Ratz infest, The Knotty Pine Cafe! Payson, AZ.


View from the Dudley Cam!




Dennis decides, "Lets move over there"!














Everyone moving to another part of the place as Dennis requested!






Willie found a book that made him feel better about his stripped shift lever! He now knows it could of been much worse. He could have got his feathers stuck in his zipper?!....LOL







Cocoa and Stan the Man!








Corey giving Dudley "The Stink Eye"!

Ratz ride to Strawberry, I mean Payson! Willies Shift Lever on his Stripper Bike? Well, it Stripped!

Checkout the back of Willie Ratz bags! This is how the Stripper Bike got it's name!


Supervizors!


The Don Rat, wrenching on the Stripper Bike!








It's a good thing Willie is not a Plumber! LOL

The Road Ratz meet at the Human Been coffee shop in Mesa AZ every Sunday(check our calendar for rides and departure times)!







Ratz ride to Carefree Station

Call the Health Inspector! This place is full of Ratz!



Pinky gave Pack the winning ticket! Not really, it is a ticket for the Renaissance Festival in Gold Canyon AZ. This is the only place where Pack Rat can go and call a girl "Winch" and not get slapped for it! I think he goes because all the ladiez refer to him as "Ma Lord"?

Ratz Riding for John Sliney


All the Ratz, the Ratz Friends and EV HOG Chapter folks that came out to support this cause for our pal John. Thank you to CHD for organizing this and making it all about John Sliney.




Welcome to the newest member of the "Road Ratz". Everyone say hello to "Dingbat Rat". Welcome to the fold, and we look forward to many thousands of miles riding with you along.








Rest stop along the way to Florence. It was truly a great day for a ride.
















Three staunch looking bikers mulling about pondering the scenery, the companionship, and well, just breathing in the moment. A perfect day, a perfect ride, and the most wonderful cause. See, bikers do have a "softer side" to them.












Rocker Rat and others lingering about and, well what could Rocker be telling the other fella's? Just chewin' the fat, talking about the ride, and how much we love doing all this for our pal John most likely.












Caught in the act of shopping? Or just
surprised at being caught on camera? One never knows what is going on in the mind of Ratz. Might be a cool chick behind the camera. Oh, wait...there was! Cocoa Rat!








Ratz having fun after a hard days "ride". Seems Willie Rat had not yet had enough riding. It's a shame he does not know that this horse will not go anywhere.

Ratz, on the road and coming to a town near you!






















Ratz ride with Sarah Part 2! So many great photos!

The Birkett family are longtime friends of mine and they are like family to me! I just want to thank all of you that came on todays ride and made it so much fun for everyone! Shout out to the ladiez! I think we had more girlz on this ride than ever before? It must be Dudleys new aftershave lotion? Later dudes!












































Sarahs Ride! The Ratz hangin' with The Birketts


What a huge turnout we had today! This is what bikers are all about! Friendship and family! I will be adding more photos from this ride under a different post later! Stay tuned dudes!


























What the?
















This ride was so much fun! We brought Sarah Birkett along for her first Ratz ride and she really enjoyed our rag-tag bunch! Her husband and friend of Rockers, Chris joined us for lunch with their two kiddos in Florence, AZ and the rest is history! (Last week we all forgot cameras and this week we had 6 cameras)? We hope you enjoy all of the photos!....

The Don leads us to Oro Valley, AZ.

This was a great ride and we had about 11 riders come along! Usually I would post a photo for everyone to see?.... Funny thing is, out of 11 riders, not one of us remembered our cameras today! Don't worry, we won't forget next week!
Ride and be safe!

Ratz and friends join forces with the East Valley HOG Chapter for Sliney

Note: The tallest Rat in the bunch in the back row with his sunglasses on! That's right folks it's Whale Rat! He is Soldier Ratz Dad and one of my favorite people I have met through motorcycling! Oh man, I can't pick just one? Actually all the people I have met through motorcycling are my favorites! Here are a bunch of great folks!.... Not sure what Bea is doing to Ricks shirt? Also not sure what Dudley is doing behind my back? I know he is up to something? Also thanks Dudley and Biggy for leading us to Tim's place. We only had to make one u-turn? LOL
The Donovan Bros. (No relation to Aero Rat who also sports the Donovan name) I Know, It's confusing, hangin out on the porch!.... Thanks Tim for opening your home!

Cocoa Rat, folding her chaps!...


Iron Rat showing off his new parts!...



All together, even with a rainy day ride everyone that showed raised a total of $1500.00 for John and his family needs! The word is, the funds will probably go to paying his bike off so as he comes out of this, he can worry about getting well, instead of his MC Payment! These are just a few photos from todays event for Johnny!

Ratz in Rye, Arizona


This was a great ride to do on Superbowl Sunday! We rode up into the mountains and were back home in time for the game! Note: Willie Rat showing some respect for the sign with the cowboy! LOL
