The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge Memorial Ride is fast
approaching. On the 31st of
July over 100 riders will depart Red Cloud, Nebraska for a 500 mile group ride
to Hot Springs, South Dakota. But, it
doesn’t stop there. On the 1st
of August many of these same riders and others will participate in an escorted
parade down main Street Sturgis to kick off the 75th Anniversary of "Sturgis Bike Week" and that ride will culminate at the Indian
Dealership.
We have all lost friends and family over the past many
years. This is our way of honoring those
who gave all while riding the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. The Challenge is unforgiving and we all know
that when we started that long ride, but it did not stop us nor did it stop
them. We will ride the Memorial Ride and
accept the risk associated with it because we know it is by this effort we pay
on a debt we can never repay.
Obviously this ride will not ease the pain felt by family
members nor will it fill the void created by their absence, but it is fitting
that we make this attempt to honor them the best way we know how and by doing
so we will rekindle the friendships lost.
Never forget.
Hoka Hey!!
