Desert Downs BMX Track had an open house last week where the kids got to go and try out the tracks…read more There was also a race, so I sent the hubby and kiddos out while I caught up on chores around the house. They reported back that they had a blast and the kids got to learn how to ride standing on a bike. The community was welcoming and patient. The kids got to let loose and get dirty and run around the tracks. My son got a big scrape on his elbow but there was a first aid booth and they patched him right up. Definitely another hidden Northeast gem and another great activity for the kids including younger kids since they also have balance bikes.

Vado Speedway Park honestly took me by surprise! I've never really been into racing but my husband…read moreloves Nascar and drag races. Basically anything to do with cars. He mentioned previously going to races out near Fort Bliss where he's stationed but unfortunately they closed the track out there. He had been to Vado before and recommended us checking them out while I was in town. It's about a 45 minute drive from El Paso but it's definitely worth it! I had an absolute BLAST watching the races. I could tell that everyone there were enjoying themselves too. My husband and I enjoyed some drinks while we watched the race. We also shared their loaded fries from the snack stand which were delicious! Honestly the only downside is that they don't have races all year long because I'd definitely want to go to all of them! The season is coming to an end and I already can't wait when they start up again. Will definitely be coming back again and again.

Races run every 20 minutes or so, so you do not have to be there exactly at the first post time (you'll just miss the first race). The employees are quite friendly and very willing to explain how to place a bet. It's cash only but they have an ATM on site. I would've appreciated a map a little more to see where things are. They have several options for viewing the races! Inside is an auditorium-like setup with multiple races on TVs, facing the outside race track. You can also go watch the race from the finish line side outside. Lastly there are also personal tables/booths with small personal TVs that can be used. There are American food and drink options at the restaurant in the casino. No free drinks here, maybe in the casino area? I'm a little surprised since most other casinos I've been to have had free drinks while you're gambling. We stayed for a few races and made some small bets and had a great time. Would come back again.

On May 13, 2023 while riding from Las Vegas, Nevada to the State of Maryland I noticed that the…read morecruise control on my 2016 Yamaha Super Tenere ES stopped working. I called Viva Powersports and explained my issue to one of the Viva Powersports service representative's who said to bring my Tenere in for a look. Upon arriving at Viva Powersports I met with the service representative and service technician named Pete. Pete took the time to evaluate my Tenere and he was able to determine the potential issues causing the problem. With that information I will be able to make the repairs. I just want to say Thank You for your professional staff and their efforts towards customer service, when another motorcycle shop told me to make an appointment, even after I told them I was traveling to the east coast. So, Thank you Pete for taking the time to troubleshoot my cruise control issue. WF Grace

I bought a 2nd hand 2022 BMW R1250 RT that had it's PDI, assembly, 600 mile oil and final drive…read morebreak in service and 2 year 1400 mile service performed on in May of 2025, before the owner traded it in for a Honda Gold Wing in Phoenix area. All work on this bike had been performed by Viva Power Sports. Today, I went to have Clearwater Valkerie running lights professionally installed. Everything was wired in place and ready to finally be hooked up to the battery when it was discovered that the original battery was still there and working after 3.5 years, and that whoever installed the recharging pigtail with the SAE connector shoved the battery into its position backwards, pulling the hell out of the positive lead as well as not installing the positive connector jumper wired for jump starting correctly. This bent the eyelet connector at a severe angle, and when the battery was installed again correctly, the electrical eyelet that attaches the hot wire to the battery snapped off, the victim of intense metallic strain from flexing. Evidently, the only one who has every touched the battery installation was the incompetent idiot at Viva Power sports who removed the battery to install the SAE charging plug connector to the battery incorrectly. Completely incompetent, the folks that work on bikes there in El Paso at Viva Power sports. Can not even install a battery correctly without destroying the wiring loom. Full retards, do not buy anything or bring your bike here for service, gross incompetence. I'd vote ZERO starts if at all possible. No common sense and gross incompetence installing something so easily.

Today is the last day for $1 tacos at Adventure Zone…read more They're coming out with a new menu and these $1 tacos won't be available anymore, they announced, so I got in my fix today and had an impromptu lunch date and notary signing with a friend Jessica East.

