix Valley out past Maricopa to the Dwarf Car Museum, and then over to lunch at the Raceway Grill. Took the long way home to Gila Bend, and then made our way back home to the Valley.

Another meeting day in the books for our Phoenix Blue Knight Chapter. Started at Bass Pro Shop for the meeting & coffee, and then over to the Cabin for lunch.
We are definitely taking advantage of our winter weather while we can in the Valley of the 🔥 - 😎💙

Another fantastic weekend for our Southwest Winter Gathering - and our second year in Lake Havasu, AZ. Just a nice relaxing weekend with Blue Knight Family.
Friday we went through Wickenburg, Salome, Hope, Parker and into Havasu to meet up with the Blue Knights. Saturday we had lunch at Topock 66 and went into Oatman. Then back to Havasu for dinner at the Sotos....which was fantastic!!! Thank you for opening your home to us all. Of course, some great visiting, hospitality and friendship each night at the hotel. Motorcycles, friendship, and fun is what it's all about! Hope you all made it back safe and see you at the next event! 😎💙🙏👍

Got a little upgrade to my motorcycle today, and I was happy to see some of my chapter members come out and join me for a cup of coffee and a few donuts. 🙏

Great chapter meeting, good turnout, nice lunch, and not a bad winter day here in the Valley of the Sun 🌞
We've gained 2 new members and had 1 new transfer - Everyone seems ready to go for 2024!! Let's Go! 💙
