The founder of the place for Motercyles passed away today. More details to follow

8 intrepid  Sandies  braved the cool sunshine . To go 170 miles  to eat a damn good lunch and have fun doing it. We wandered throughout the county. The county had enacted a surtax for road improvement. I say its money well spent. All kinds of really rough pavement has been resurfaced, River Road being one. Want to know where a road goes in Okaloosa County ask Ken C. As a Deputy Ken  worked all through the county. Now other roads Tim (Road Whiz) W  is your source. Tim knows every pig path and goat trail. If it has pavement or in some cases no pavement, Tim  knows.   It was cool as hell to have Greg L  with his new BMW join us today. Man is it an awesome motorcycle. Greg  has kitted it out first class. The lights in front are simply something to see. They are yellow and BRIGHT, the turn signals run through them. When Greg hits a turn signal they are very very visible. Press the horn and the lights do a dance . Beautiful Greg.   Another new Ride in the Sandies, Tim W  has a new Spyder, a new 2025. Can-Am totally revamped the 2025,  the controls are so user friendly compared to previous models. Tim  has put the necessary farkles on, Tim  is kind of utilitarian, it serves a purpose or it don’t find a home on Tim’s  ride. Very nice color also Tim.   Okay the adventure gets interesting, it seems Bobby’s  bladder was full. Well all the too and froing around Okaloosa county was not helping matters a bit. Bobby  finally asked if we could stop, well just on the Florida line we did. Made sure Bobby  left his DNA in Florida. As all of you are aware JoeJoe  takes photos, lots of photos.   Bobby had to caution Joe  that some subjects were, well better left off the photo record. Apparently DNA depositing is one of them. Thank you to Tommy N  for his keeping us all together. Tommy  is very good at letting me know what the status of the group is. Thanks again Tommy  .   Yes it was cool but there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The roads were simply outstanding. Tim  led us back  home on some really nice roads thank you Tim .      It was an outstanding day it was perfect after weeks of being stuck inside.

Hi There, Have some pictures from today's ride to Dee's Restaurant in Vernon, FL. Tim wanted to ride this weekend, and Sunday looks to be a washout due to rain and thunderstorms being predicted. So he gathered up a few Sandollars, and we mostly met at Good Things Donuts (GTD). Tim W, Howard   W , and I (Joejoe)met at GTD, with a few of us enjoying some drinks and morning snacks before the ride On the way north on Hwy 285, we met up with Tommy N , who completed today's riding crew. Tim  took us on a merry jaunt through the woods in the northern parts of the Florida panhandle. Vernon is about 78 miles from Fort Walton Beach, but somehow Tim stretched it out to 100 miles. I got to get up close to nature too, as a deer wanted to say "Hi" from about 4 feet from the road surface along the way. We all had a very good meal at Dee's, and Howard  had to get home, so he made his own way home after lunch. The rest of us walked around the Vernon town square/park viewing several heritage items and then crossed the square to visit the local dive shop. After our visit, we took a semi-direct route back to Fort Walton Beach, but still got to see some more woods and nature along the way. It was another very enjoyable ride led by Tim . Thanks, Tim !  I ended up riding 200 miles round-trip from my house. JOEJOE JOEJOE
