Not sure what that phrase means. Mice make no plans, they act on instinct. But we make plans and the plans for our 2015 Memorial
Ride and the 2016 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge are coming together nicely!! We are moving forward with plans each day and
will reveal all of the details when we launch a completely revised website in
the coming weeks. The new site has a totally
new look and direction and is shaping up to be an exceptional product!! Not that we want to tease you… well, maybe we
do… keep your eyes open for the launch of the new website and all will be
revealed. Once launched, we are confident, you will agree it was worth the
wait!
In the mean time, the Board of Directors for the Medicine
Show LLC also wants you to know we are working hard to create a meaningful
event for 2016. One that will not only tax
us, fight us and endeavor to break us, but one that will also provide to us an
indescribable set of feelings and a new way of thinking.
To a Hoka Hey Challenger the accomplishment of crossing the
finish line comes with a price. Yes, we
pay money to ride, but it is not the money I am talking about. We are told the best things in life are free,
but that is not entirely true. In fact,
the best things in life are never really free. They may not have a monetary price
tag, but it will most certainly cost you in time, effort and sometimes
emotional or physical pain.
Although there will be NO entry fee for the 2015 event… It
will cost you. You’ll pay the price of
time, commitment, determination, pain and discomfort. We go into it knowing these things, but we
choose to persevere because we intend to honor those individuals that lost
their lives while participating in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. Charles Lynn (6/26/2010), Kenneth Greene (7/4/2010),
John Anderson (6/26/2013) and Newton Pereira (7/27/2014) all believed in the
ideals that were set forth when the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge kicked off in
2010. It is probable these intrepid individuals came
to the starting line with one goal in mind, but it is almost certain those
plans shifted long before their rides were ended... Such is the way of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle
Challenge.
We invite all Hoka Hey Challengers and supporters on any
make or model of motorcycle to join us at the Geographic Center of the US in
Lebanon, KS on the morning of July 31st, 2015. We will ride as a group to South Dakota that
day and will reconvene to parade down Main St. Sturgis on August 1st
where the Indian Motorcycle Sturgis store (2106 Lazelle St. Sturgis
605-206-7830), owned by our own Chris Johnson (Hoka Hey Rider #75) will welcome
us with a party that is worthy of our Fallen Riders!
Registration for both the 2015 Memorial Ride and the 2016
Hoka Hey Challenge will begin when the new website is launched.
Also, we would like
to include links for our Challengers on our new site. So, if you have a personal website, you own
your own business, or you have a BLOG; we would love to include a link on the
new “Friends of Hoka Hey” page! Please
forward your links (and/or contact information for Hoka Hey Rider owned
businesses), stories and pictures to steve.briscoe@hokaheychallenge.com
if you wish to share!
