When I’m not riding, l
enjoy going to the gym working out and maintaining my fitness. I also enjoy
visiting my 77 year old mother and hearing her tell me story’s about her yard
work adventures.
First and foremost to accept the challenge and
to see if l can ride with an Elite group of National motorcyclist from across
the country. Finishing the challenge in a top 10 or decent placing.
Realistically, finishing the event safety without damage to my motorcycle or
death to myself. The best advice I have been given, learn to read
directions, and know where you are at all times. Mistakes are costly. Also,
learn to sleep in the elements. I have to prepare myself mentally and
physically for this unusual and demanding motorcycle challenge. None the likes
l have ever taken.
I first heard about
the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge from Kenneth Andrews and Shareef Assadiq mentioned the challenge
to me. After doing some research on my own, l felt l was potentially the
caliber of rider to take and complete such a challenge. Not just any rider can take this challenge. I
love the fact that riders must have credentials and a resume in order to be
considered for this challenge, it truly brings a level of credibility to the
HHMC and to the title of “Elite” Riders.
As an active member of The A.E.A.O.N.M.S.
Prince Hall Shriners we have pledged to donate to the American Diabetes
Association to support the Live Empowered®/African American educational
initiative and study with the Association's Research Foundation grant program,
both focused on helping African Americans better understand and manage their
type 2 diabetes. And as an honorably retired service member, I will also be
donating a portion to the Motorcycle Relief Project (MRP), aimed at
providing relief to military members and first responders with PTSD.
