Happy Intruder Sunday! What a beautiful day as Stacy and I cruise into Zippy’s. Prez and Sparky have the SBU meeting so I take the reins to get our day started. We greet our Intruder and Ohana members, Rudy and Fran, Twila and Richard, Dandy, Papa “G”, Bridget and Coop (Jim), Ray H. and Cindy H., Calvin, Gary, and Steve and Serena. Great group and they are ready to ride. I make the announcements and it’s decided that we will head towards the “Drop Zone” as we make our way to the North Shore. Brudda Richard blesses the day and we get started.

We make our way enjoying each other’s company and the weather as we cruise to the drop zone to pay our respects to our fallen brother, Santos. Richard asks for blessings over Santos and we share stories and memories of our time with him. Papa “G” puts some fresh flowers on his post and straightens the flag as Santos was a veteran as well.

We saddle up and head around to the front pit stop for restrooms and drinks for some. We cruise in and realize that we have picked up some extras. Prez and Sparky have snuck in the back of us with guest rider Joe.

As we make our way to Haleiwa, some acknowledge that a gas stop is needed so we hit the Sunset Chevron for fill-ups. Some suggestions are made and it’s decided, Turtle Bay sounds great for lunch so we mount up and we are on our way. Lots of hungry appetites all around. Great food, good company and we spend some serious talk time with a lot of laughter all around. Steve assured us the burgers were great and he was right on the mark.

Lunch over, several hang together to hit another few sites along the way. We make our way toward Ka a a'wa and come into Kaneohe again stopping at the pier for a break. We check out the boats as it was really warm and the water looks inviting.

It was a beautiful day in Paradise. Good friends, good food and I look forward to seeing everyone next week.

As ever your VP,

“Chameleon”

P.S. Don’t forget next Sat. June 12th, the KoaPuna “Hot Summer Nights poker run and party. If you can, be there!
