Meet The New Rider Louis Preciado # 917

Not only does Louis ride his motorcycle but he also spend time coaching softball, and the Boy scouts has been something else he does for fun. "So this whole thing is great, being out doors, sleeping next to the bike." He is going to do the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge himself although he did try to convince some of his riding friends. They are planning on keeping an eye on him with US Fleet Tracking. The tracker will be able to really bring to life his experience. Social media has been a large part of how Louis first got a taste of what HHMC was. Brad was caught up in some serious weather in Corpus Christi and mentioned the HHMC and Louis started following him on Facebook.  Forums on long distance events are loaded with HHMC and he kept tripping over Hoka Hey riders and had to find out what this was all about.

A warrior to Louis is someone who has heart, to help people and stand for what you think is right. Great Grandma being Navajo he is very passionate about the Native American people. So for him Hoka Hey has a very deep history. He says "it was like finding a family." HHMC riders are "like a friend you haven't talked to in a long time and I don't even know them." "ONE BIG NATION TRIBE."

 His family is planning on seeing him off in OK.  Loving  Louis's confidence, he asked "If I get to the finish line early, Do I have to hang around?" LOL He says "don't go into this thinking negative." Like a lot of HHMC riders they don't stop riding. This is just a little more challenging then a typical day out with friends but the question on a really LONG DISTANCE RIDERS mind is "Where to next."

Louis will be raising support for CHASA  . His Granddaughter has been diagnosed with CP.
