Thoughts on The "Parts Motorcycle Ride" from a Sandie point of view
Before we get into the cool stuff, humor here, they had 6 to 700 riders. It came off pretty uneventfully which under the circumstances was outstanding. Now for the why’s and where fore’s There are two kinds of heat in this world. One is the sort that reminds a fellow it's summertime. The other convinces him the Almighty has parked the sun about three feet over his helmet just to see what happens. This ride belonged to the second variety. I became reasonably certain my boots w

140 at 110
Saturday, June 13 1915 was the day Okaloosa County was founded by taking parts of Santa Rosa and Walton county. So we spent our whole 140 today in Okaloosa county. Some truths may have missed the mark in the telling of this tale: At dawn or there about 5 Sandies left GTD to ride to a breakfast. Why would you leave a place like GTD to go somewhere for breakfast ? It’s a Sandie thing you see. Why did Sir Edmund Hillary climb Mount Everest ? cause it was there. So why do Sand

These are some thoughts from our New Orleans Adventure; We take journeys some are life changing or you almost get arrested three times before lunch. This was one of those.
While in Mobile that Sunday, had lunch at Morrison’s Café, yes that Morrison’s. The last one left, talk about your step back in time. Took me all the way back to being a kid and going to Pensacola to Morrison’s. It took me back to a time when the top of fine dining was a square piece of cherry jello. Sundays always included Ambrosia or shrimp in aspic, those were fine china dining. . We caught the Amtrak Mardi Gras Special from Mobile AL to New Orleans Traveling by tr

How Many U-turns does it take to make a Sandie Adventure
It was my great fortune to witness a gathering of the Sandies on this fine day, and I will say at the outset that seeing Tony Garcia among us again lent a certain dignity to the proceedings—though it never last long, the dignity. It was as always great to see Ace out. There exists in this world a question of some philosophical weight: how many licks it takes to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop or how many U-turns makes a Sandie Adventure. Learned men have debated it for gen

DITTO !
I use the word DITTO because my description from last week pretty well sums it up. The weather outstanding, the countryside simply beautiful. Every pecan tree ( us pronunciation) was in full swing growing new leaves then that leads to the famous pecan ( Georgia pronunciation). Seven Sandies did 187miles of lovely spring roads. They only got better when the Prince of Trails ( Tim W ) took over the route back. We had a very nice couple join us Brigit and Randy Lovell ,

HEY KID
The title will unravel itself in the telling of this tale. It may be that I am in danger of repeating myself, though I hold that a good story deserves as many tellings as it can stand without collapsing. And this one, I am pleased to report, is built sturdy. It was a day so fine for riding that a man might suspect the weather had been arranged in advance for our particular benefit. The sky was of such a blue persuasion that any respectable diamond would decline comparison out
