Beside riding motorcycles Kevin likes restoring old cars and is currently working on a 1929 model A Sport Coop hot rod. The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge was a ride he found while searching for long distance rides. In the begin the 14 day challenge was what attracted him but after meeting some of the riders and learned about the passion and camaraderie they had for the challenge he decided "Okay I really have to do this ride." He really likes the fact that the finish is really all there is to gain in the challenge, no prizes.Preparing for the challenge for Kevin is a lot more of what he has been doing except sleeping next to the bike. The idea of not taking a shower for so many days will be a struggle. The comfort level will be different and help with that spiritual part of the journey.
For Pete's Sakeis the nonprofit Kevin will be supporting. They send families of someone with cancer on a vacation to try and help them through those tough times. Working with this group has taught Kevin that "life is short even in the worst of times you need to find ways to get through it."
