Publicly accessible rides and events that are of interest to the motorcycling community in and around northwest Florida. WELCOME This calendar displays rides and events that are open to any member of our community to join. Rides and events are added at the request of community members. Inclusion does not necessarily reflect any involvement of the Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club. Riders and community members are encouraged to do their own research and use their discretion at all times.

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 Mighty Duk 1958 - 2013 Dave Moody aka Mighty Duk Dave logged 32,906 miles as a Sandie and will forever be remembers by all of those fortunate enough to ride with him. Previous Next

Sharon was born on June 8, 1959 to Dennis and Annie Dimmick at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Sharon graduated from Fort Walton Beach High school in 1978. She was a loving wife, mother, and namaw who was a very caring person and well-liked by all who knew her. She will be dearly missed by those who loved her.

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

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

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

Overview of the SDMC, who is eligeble to join, what to expect as a member, the value of members to the club, and who our elected club officers are. ABOUT THE SAND DOLLAR MOTORCYCLE CLUB Anyone with a valid motorcycle endorsement and can maintain highway speeds, is welcome to join us. We are safety conscious, helmets are mandatory and alcohol is prohibited until the ride ends. ABOUT US The Sand Dollar M/C has been promoting and enjoying motorcycle activities since 1980. We are the premier chartered street club on the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. We welcome riders of all experience levels on all different makes of motorcycles. If it has 2 or 3 wheels, can maintain highway speeds, and can be operated safely then it (and you) will fit right in. We don’t care what you ride, only that you enjoy riding. Are you looking for great motorcycle roads in the area? Chances are that the Sandies have traveled it coming and going. We do not know the meaning of putting the bike up for the winter. We ride year-round and plan something almost every weekend. Sometimes we have a particular destination in mind, often it is just to ride. Most day rides are anywhere from 80 to 180 miles long. We tend to go where the roads and weather takes us. Since 1999, we have logged 2 million miles together as a club, and the miles keep ticking! Club rules are simple “be safe and have fun”. Motorcycle safety has always been a top priority for us. Our Skills Sundays are great fun and low key. We spend the morning practicing skills that may save our lives on the road and sharpening our safety awareness. The only person you will compete with is yourself. We urge every rider remember that motorcycle skills, especially those used in an emergency situation, are perishable. Your skills will only stay as sharp as the frequency they are practiced and used. We love to eat ; if the place serves good food and a hot cup of coffee, we’ll go visit. Often times the lines are blurred and it is hard to determine if we are a motorcycle club with an eating addiction or an eating club with a motorcycle addiction. We donate directly or assist in raising funds to benefit local charities that provide services for the elderly and families in need within our community. Frequently Asked Questions OUR MEMBERS Our club is made up of motorcycle enthusiasts who share a passion for riding and promoting safe motorcycle practices. We believe in the importance of giving back to our community and supporting local charities. We care about each member, and are concerned with the safety of the group at all times. We count on each other to take care of us and our bike if all goes wrong - and Murphy’s Law says it will at some point. Being a Sandie means being part of a family . Apply Meet the EXECUTIVE BOARD The Executive Board is responsible for running the day to day club business operations. They manage all of the things that the rest of us tend to forget about. Each officer brings their own unique vision to the club and it can be seen in everything we do.

Our club is dedicated to promoting rider safety and routinely ride throughout the southeastern United States. Club News TEASE DAY Today was way different. It wasn’t a Bobby Day. You know what a Bobby Day is: hot, wet, and miserable. The kind of day where you’re not sure whether you’re riding through Florida or being slowly boiled in a bag. But today? Today was different. When we took off, it was in the 70s and pleasant. I know that sounds suspicious, but it really happened. The sky was overcast, the humidity was manageable, and for once you could ride without feeling like somebody had thrown a wet blank 6 days ago A Bobbie’s Homecoming A Bobbie’s Homecoming As Bobbie once so eloquently put it, he was “tired of coming home hot, wore out, and wet.” Now, the wet part was not the result of any particularly exciting adventure. It was sweat, brought on by the sort of heat that makes a grown man question every decision that led him to get on a motorcycle in the first place. Well, today was what I’m calling a “Bobby Homecoming.” And it had just about everything Bobby has grown tired of. Here are the facts, for thos Sep 14 190 miles for The Best Fried Chicken Everrr Well, Martha, I’d have to say the ride went pretty good. The weather was tolerable. Now, when a Southerner says the weather was “tolerable,” that generally means it didn’t kill anybody, so we count that as a victory. It got hot enough to make you wonder if you’d accidentally ridden straight into the gates of Hades. Then, just about the time you got good and sweaty, a rain shower would come along and cool you off. And just about the time you dried out enough to feel human agai Sep 7 Read More Upcoming Events 1 day to the event Sunday Food Ride Sun, Sep 27 RSVP 7 days to the event SRI TRI - Draftbusters 2026 Sat, Oct 03 Keep an area Triathlon sanctioned and raise money for a charity at the same time!

