This was so cool today, Sandies at the Convoy, News Picture. We be looking awesome

10 Sandies almost repeated last week’s trip. But not quite, went across the street to Scenic 98 Diner . After the Business Meeting it was a beautiful day for lunch and a ride. We actually rode more miles then last week, eh it’s a Sandie thing 145 miles  was the final mileage. Sandy S  was a bit more civilized this ride but not by much.    Bobby was at Bobby’s  best he kept us laughing with help from Tommy N . Mark  was like me just laughing so hard almost blew coffee out my

Since a Sandie New Year’s Celebration extends across two days it’s not for the faint of heart. Well actually it’s a pretty easy gig just don’t get to sleep, well not much. We begin with a Sandie exclusive, Ride into the New Year. As far as anyone, including the AMA,knows we are the only Riding Club in the USA that does this. We meet at the Shalimar Waffle House and leave about 11:40 pm to catch the New Year on our Rides. While at the Waffle House we have breakfast nothing gua

It was a foggy morning, as I was riding up to GTD I expected maybe a couple of Sandies. To my surprise, a couple of Rides were already there. JoeJoe I expected, was real surprised to see Sandy S  and Mark S .  Then up came Joe  and Melanie W not a bad group, looking up for sure. We actually had 9 Sandies , will explain about the other Sandie. We did 145 miles  mostly in perfect Riding weather . Sunny,   pleasant temperatures, dry, just a perfect riding day.   But the start

Sunday is a great time to enjoy a meal in a place we haven’t been to in a long while. We leave GTD at 9 am, Ride the Sandie way ( sorta) to lunch.   Reminder we have our very famous ride into the New Year this Wednesday. We meet at the Waffle House in Shalimar around 11:30 pm.  If it’s cold we stall around and then leave. You can come in the car if the weather is terrible.   The whole idea is to be on your Ride as the Clock strikes midnight. We have done this for over 40 year

9 Sandies made the food call, really its food and Sandies of course we would show up. Gathered at AJ’s on the Bayou. Of course JoeJoe showed up first, even if he didn’t he gets the nod by default.  Bobby ( Waldo) B also was a show. Bobby is always a welcome addition to a Sandie get together. His humor is a bit off kilter, fits perfectly with the Sandies. Mark S  reminds me of the Uncle that shows up at Thanksgiving and watch’s all the football and in between bites yells at

Hi There, Since Tim  wasn’t able to make the official Last Ride of the Year to Stockton, AL on the 30th of Dec, Tim  wanted to head to the Stagecoach Café on Sunday instead. I met up with Tim W, Joe W, Dennis O., and Greg L . at GTD to start this little adventure. When Joe W  mentioned that we may get rain, I (Joejoe) quickly checked the weather radar and then decided to put on my wet riding gear. It was a good thing too, as it started raining lightly before we left Fort Walt

Today we had a members poker run, to raise money for Meals On Wheels. We already had a cash donation, this money was going to be extra. Let me tell you how fabulous these Sandies are 8 Sandies raised $640.00.  Just fabulous the generosity of Sandies is just off the Charts. We will add this to our donation already set-up to give. Meals is moving and once they are moved we will present the check, Again thank you from the bottom of my heart.   Now today was a fabulous day to rid

The reason for the title, what should have been a 200  mile  day turned into a 287 mile  day. We started out for Southern Sweet Creamery in Marianna. We just took a bit different way to get there. 8 Sandies  started this Twisted Journey through the hinterlands of  North Florida.   5 Sandies left GTD met 2 Sandies  in route Bobby B  and Tommy N  along the journey. There was a chance of rain for the day. Tim W  took no time to remind me of my magnetic ability to attract rain n

11 Sandies made this event  that used to kick off the Christmas Riding Season. I should say it used to, Now it’s a great charity event. I think 440 Bikes, Folks not sure how many. It’s a great place to meet old friends, I ran into a Class mate, I graduated high school with. Class of “66”, the School is now Miegs Middle school. Getting old ain’t for the weak I tell you.     Tony G joined us and it was great to see Tony , he’s been a bit absent lately, just great to see you.

What it is we will examine later. First the all-important stats, 110 miles, 7 Sandies  and we ate at the Outpost. Yes Rose, that Outpost of  local Motorcycle fame. Today it is known as the Oar House.    You would not recognize the place, it is completely  different. Food was good Staff outstanding. Jim and Anne   W  liked it. Oh I didn’t mention that Jim  and Anne  rode with us. Yep and it was simply outstanding to have them with us. It has been way too long for them Riding w

No, its not “Car 54 WERE ARE YOU”? If you can remember that chestnut you are just plain Old. No excuses you are Ancient, still hanging in there and Riding but… .   Actually, that my fellow swamp butt Sandies was today’s ride temperature riding on 285. Speaking of riding we had 11 Sandies , that my fellow travelers is great number of Sandies. A little soap box’en, a lot of the OG clubs aren’t even around, we can still put 11 Riders  on the road ?  That is pretty damn good addi
