Route 66 Ministry Tour
We are extremely excited about 2026!
It is the sesquicentennial (250) anniversary of the United States, 120th anniversary of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, and the centennial celebration of Route 66, the mother road of modern road trips.
This year’s ASR Ministry Tour will uniquely coincide with National Rally in July-August beginning in Chicago, IL and onto Rolla, MO then westward to Los Angeles, CA.
If you are interested in joining us for all or even a portion of the Ministry Tour, please contact Jeff Keck: jeff.keck@azusastreetriders.com

Bind The Strong Man 2026
I want to thank everyone for a successful Bind the Strongman event this year. A special thanks to the following churches for hosting the event: First Pentecostal Church Dupo, IL, Lifesaver Church Lugoff, SC, New Life Tabernacle Price TX, Summit Church Toledo, OH, and our first International Location The Philippines. Without support for this event and all the planning and hard work of finding session speakers, singers, sound guys and food preparation we could not pull off a multi location event.
If you are interested in hosting an event next year, reach out to myself, or any of the board members and let us know of your interest.

Spring Checklist
HOW TO GET YOUR MOTORCYCLE READY FOR SPRING
If it’s been sitting for an extended period, then it’s crucial that you thoroughly inspect the bike in accordance with your owner’s manual requirements.
Even the most seasoned rider can use a basic motorcycle maintenance refresher. Here’s how to start maintaining your motorcycle when riding season approaches.
1. Make Sure You Are Legal And Road-Ready
Make sure your tags are up to date, and your motorcycle insurance is up to date. Get peace of mind that you are covered in case of an unplanned incident.
2. Check Your Service Manual
This is the single most vital kit you can keep around your garage. Refer to the manual to see what regular maintenance tips your bike needs and how often you should do it.
3. Visual Inspection Of Your Motorcycle
While this might sound basic, quickly inspect every part of the bike for signs of damage.
What’s out of place?
Are there any signs of excessive wear or visible damage where they shouldn’t be?
If you haven’t ridden through the winter, especially if you keep your bike outside, you should ensure that an animal hasn’t made your engine its home—mice and squirrels, in particular, love to move in and chew through wires.
A quick maintenance check can tell you a lot, especially if you know your motorcycle well.
4. Battery And Electrical Check
Batteries get drained in the cold, harsh winter weather. Nothing kills the mood faster on the first nice day than dead batteries.
Turn your key halfway to make sure that the headlights come on. If they don’t, it’s time to attempt a trickle charge with a battery tender and hope you don’t need a new motorcycle battery.
Does your brake light work?
How about the blinkers?
If the lights work, move on to the rest of your electrical system. Clean the spark plugs and battery terminals, check your fuses, and replace whatever needs to be replaced.
5. Check Your Fluid Levels
Fluids power your bike and ensure that you don’t destroy the engine in the process.
- Gas: Fill the gas tank with some fresh fuel and inspect the fuel lines and seals for cracks in the rubber.
- Fuel Tank: How’s the fuel tank—does it need a new fuel filter?
- Engine Oil: Check your oil level; it’s probably time for an oil change.
- Brake Fluid: Does your brake fluid need a closer look?
6. Lubrication
So many places on your bike can use a little love from a touch of grease.
Your brake lever, pegs, shifters, and other moving parts love to be lubricated.
If that’s in order, when was the last time you checked your clutch and throttle cables, or for that matter, your steering head bearings?
Take a little time for some motorcycle TLC.
7. Chains And Belts
Unless you are riding a 1942 Harley-Davidson® XA (the only shaft drive Harley-Davidson ever made), you need to inspect your drive system.
Chains and belts wear and need replacing over time. Ensure that a drive chain is cleaned and oiled and that the chain alignment is up to spec.
If you have a belt, ensure your drive belt tension matches the specifications outlined in your motorcycle owner’s manual and inspect the belt for cracks.
8. Tires And Brakes
Flat tires can quickly ruin an otherwise great day, but losing control on the road is a bit slower. This is why inspecting your bike where the rubber truly meets the road is crucial.
Ensure your tires are holding air at the proper tire pressure, and if not using paddock stands during winter storage, ensure your tires haven’t developed flat spots or cracks.
How worn are the tires?
Do they still have tire tread in spec with what the tire manufacturer recommends, or are you the owner of sad balding tires?
9: Brake Check
Confirm the brake cables operate properly.
Check the front and rear brake to ensure your brake pads are still doing their job and the brake lines are in perfect working order.
Brake pad wear that goes unnoticed can be dangerous!
10. Make Sure Everything’s Tight (But Not Too Tight)!
Critical fasteners should be checked at specific mileage intervals based on the recommended maintenance intervals in your owner’s manual. In addition, each fastener has a specific torque value defined in the Service Manual.
If bike maintenance is required and the proper manual or tools are unavailable, or if the service is outside your comfort level, it’s best to take your bike to a professional or dealer for servicing.
There’s nothing worse than having to drill out a bolt and go through the process of rethreading or sizing a piece because you overtightened or lost a part on the road.
11. Clean Up
Check your air filter and all the nooks and crannies to ensure you are cleaned up.
If there’s nothing else to be done, it’s time to give the bike a bath and a wax; that way, your pride, and joy is gleaming on day one.
12. Enjoy The Warm Weather On The Open Road
Take to the streets with joy; it’s riding season.
