The Missing in America Project Ride (MIAP) was on Saturday March 28th. We met at Adair Funeral home where we picked up 17 urns containing the ashes for WWI, Vietnam, Peace Time Vets, and one urn containing the remains of a spouse. We preceded to RV City in Huachuca City where we met many of bikers from there we went to the Veterans Cemetery for the formal Ceremony. Well over 100 motorcycles from PGR, ALR, VFW, CMA, Combat Vets to name just a few were in attendance. Larry Hougland, Dan Thrasher, Robert Perry and myself represented BKAZIX. The MIAP team has traveled to over 1700 funeral homes looking for unclaimed Veteran remains in hopes of returning them for proper burial. There are over 23,000 funeral homes in America. I have put a photo gallery on our Web Page under the “Photos” Tab.

We had a very good turnout this month for our monthly breakfast ride. We had a total of fourteen members and family for breakfast. Those who made the ride were; Jim Kneup, Dan Thrasher, Terry, Bill “Rev” Calkins, “John Wayne” McQuay, John Howe, Twan Van Der Sanden, Frank Brunetti, John Falzone, Bruce & Bonnie Distler, Bear & Robi Campbell, and yours truly. It was good seeing some familiar but old faces who have not made any rides lately. After breakfast Jim, Bruce, Dan, Bear, John Wayne, and myself headed for a short ride up to Mt. Lemmon. Several of these guys have never been so it would be a nice ride. We started out with a balmy 75 degrees. By the time we reached Ski Valley it was a chilly 52 degrees. We walked around the area watching the chair lift in operation. Jim decided to head down the mountain while Dan, Bear, Bruce, and I explored Summerhaven. After a short ride through Summerhaven we headed back down the mountain toward our respective homes. Here are a few breakfast photos and some from Mt. Lemmon.

Well our Valentines day breakfast is over and history. We had a GREAT turnout this month. This breakfast even brought out some of our long lost members. A total of 17 members and family made the ride. Those who joined us for breakfast were; Jim Kneup, Frank & Kate Brunetti, John Falzone, John Howe, Mike Stoddard, Norm Nestlerode, Norm & Mary Hubbard, Russ & Jackie Cole, Stan & Patti Thibaut, Terry, and Bruce & Bonnie Distler, who were celebrating 34 years of marriage. After enjoying a wonderful breakfast at the Vail Steakhouse several of us took a short ride/detour to Green Valley by way of Wentworth and Sahuarita Road. However once on Sahuarita Road we had to make and unexpected stop. One of our Harley riders, we won’t mention names, had inadvertently activated his road hazard lights only to find he didn’t know how to turn them off. After consulting his manual, every H-D rider has one, he was able to turn off the road hazard lights and we continued our ride to Green Valley and back to Tucson. Here are a few pictures of those who made the Valentines Day breakfast.
