After riding the 2016 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge this South African native and now US citizen has learned a lot about what he will do different in 2018. Spending time in the gym and lots more time in the saddle has been his plan of action to make this one to the finish line. Preparing not only physically but mentally. He says you have to prepare for something a lot tougher than yourself because he knows everyone has limits.
He first learned about the HHMC while spending time at the bike rally in Sturgis where the ti pi was set up at the Black Hills Harley Davidson and what he was hearing about this "prestigious event" would challenge your riding skills interested him and his friend Frank. Hearing how the HHMC not only challenged the riders motorcycle skills but gives back to the community was very attractive as well. The ultimate in long distance riding, which after riding until an unfortunate incident that took him out of the event in Ohio, lived up to his expectations.
In spite of the trials Reg experienced on his first event he decided to come back and try again with the knowledge he has acquired from the experience.
He has realized people have limits and you have to acknowledge them. Knowing the challenge is against yourself and no one else. "It has a special place in my heart and I will continue to do the challenge as long as I am able to do it."
