First 8 Sandies Adventure: Breakfast, Roads, and Good Company

Big News in the Sandies Community

First, 8 Sandies completed an impressive 165 miles to enjoy breakfast and ride afterward. We’re excited to share some incredible news! STOP THE PRESSES, ATTENTION ALL THE SHIPS AT SEA! Tommy (Five Wheels) has added a stunning dark green 2023 Spyder to his collection, which also includes a beautiful Gen 3 GL. If you didn't catch the "five wheels" reference, just send me a PM for an explanation.

This adventurous day started on a high note, and there’s plenty more to share!

The Interesting Cast of Characters

On this journey, we encountered a unique mix of personalities. Let’s set the record straight: Bobby B is not the easiest person to be around. He is infamous for his witty, double-meaning remarks. For instance, when I mentioned how many years Sam and I have been married, Bobby quickly chimed in, “Oh, I was one year old when that happened.” Was that really necessary? Sandy S, his sidekick and a true pot stirrer, seemed to think that it was!

Despite that, a special thank you goes out to Mark S, who played the role of the "Sheepdog" today. Thank you, Mark, for keeping us on track! JoeJoe also deserves recognition for keeping us informed about the weather conditions throughout the ride. Thank you, Joe!

Breakfast at Fannin’s

Now, let’s talk about breakfast. We dined at Fannin’s, located north of DeFuniak Springs. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was simply fun. One lovely waitress took our orders and, when the time came to serve our meals, another lady delivered the food.

As she stood holding plates, she asked, “Who had this?” Eventually, one of us spoke up with, “It’s mine!” Then another chimed in. The lady quickly realized that the meals were all out of order at the table. With a laugh, she exclaimed, “Thank You, Jesus!” It seemed the previous server wasn’t known for her organizational skills.

Their comedic routine added an extra layer of joy to our meal. It’s not every day you get a stand-up comedy show along with a delicious breakfast. Fannin’s is truly worth the visit!

Riding to New Destinations

After breakfast, we set out for an exquisite ride on some outstanding roads. We even took a detour that turned out to be a delightful surprise. I must admit; it was challenging for me to resist the urge to drive past the "road closed" sign. However, cooler heads prevailed, and I decided to follow the detour.

The ride proved to be glorious. We enjoyed stunning scenery, delicious food, and the company of great friends. Who could ask for more?

The Journey's Lasting Memories

Reflecting on our day, the combination of laughter, good food, and the thrill of the open road made for an unforgettable adventure. It’s moments like these that remind us of the joys of riding and the camaraderie it fosters. So, if you are looking for a remarkable experience similar to what we had, don’t hesitate to join the Sandies crew on the next ride.

Assuming you're intrigued by our adventures, remember that memories matter in the realm of motorcycling. Let's cherish these moments and look forward to our next gathering.