Frequently Asked Questions about the Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club FAQ Are you guys a 1% club? Not even close. We are an AMA sanctioned club. We often joke amongst ourselves that the only people that are concerned to see the Sandies pull up are line cooks and dishwashers (we like to eat). Are you guys a Motorcycle or Riding Club? We are a motorcycle club. We focus on supporting each other, riding, and our community. It's a family of friends. Do you have a Club House/Physical Address? No. We tried this in the past; the cost and time to maintain the property was overwhelming. We salute the clubs that do maintain their own clubhouse, it was not for us. Does the club name have one "d" or two? Officially our club name is "Sand Dollar Motorcycle Club". We've got used to both variations and tend to use them interchangeably. We often call ourselves "Sandies" to add even more confusion. What participation requirements do you have for club members? Members are asked to stay safe and have fun! We take very few things seriously and a healthy sense of humor fits right in. We do not have minimum participation requirements because we understand family, work, and community obligations. We do ask every member to come out and help with a poker run or other charity events. Fun Fact: If you were to ride every planned (and unplanned) weekend ride with the club, you will average 12 to 15 thousand miles of fun riding per year. Where can I find more motorcycle safety information? We use multiple sources and are fortunate enough to have several MSF instructors/coaches in the club. A great place to start looking for more information is the MSF library: https://msf-usa.org/library/ How do I get an event published on your website? Use the "Contact " form.

SDMC Leaders < About Sir Robert President Harley Road Glide Robert Woods has been riding since the mid 1970's. He currently rides a 1996 Harley. Robert’s favorite bike is a Road Glide and would someday like to ride a CBR 1000 sport bike. Robert’s father was one of the founders of the Sand Dollar MC and Robert originally joined for that reason. Today he remains a member partly in honor of his father. Robert enjoys the camaraderie and various backgrounds of the members as well as the diversity of bikes. Robert feels the monthly skills are necessary for everyone riding to learn their bike and it’s dynamics both on and off the highway. It’s a great way to push and expand your limits in a safe, controlled environment. Robert is an avid rider and participates in many rides both long and short. An area he would like to explore on his bike is around Sturgis but not necessarily during the rally. Robert feels the Sandies are going in a good direction and are one of the most versatile motorcycle clubs in regards to safety and wide variety of bikes, with no stereotyping. One thing Robert feels strongly about is creating something the Sandies could leave as a legacy to younger clubs and keep it going forward. We have had very good success raising money for our charity (Elder Services) and seem to be the club that people look up to as we are very community oriented. “The Sand Dollars have a bright future.” president@sanddollarmc.com < 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

2016 < Back Ricky Davis 1960 - 2016 Ricky was the kind of guy that was instantly a best friend the moment you met him. His laugh was contagious. He could cut his eyes over at you and you just knew... And you'd often bust out laughing with no words spoken. Rick embodied the "knees in the wind" spirit and was on his bike with anyone that wanted to ride as often as he could. If no one had any particular place in mind, Ricky could materialize other riders from all walks of life out of thin air. He always had a group ready to ride at a moments notice. From random business openings out in the middle of nowhere, to some of the dodgiest places you never thought you'd meet new friends, Ricky rode everywhere. Always the the back, because his pipes were so loud no one else could stand it. We'd get to a stop and somehow he'd be the only one covered in road grime; grinning from ear to ear. I think of him every time I get on a bike. He was a master mechanic that never worked on his bike. When someone would try and tease him about it or ask for his opinion on how to fix their's, Ricky Ricky would quib "I used to love cars man. I want to be the guy out riding instead of sweating over them all day. It's not fun when you've got to fix 'em too". I had the pleasure of riding across the country with Ricky and Carolann. It was my first long trip, and he taught me the importance of going wherever the road leads and not getting caught up in the small stuff. Ricky was an active member of the Sand Dollar MC, a honorary member of the Green Knights MMC Chapter 89, a BACA supporter, and rode with the Emerald Coast HOGs chapter # 3605. Ricky was a great friend to all who had the pleasure of meeting him. - BobbyB Previous Next
