We had ten for breakfast and had a nice time eating and chatting. Patti and I, Twan and his lady friend, Susan Wagner, Will and Karla Hanson, Mike Stoddard, his friend Ron from Green Valley, who has been to our breakfasts before and Mike Martin, from Sacremento, Rich Fancher’s old chapter. Mike always comes to stay in Tombstone and visits with our chapter when he is here. He and Rich went to the conference in Texas. Will and Karla had to head home after breakfast to pack for a vacation. After breakfast we took a ride wanting to see the new bridge at Marsh Station Rd, so we went east on Old Benson Highway. I took them over the bridge, making a U-turn at the south end to go back to the westbound entrance ramp for I-10. We rode I-10 for the the distance back to the Sonoita Highway, SR 83, exit to head to Sonoita. It was a nice sunny morning, great for a ride. In Sonoita, we went west on SR 82 riding through Patagonia and on toward Nogales, AZ. Not wanting to ride through the congestion of Nogales, we took the by-pass route, River RD. to Via Frontera made the right and then the left onto Ruby Rd. A couple bikes needed fuel, so we stopped at Ruby Rd and I-19 for something to drink, use the WC (Water Closet) and their fuel. We discussed the plan for the remainder of the ride. We all decided we were going to exit I-19 at Continental Rd, then we would head toward the directions we needed to go for home. Mike Stoddard and Ron went west on Continental Rd, Patti and I, Sue, Twan and Mike went east. Stan Thibaut

So a decision was made and we all headed over to Old Times Cafe on Prince. We were able to get our private room like we have in the past. We also had a great turnout. There were a total of fifteen (15) members, family and friends in attendance.

Those who made the ride were: Stan & Patti, Norm, John Falzone, John J., Twan, Mike Stoddard, Mark Robinson, Ray Valenzuela, Susan Wagner and her son Ryan, Bill “Rev” Calkins, Mike Martin, Bev, and of course myself.
A great time was had with a lot of conversations about the upcoming SWC and Mike Martins’ ride to Texas. Looks like only Rich & Mike are going on that ride. After a great breakfast we all went our separate ways with several members stopping at THD on their way home.
