For a guy who has only been riding eight years Rene has been everywhere. He called his interest in riding a midlife crisis. Starting off road then on to street riding. He saw a banner in Reno, NV. that started his interest in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, but finding a rider who had gone from Argentina to Alaska and following him on social media add his interest in long distance riding. Gabe encouraged him to give the challenge a try so to prepare for it Rene rode from Argentina to Alaska himself.
He and his wife do a lot of iron butts, his first Harley was purchased in September 2010 and now has 461,000 miles on it. Since learning about the HHMC he has gotten on more secondary roads and camping for multiple days. Camping all the way from TX to AK. He is pretty confident about his success with the challenge and isn't planning on taking risks and take the extra time to be safe. He loves to try new things and for him it is an adventure.
He especially likes all he is learning about the core common desire to take on an adventure like this. The people who are doing the HHMC are the kind of riders that "as soon as you meet them you know you have something in common." He has met so many people out on the road he now calls family that when they are in his area they sleep at his house, eat at his table, as he did when he was on the road from Argentina.
