Saturday 10/8/22

Four bikes met at the Chevron for a wonderful day's ride. We decided on the new Head Quarter restaurant for our breakfast, after I spilled my iced tea on the table. I didn't know Dan Knorr and Dennis Mckinney could move so fast. I don't think anyone got wet but me. We left the Restaurant and headed for Eloy airport. where about a hundred ski-diver were practicing for the big show this coming weekend. I think the group plans on going to watch. More than likely they will have breakfast somewhere close.

We stopped for fuel at Coolidge. Dennis and Dan stayed a while longer to watch more Diving. Jay and I got home at about 1:pm with 181.2 miles.

DON'T FORGET THE BIG INTERNATIONAL AIR SHOW OCT.14 15 16

Ride safe Paul B

About the Blue's Angels

The “Blue’s Angels” was formed in 1995 by John H. Kelty. The name of the group came from John’s original 1993 1500 cc blue Goldwing which he named “Blue”. The "Angels" was chosen because all the riders are all such good little boys with their toys, and most of all because we wanted prayer involved as we rode and socialized.

Blue’s Angel's started with six bikes from the Golden Vista Resort in Apache Junction, AZ. and four from West Phoenix. There are now over 40 active, enthusiastic guys and girls. Every time “Blue” met a new person at Golden Vista he asks “why don't you buy a motorcycle?” Many did!

Blue’s Angels strive for comradeship while doing a fairly dangerous hobby and enjoying every minute of the time we ride. Blue loved people and wanted them to all feel the joy of riding as he did.

In the Spring of 2012, Blue handed the leadership of the group to Bill (Dollar Bill) Barrington who did so with the mutual agreement that it remained "Blue's Angels" and that while he would coordinate the rides and the general direction of the riders, John Kelty remained "THE MAN"

Unfortunately after over 20 years of riding nearly 250,000 miles, Blue succumbed to cancer on November 11, 2014. Up until his last days he loved to ride and it was his hope, as well as his families, that the Angels remain together and continue riding and loving the open road as much as Blue did.

The Angels have no specific restrictions of membership. The only requirement would be that members maintain a safe bike. All riders are encouraged to complete a motorcycle safety course. To be an official member one must invest $12.00 to buy a Blue's Angels Cap. After that huge expense, there are no dues or fees.

The main goals are:

- to keep the group going forever

- to keep it simple and informal

- to keep the prayers flowing for all in need
