2017 < Back The Brick 1947 - 2017 Phil Bowie Ride on Phil, on your white winged Harley Davidson through Eternity "His Way" Phil logged 41,298 miles as a Sandie and will forever be remembers by all of those fortunate enough to ride with him. Previous Next

2024 < Back M2 Sensei 1957 - 2024 Michael McMillian aka M2 aka Sensei Michael was a devoted husband and motorcycle enthusiast. Michael started riding with the Sandies back in February 2004. He racked up an impressive 41,934 miles with the club, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of miles he put on tracks, courses, streets, and highways. 1,024 of those miles was accomplished on a FZ1 (Yamaha) in less than 24 hours. He did it with nine other Sandies on April 21, 2007, and always said he was really glad that he accomplished that feat, as it taught him that he was not ever interested in doing anything like that ever again. Michael was a rider coach first and foremost. He always prioritized teaching others over most everything else. He made a point to show up to Skills and Fun Sunday whenever he could just to help less experienced riders feel more comfortable controlling their bikes. He was passionate about safety, and loved to make sure everyone had access to the resources they needed. He went out of his way to educate and support fellow Sandies as well as other motorcyclists across the country. He really loved the Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club, and once commented that there was no other club out there that had so few rules. We will all miss M2's "precision" riding (weaving and dodging imaginary obstacles), perpetual randomness of motorcycle type mismatch for the ride planned, his masculine cup holder and bendy straw usage, and the constant reminders that we need to account for extra bathroom breaks. I know I will miss his animated story telling and tactful use of bad puns/dad jokes. Bobby B Got to know Michael when we worked the stop at Liza Jackson 7-8 years ago. We talked about his being in jewelry business, my real estate career, & lots of other stuff. We discovered our political leanings were similar & later learned we both shared similar political satire authors as well as certain political cartoonists. As an older rider that started later in life, his lessons were invaluable and probably saved lives. I’ll miss you my friend. If you happen to run into my wife or daughter, lie & tell them I’m behaving. -Frank W Previous Next

SDMC Leaders < About Waldo Secretary Victory XCT Bobby has been a Sandie since 2012 and was given his road name when he was working a stop for one of the poker runs. He didn’t verify the actual location of the stop he was working and went to the same location from the last poker run he worked. Not being where he was expected to be, “Waldo” quickly caught on as his moniker. Bobby has a varied work career from retail, fast food, construction, two tours in the Air Force, and ultimately a test engineer. He enjoys live music shows, playing drums and riding. His first bike was a Yamaha V-Star 1100 and now rides a Victory Cross Country Tour which is his ‘dream bike’. Bobby joined the Sand Dollars because he didn’t know very many people that rode and wanted to learn the area back roads. The things Bobby likes best about the Sandies are the diversity, experience of the members, safe riding practices, trip planning, and maintenance. The Sandies are a huge resource and always willing to share their knowledge. He attends skills when he can, as he enjoys the practice and learns a lot. However, he also likes to just ride and will skip them in order to ride someplace new. Bobby participates in the annual tours, and doesn't need much convincing when there's a discussion about an overnight trip. Bobby’s dream ride is the Million Dollar Highway, and touring along the California coast through the Redwoods and into Utah and Washington. The Sandies are diverse, enthusiastic and accepting of everyone. Bobby looks forward to meeting and welcoming new members as they come on board. secretary@sanddollarmc.com < Previous Next >

2013 < Back Harry Garner 1938 - 2013 Harry logged 2,303 miles as a Sandie and will forever be remembers by all of those fortunate enough to ride with him. Previous Next

2021 < Back Pat Griffin 1961 - 2021 Pat Griffin Pat joined the Sand Dollar's in 2016. He made sport out of making any situation more awkward. I didn't get the opportunity to ride with Pat very often, everyone would always have a Pat story to share whenever we would meet up. Pat would always give a sheepish smile and confirm the authenticity of the shenanigans as told. Bobby B Previous Next

2021 < Back Da Duke 1949 - 2021 Jim Morrison aka Da Duke I have no idea how long Jim was a Sand Dollar. He is credited with 54,017 miles with the club, which indicated he was around for a long time. By the time I joined the club, Jim rarely rode with us. However, he was all smiles when he bought the first electric bike in the club. The range was limited, but he did go out for a handful of our shorter rides with us. Jim didn't miss a business meeting or club event. He was behind the scenes helping in any way that he could. He put together our Newsletters and kept track of all the tiny details we would forget. I never knew if he saw us when the club gathered outside of his hospital window on our bikes, but I really hope he at least heard people in the hospital talking about it. I know he would of smiled if he did. Bobby Previous Next

2011 < Back Terry Cooper 1946 - 2011 Terry's picture speaks volumes as to Terry's love of life. Terry just flat loved life, always a smile, always with a funny comment. Terry was a Professor at University of Tennessee Chattanooga Branch. Terry was also a retired Civil Service Manager. When Terry was at Eglin Terry discovered the Sandies. Neither of us were the same afterward. Could Terry ride... Terry was an excellent bike handler. Don't let the picture in the gravel fool you, Terry was an excellent rider. Terry was taken from us way too early, we miss him greatly. Terry logged 15,914 miles as a Sandie and will forever be remembers by all of those fortunate enough to ride with him. Previous Next

