GARY McDOWELL: MAY 2013 TEAM Arizona RiderCoach of the Month!
Last Updated: April 1st, 2024
Have you ever wandered into something thinking that a few extra bucks would help but then find out the richness of the experience and enjoyment of the “work” far surpasses any economic gain?
If so, you’ll have something in common with Gary McDowell. Since 2007, Gary’s been putting feet to the pavement for TEAM Arizona to aid students with achieving their dream of becoming motorcyclists. The journey has been fruitful and educational for Gary. As he puts it, “The greatest challenge was learning patience. I had to remind myself that learning to ride a motorcycle correctly is hard.”
Since 1966 when a friend let him charge down the roadway on a Yamaha 125, Gary’s been connected to the world of motorcycling. His favorite motorcycles include the Honda CB750 and 1966 Triumph 650 Bonneville. Today, you’ll find him on a 2002 Honda Goldwing.
- His favorite ride is up Route 77 to Show Low.
- Born in Baltimore, Maryland.
- If he could pass one bit of information along to new riders: Look Where You Want To Go
Please, take time to wish Gary well-deserved CONGRATULATIONS! We here at TEAM Arizona are proud to have him as part of the family!
