Next month I'll be aboard MCAS Yuma for about 4 weeks and am trying to find somewhere to rent a motorcycle that's close to Yuma.  Interweb searching shows the closest place is in Scottsdale or Phoenix.  Not an option as we are flying out there on a military aircraft and I'll be carless and bikeless.  

Anyone know of any place in the greater Yuma area that rents?

Thanks for any help  Bigok

Yuma - was there in 1980's.  There should be a year round demand for that, but
didn't have good impression of Yuma, or its businesses, back in those old times.

Timing is kinda short, but I'd call up a M/C dealer or independent M/C shop (more likely)
and explain your interest / likely market and see if they wouldn't set up a M/C rental operation w/ you as the first customer.
Worth an hour's effort, imo.  Luck.

I've worked there for weeks at a time out at the Proving Grounds but stayed in town all the time.  I recall seeing at least one dealership there (I think) but never anyplace to rent a bike.  That place is so freakin hot that you'll see very few riders out.  Maybe once it cools off some you'll see more.  My work was generally during the hotter months which I think is 10 months of the year.

Yuma, jay-zeus, you have my condolences.  I grew up in Phoenix and we used to joke about how hot Yuma was.   Lol