Cruise down I-10W. Get off on Copia. Turn left and go under the bridge (on copia) (back under…read moreI-10). Turn left again immediately on Gateway East. In about 50yrds you'll see Moto El Paso on your right. Park. Go inside. Get your mind blown. Big a bike. Never regret it. I absolutely LOVE Moto El Paso. This store is the exclusive seller of all Piaggio group bikes in El Paso. Yes, that's right, Piaggio, as in Italian bikes. Yea, if the high pitched whiny 600cc (very fast) but very typical Japanese bikes are your thing, then this isn't your place. This store features some absolute MONSTERS! They carry cruisers, cafe racers, scooters, off-road quads and buggy's, and Super Sports bikes! Yea... SUPER bikes dude. Moto El Paso has a huge show room floor in which you'll find some amazing machines. They sell the iconic Royal Enfield, the historic and always popular Vespa brand scooters, Arctic Cat adventure machines, the stunningly beautiful Moto Guzzi cruisers and racers, the eye catching (and easily BEST looking stock exhaust design) MV Augusta superbikes, and of course, my personal favorite, the 54 World Title winning Aprilia brand. From adventure bikes to naked bikes, From the RSV4 RR/RF to the RSV4 Factory and the Tuono, THIS is where you will find your Aprilia. THIS is where I found MY Aprilia (1000cc , 201hp RSV4 RR). The facility is large, clean, and impressive. The ENTIRE staff is amazing. This isn't a "chain" or franchise type dealership. This is a specialty dealer that carries the Italian superbikes. The staff gives the impression of being less of a "dealership", and more like a family. Seriously, everyone there is so awesome and friendly. Very knowledgeable, not pushy, very accommodating. Tracy (the owner) is a GREAT dude! Mike (runs the parts area) is always there, always friendly and very helpful. The ladies that work there are just great, and I feel bad because I don't know any of their names, but they remember who I am every time I go in and always great me with a smile and ask how I'm doing. Even the mechanics there, same thing. They'll stop and chat you up. Shoot the BS with you. Talk about your bike, their bikes, whatever. Sometimes I go in there just to say hi! I feel very welcomed there. They have a service department and a clothing / gear / safety equipment area (where Mike works). When you want to order a part, OEM or after market, Mike will sit there and go online with you to vendors that are trusted and recommended and sit for hours (trust me I always take forever to decide) until you have the right part that you want and works with your bike. Since buying my BEAST, I've order / purchased (through Mike and Moto El Paso): *Competition Werkes GP exhaust *Fender Eliminator kit *CRG Shorty (black and red) brake lever and clutch lever *T-Rex Frame Sliders They have an awesome service crew too, and they have installed all my stuff for me once it comes in. Through another company (ZLT Graphics), I've ordered a CUSTOM decal kit that will make my bike all black/red/chrome and similar to a RF but also very unique. Because it's obviously important to place on super correctly, the guys at Moto El Paso are going to install the graphics kit as well (for a small fee of course. But the work is quality). Now don't get me wrong; I love and very much appreciate / respect the more typical Japanese brand sports bikes. There's NOT MUCH out there that I like the looks of better than a Suzuki GSX-R 750. That blue/white/green color scheme is fresh. And the Yamaha R1? The only bike that CAN be compared to my Aprilia in the Liter bike (super bike) category. Hell, I was alllllll set to buy a very pretty Honda CBR 600RR. But by a stroke of fate, that shop was closed on a Monday, and i was off, so I drove down to Moto El Paso. Tracy (whom I didn't know was the owner at the time) introduced himself and 24hrs later I owned a BRAND NEW Aprilia RSV4 RR for a deal that is so unbelievable, I'm not even gonna say it lol. While they don't have a huge selection of clothing, they definitely have everything you need. From them I've bought 2 pairs of Alpine Stars gloves (summer and winter), an amazing Alpine Stars riding jacket (Andes V2), and an Icon Alliance GT helmet. They also carry a ton of HJC helmets. Very fairly priced too. And if they don't have it, they'll order it for you. If you are ready to step UP in your bike game, Moto El Paso is a place you should consider. Just as Ferrari and Lamborghini are too cars, Aprilia and MV Augusta are to bikes. Go check it out. #beAracer
