Ratz on the Rim? Ratz in the Lake? Ratz Grafitti?

Ratz grafitti? That's right! We left our mark in the Creekside inn at Christopher Creek!

We finally get Stanley to sport our patch proud like on a vest and what is the first thing he does in front of all the folks at the lake? He falls in? No really he fell in the lake! You can't just make this stuff up! LOL

Stanley and Pinky picking on Pack!

Rocker and Tat getting our mouths covered!

Hiker Ellen? Now it all makes sense!

That's right Ladiez and germs! We took a fantastic ride today up to Christopher Creek, Woods Canyon Lake and the Rim!

Stanley ending it all? Not really, but he had Pack all upset and afraid to look over the edge!lol

Rat's Invade TAG'S Again

Three Ratz, eager to get to the tucker bag. Come on Wrench Rat, we are hungry...can we please get on with it, that is what their faces were saying. It was passed on with good authority.
Seems that the Wrench Rat figures out how to lessen the fumes which were putting Rocker to sleep. So, we fixed two problems with this unscheduled stop...personal relief for some, and a cleaner air for some followers behind WR.


After the call to duty, oops I mean nature, we had to say goodbye to one of the pack. You missed the best part of the trip, or did you? I guess I missed the best part, as I am the only one not privvy to that "best" part. Oh, the things Dudley has to put up with. Rocker and Dingbat saying farewell to Wayne. But we pressed on to more of the adventure.

All the Ratz were happy musing over the wonderful and tasty surprises that our Ding Bat Bunny brought on behalf of the Easter Bunny. Easter Bunny did not want much to do with our crazy group, beside EB had way to many other "children" to deliver to. Notice, that Rocker did finally get his "Disney" surprise. Boy, was he happy. Forgot all about thongs for a brief moment. Very brief.....

Dudley proudly displaying his Easter gift, a genuine Mickey Mouse flying plane, complete with a launcher. Of course, there is attached a ducky full of good chocolate. Being the good little rat that Dudley is, he gave the duckie and chocolate to Pixie Rat. Easter should come more often.

Unbeknownst to the "Ratz", the Eazter Bunny had surprises for all of us. Here one of our newest Ratz, tentatively known as "Flat Top Rat", reveals that his childhood antics are still with him. He opened his Easter toy, and was happier than I've seen him in a while. Blow that balloon Flat Top, and away goes the speed racer. He even had the other customers retrieving his toy so he did not have to get up. Rocker is jealous...all he got were cookies......poor Rocker!

Ratz getting ready to depart after a meal fit for Ratz. The star attraction here is the '68 Electra Glide, lovingly nursed back to life by Wrench Rat! She's a beaut' for sure. But don't ride behind......you might get very light headed...

But alas, twas time to return to the forsaken land of reality. Heading home one and all.

The Ratz say goodbye for now, to one of our own!

It is with great sorrow, compasion and honor that the Ratz have lost a brother! We will carry on Craigs Legacy and always carry ourselves with much honor and respect as human beings, bikers, Patriot Guard Riders and most of all Road Ratz! There is no denying that this is a family unit and our bond will never be seperated or broken. A tribute to Craig Alan Creed: Our friend and brother. We will all miss you more than you could ever know!.... Please click the link below and witness the power of family!

Craig we bid you farewell for now and will catch up with you later! You will always be riding with us in spirit and in our hearts. We know you and Danny Bales are sharing some laughs and memories. Bless you both.

Pals,

The Road Ratz

Please join us in the celebration of Craig Creeds life! The photo above from 2 years ago of the Ratz in Tombstone. Craig pictured in his new black hat! This is the trip that he purchased the hat the PGR keeps talking about! On Friday morning April 10th we will host a friendship ride in Craig Creeds honor departing The Human Bean Coffee Shop located on the SW corner of Country Club and Main in Mesa AZ. at 9am. This is what he would want! We will ride as a group over to the funeral site. The PGR will lead us from there! Please fly your flags on your bike! We will ride with flashers and headlights on! If anyone needs a ride I am sure we can round up some empty passenger seats so anyone who wants to can ride in the procession! Let me know at makujambi@hotmail.com and I will try to pair you up with someone that has room on their bike!

So today, I asked everyone to just "act normal" as if we had no camera present! Then all hell broke loose?....

Biggy leads the Ratz to Prescott!

Believe it or not the wind was whipping through at about 30-40 mph. Still a great ride up through Wickenburg and over Yarnell Hill!

Getting ready for the pies!....

Quick Quiz: Is Mary, Napping, Preying, I mean Praying or Reading? Or just tired of our stupid jokes? LOL

Steve(Pieman) Cryer is amazed at the 1/2 a chicken that Willy is about to partake in the eating of!....

Just what we came for! Only, the worlds best chicken potpies! One of our favorite places, the Gurley Street Grill on Whiskey Row in Prescott, AZ!

St. Paddy's day with the Ratz at Fibber McGee's

We always promote safety and a designated driver for these events! Two wheels and Green beer do not mix! Only two legs and green beer! LOL For some reason that sounds really gross?... Maybe it should be Only Green legs and two beers? Enjoy the Pics.

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.
