Meet the Rider: Bob Stegeman # 794

Bob # 794 will be riding his second Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge this year. In 2013 he not only rode and finished he won the Super Glide Willie and Sally from Wolf's Run so generously gave away that year. He learned about the HHMC from a friend and the two of them looked it up on the internet and Bob decided "I gotta do this." He felt like he was at a crossroad in life and he wanted to see if he still had what it takes to do a ride like this.

Critters were everywhere out on the road and he and his fellow riders Sam and Kurt from Norway played dodge the critter until they took the advice of a local who told him "You better not go any further tonight, the wild life out there are nuts." Funeral parlor parking lots were the sleeping spot of choice for the three amigos and sleeping at a gas station in front of the pumps turned out to be a great alarm clock. Later into the ride Bob recalls Sam had a wreck but like the true Hoka Hey family he made sure he was safe before moving onto the finish line, where he won the new Harley, hmmmm sounds like his efforts where being rewarded. He feels riding with someone else is the way to ride the HHMC.
