Meet The Rider Billy Fultz # 736


 Always having his eye on the goal Billy Fultz saw the fruits of his efforts by crossing the finish line first in the 2018 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. Working his game and improving his approach each year after finishing 12th in 2012, 9th in 2013 and then third in 2014.  Will we see a repeat flawless run from him this year? Riding a stock 2016 Roadglide he shows up with minimal extras. When he stops to sleep he doesn't bother with a tent or hammock. Just a simple sleeping pad and that is it.

Moments alone crossing miles and miles of open land gives way to spiritual moments where Billy said he had and AH HA moment. He loves long distance endurance riding. Managing sleep to avoid the zoombie affect is important too. Being aware of the route in front of him Billy avoids navigation errors saving him miles and wasted hours. But weather is something you just have to take as it comes. Remembering a down pour he blazed through with fellow rider and Texan Terry Smith where they couldn't see the front tire is the kind of thing you just can't predict.

Billy will be raising support for the Gary Sinise Foundation who do great things veterans and first responders.
