I have been riding
since my teens that makes 45+ years and over a million Harley miles on
eight different bikes from Sportsters to Road Glide and FLH FX variants and I'm from Rhode Island.
I
entered the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge 2020 and it will be my seventh running of the
Challenge. I'm looking forward to this year's ride. I see that we have
many returning rider as well as new ones. The Challenge always proves to
bring me to another level of riding. Whether it is physical. mental or
mechanical. I plan to ride my 2007 Roadking that will have close to
250,000 miles at the start line. This RoadKing has brought me to every
one of the 48 contiguous states at least 3-4 times and once to Alaska
in 2010.
I got to see some awesome scenery of
our Country as well as Canada. Had some fun and funny times. one of my
favorite stories to tell was from 2011. It was somewhere in the coal
belt of VA or KY early in the O dark 30 hours and I needed some sleep. I
found a closed gas station, parked the Roadking behind it, rolled
myself up in my blue tarp and slept, till someone was kicking my feet
proclaiming "Sheriff's Office you alive?" After we exchanged
pleasantries and inspected my paperwork he said that they got a call
that there is a dead body rolled up in a blue tarp on the side of the
road! and the Deputy told me that they take those calls "Kinda seriously
around here". We had a good chuckle over it, so I gave him the web site
and how he can track me as well as other riders that will be passing
through.
This year as in the past I will be in
part sponsored by Ocean State Harley Davidson, Exeter RI, I thank them
for their support, generosity and enthusiasm.
