It was a beautiful day to ride. The sun was out and looking so good. I got up at 6 AM and decided to go to church. After church I had to go to FRA for Street Bikers United meeting since it was the first Sunday of the month. I called Kimo to let him know Prez was not planning on riding today. I had a "honey do list to do". Course it was really about SUPERBOWL but thought I would humor her.

Todays riders were Kimo, Ruby, Dervin and Marc, Jim, Rudy, Steve, Woody and Cal "Da Caboose". Manning our roads as guards were Dervin and Marc. Ohana members present were Stacy and Serena. We were joined by guest riders Joseph R. and Matt J. and Dandy M.

Welcome back Ruby "Ms. Yeehaaa". We're sure the Tabasco Sauce was flowing.

Kimo asked the blessing for the day. From Zippy's, Kimo and Ruby lead the pack to the South Shore to Sandy Beach 1st stop.

Then off to the He'eia Pier Kaneohe for a snack. By then Super Bowl claimed most of the riders and it was down to 7 headed for Haleiwa. "Lunch was calling". It's the end of ride for the final few and the proud after a hearty lunch at Cholo's.

Good ride, clocked 137 miles and no problems.

Hope to see all next week. Be safe.

Mahalo,

Kimo and Stacy

The day was not looking too good. Kaneohe was pouring rain around 7 am. I decided to wait till 9 am to check the weather in town. The word was “sunny skies let’s ride”.

I got on my motorcycle and headed to Zippy's. When I got there, members Jim B, Calvin H, Marc K, Kimo N, Richard T, Vinney V, Rudy W, were there and ready to ride. Ohana members present were Sparky, Fran and Twila. We welcomed Guest riders Joseph R. and Matt J. who were also eager and ready to do some riding.

Richard asked the blessing for the day. The sun even came out stronger after the prayer. Richard still has the POWER. Cal and Jim had other commitments and they headed one way as we took off in the opposite direction.

We headed west to Yokohama Bay. When we got there, we were in luck, the whales were doing their thing. Was a very nice sight to see the whales playing in the ocean. We got to talk stories with a few other motorcycle clubs members there. Some of our old friends from IOH as well. We headed back to 711 in Makaha to have a drink and some snacks and fuel for some.

Lunch was calling, so we headed for Wahiawa. Marc, Kimo, Richard, Vinney, Rudy, Ohana members: Sparky, Fran and Twila with our Guest rider Joseph enjoyed a nice lunch at Dots.

After lunch, a few headed east bound, and the rest of us headed north. I got home around 4 pm. It was a very nice day after the bad start out of Kaneohe.

Hope to see all next week. Be safe.

I just wanted to take this time to wish all our members a safe holiday season. In the “day to day scheme of things” we forget just how much our Intruder families mean to us. I feel blessed to be able to count on each and everyone of you, whether it be to help with a function or just someone to “talk story” with.

No matter what the need you see our teal out in full force. I don’t always take the time to thank each and every one of you personally, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart. To have an extended family is a very special thing, but at this time of year I am reminded again and again how everyone plays a part of our day to day lives.

We had a wonderful turnout for the Toy Run this year. Well over 4,000 bikes participated. SBU did awesome thanks to all of the help you Intruders gave once again. I feel great pride when I see all the teal directing traffic, T-shirt sales, water sales, and many other things too numerous to mention. I’m able to do what I have to do thanks to all of my members and their families.

It was good having Santos back into our fold.
Let's remember to thank our Road Guards that play a very important part in keeping all of us to maintain safe riding. I also want to thank our photographer, Marc for taking all the wonderful pictures. We can always count on a story within each and every picture that he takes. Thank you, Marc. Please take time to check in the gallery to see all the new pictures.

We did our annual Thanksgiving at the Blaisdell again. I want to thank Sparky, Marc, Fran/Rudy, Pat/Tawnie, Papa “G”, Richard/Twila, Bucky, Jim/Francis, Scotty/Ulu, Joseph and Ruby for once again stepping up to the plate and helping to serve drinks.

Please take care and be safe through this holiday season.
