I first heard about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge at a H.O.G.
rally in Hammond La. I overheard two
guys talking about riding from Key West to Homer, AK, and asked about it. It
sounded like something I wanted to try. I had ben through 43 States over the
years, but nothing like what they were describing.
I do a little Duck hunting and Goose Hunting in
Canada every year, but mostly just ride motorcycles when I’m not working.
Initially I just wanted to see if I could ride
that far on secondary roads and sleep outside for that any days. Now, its
gotten in my blood and I just have to give it a shot.
I’ve been
working out a little.
In 2016 I hurt my back and was not able to complete
the ride, so I decided to retire, but as this years ride kept getting closer I
decided that I had to ride one more time.
Biggest supporters are my wife and a few
friends, everyone else thinks we’re all crazy for attempting such a challenge.(
they just don’t understand)
My charity is Louisiana Adult and Teen Challenge, which exists to provide youth, adults and families with an effective
residential, biblical based solution to life-controlling problems. They
provide Free hope to every Addict in the State of Louisiana.
2010,2011,2012,2013,2015 Memorial ride, 2016,
2017 Hillbilly Hotdog ride and this year, 2018 are the events I have participated in. The HHMC is now like part of my family. Large,
diverse, fractured but still family. Seeing
riders cross the finish line knowing they just completed something most can
only dream about. Big Griff helping get my bike out of the barbed
wire fence after I rode through the ditch and got tangled up. Getting dehydrated and not knowing where I was
in 2013
