You can't out give GOD!

I love my life. Not bragging at all because it doesn't come without it's share of hurdles to leap, climb and sometimes crawl over but what ever it takes it never ceases to amazing me that I am never alone in doing it. If you have been a friend of mine for any length of time you know I ask you to give. Whether its your money your time or your prayers I'm usually asking for you to do something! So that when something does prick your heart like it does mine on a regular bases you can follow the leading of that heart felt ping and get blessed like I do all the time. SO all that being said THANK YOU to all who have been so faithful to oblige me in asking so much of you but honestly DOESN'T"T IT FEEL GREAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sounds like all you do is eat?!?!

Although eating is a necessity to survive, eating is also something that brings family and friends together. It may sound crazy to ride 2000 miles to get a cheeseburger and Amish pie but that is just the prize at the end of a challenge we give ourselves and what a great motivator. Think about it, some of your best memories are made around a dinner table, picnic table, TV table, standing around an open fire, you name it. Food is a language we all understand, some of us a little better than others, but none the less universal.
The stories that are shared around these meals, snacks, and indulgences are why we do what we do. Last summer while making my way from Key West, Fl. to Homer, AK (by the way the pay off was a steak dinner in Homer at AJ's OldTown Steakhouse & Tavern ) a guy and his girlfriend passed me. As he passed me he gave me a thumbs up and mouthed the words HOKA HEY! Well Saturday this young man was in Moonshine. He saw me and the bike again and said "Is that your bike?" When I said yes he asked me if I remembered this incident and my respond was "I not only remember it I have told that story."
There is suppose to be a place  Pie Town New Mexico that I think needs a visit. Hey there's an idea maybe what I need to do is challenge my fellow riding friends to come and get their turtles!

Coast to Coast on Turtles

I will try and sum up the last 5 years on this blog. The Hoka Hey Motorcycle challenge has really change my whole purpose for riding. It use to be just something fun and for me long rides have always been preferred over lunch and dessert hops. Over the years since 2010 when I first found out about the HHMC to now the adventures have been amazing.
In 2010 riders were challenged to go from Key West, Fl. to Homer, AK. I did not make it to Alaska but rode 11,000 miles that trip.
In 2011 was the Granddad of HHMC's and started in Mesa, AZ rode through all 48 contiguous states and finished in Cape Breton, NS where I did finish and rode 18,800 miles that trip.
In 2012 Was started in Las Vegas, NV. and ended at Wolf's Run in Irving, NY located on the Seneca Indian Reservation. I finished!
In 2013 Was started and ended at Wolf's Run in Irving, NY  I finished! This was the most fun year for me tag teaming with a bunch of different riders and being rescued by a team of riders with light bulbs for my head light.
In 2014 was from Key West, Fl. to Homer, AK. but my ride was cut short when I crashed in Marietta, Ga. before I ever got started so........
ON July 5th 2015  I started my journey from KW to Homer and was successful at reaching Homer FINALLY, the same day but one year later to when I crashed in Ga. making my trip in under 12 days.
So here we are looking at 2016, the journey will be exclusively in the USA this year from the Pala Casino and Resort in Pala, Ca. and ending in Irving, NY at Wolf's Run. I am now the rider relations director for the event and have spent the winter giving my input and efforts to make this 2016 challenge AMAZING!!!!!! http://hokaheychallenge.com/