2007 < Back Bill Sleigh 1935 - 2007 The Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club spells its name two different ways, runs poker runs backwards, thinks the fewer road maps on hand the better, thinks the more U-turns during a ride the better, attracts rain and cold for scheduled rides but presses on anyway, has members with many different clothes, and will call you at 11 o’clock at night and say “let’s ride, they’re tearing down the Navarre bridge toll gate”. This club seems to pride itself on being unofficially non-conventional as in “The Sandie Way”. This is reflected in the skills sessions, in particular the box. While convention now says avoid convention and think “outside the box” it fits that the Sandies would do the opposite and stay “inside the box”. To further thumb their nose at convention, (sorry but this is my last chance to say it) the Sandie Box is real not theoretical, drawn on the ground in chalk and is as small as Joe Joe’s meanness level dictates. While conventional clubs are kicking the tires and hauling down the road, Sandies sweat the box. Why inside the box? Learning to drive inside the box teaches bike-handling skills and impresses on you the need to keep these skills up. When I first started the club our Road Box Guy noted I couldn’t stay in the box even if I were on a child’s tricycle. I still finish a beginning rider but thanks to all those who work, so hard to put on the Skills sessions I wound up being able to stay in the box even with figure of 8s. So keep on doing things the Sandy Way. It works. - Bill Sleigh (1935-2007) When Bill was terminally ill, this was his letter of resignation from the Sandies. No one has better captured who we are as Bill did in this Letter. It has become our Credo. This is why we ride - it’s who we are. Previous Next

2013 < Back SKWIRREL 1953 - 2013 Shaaron Jackson Lively S haaron Jackson Lively, entered into Eternal rest, Friday, Jan. 25, 2013. Shaaron was born on Sept. 15, 1953, Shaaron was adopted into a home by a father who loved her with all his heart Her two sons miss her and I miss her friendship and humor. She worked very hard to be a good motorcycle rider and was successful. She enjoyed riding with the Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club. Whether on a weekend ride, an overnight adventure or a multi-day adventure to new places. She did her best to be a good Sand Dollar. She paid her dues, worked events and attended most of the meetings and parties. One of her favorite Sandy rides was to Barbers Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Leeds Alabama. She loved her family and the Sand Dollar Family. She enjoyed Thunder Beach Daytona and other adventures. But always with other members when possible. From a frozen ride to Birmingham (27F !!) to hot summer rides, she was always ready to go. Working Sandy events was one of her contributions. Going from being a pillion warmer to passing her MC beginners course, she went from a Honda Rebel 250 to a Honda Shadow 650. Then she stepped up to the Honda Magna 750. She loved riding that bike. She owned two of them a 98 model and a 2003 model She loved the power and loved to ride daily. She went grocery shopping on it. So what if it took half a day and 4 trips to the store. It was all RIDING! She passed in a tragic accident on “Bloody 98” due to an unthinking and uncaring stupid person. (That was shown when he told others “I didn't hit her---she hit ME!” Yes technically that is true. She hit him at 55mph when he pulled out in front of her.) Her friends and family sorely miss her and always will. She is now one of the Sandies in Heaven riding with her angel wings. - SpectreSteve S haaron was taken from us suddenly by a truck that pulled out in front of her while doing one of the things she enjoyed most riding her motorcycle. It was a shock to all that knew her and has left many of us in disbelief and totally heart broken. Shaaron was like her last name the most lively woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life. Passionate, Fun Loving, Patriotic, Life of the Party, Safe Riding Advocate, are only a few words that can not do justice to describe her. She was a strongly active member in the Patriot Guard and, strongly supported all our military members. She was one of those people that could light up a room when she walked in and, always kept people smiling and laughing. She is survived by her two sons Chris, Shelby, and the love of her life Steve and we are soulfully sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. She touched so many lives and, will ride on in our in our thoughts and memories forever. - Sandie John Skwirrel logged 59,506 miles as a Sandie and will forever be remembers by all of those fortunate enough to ride with her.

2023 < Back Bingo Bob 1961 - 2023 Robert Lawrence aka Bingo Bob Those of you “been around Sandies“ know Bob was one of the nicest people you would be privileged to know. Bob was the only person I knew that told Life Flight, at the scene of his motorcycle accident , he was riding in the Ambulance. I’m sure the Sandie gang above have already welcomed Bob home. George E Always chain smoking, and never missed a chance to point out when you were overlooking something obvious or did something dumb. He was a nice guy who genuinely cared for the Sandie family. Bob first rode with the Sand Dollar's on Jun 29, 2008. He logged 15,176 miles with the club and well liked by everyone that knew him. I always enjoyed riding in the group with him. We were heartbroken when he could no longer ride with us, and the news of his passing brought all of the memories flooding back. We miss ya Bob! Bobby B Previous Next
