Saturday 3/4/2023

Hi everyone, It was a wonderful day for a ride. There were 9 bikes with 3 lady angles. We were lucky to have Bill Lieser with a new restaurant, Mexican. The food was good and the service was great. We didn't have to wait long to be seated. We all thought the coffee was the best we'd had in a long time. Bill lead with Dennis as our tail. Bill was full of information that I hadn't heard be for. We rode 150 + miles and I got home at 1:30. The weather is supposed to be in the '70s all week. (Read on) the blue's angle year-end party is coming up fast, So make sure you get your tickets from Mini Al so they will know how much food to get. Pete and his crew are in charge so if anyone can help him please do. Also, we need someone to take the President's position. Duane is stepping down. I will help anyone as much as I can. Also If you can get something or gift cards is one good thing as door prizes. Remember the date 3/18/23 time 11 am to 3 pm in the Apache room at Golden Vista.

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
