Having ridden all of the challenges the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge
has put before Jim Herold he has had the opportunity to experience a
lot of amazing places. When not riding, the relaxing beauty of the
Edisto river in South Carolina and gracious mountain beauty of the
Smokey mountains in Tennessee are where Jim and his lovely wife Janet
like to spend time. His local Harley dealership is where he heard about
the event. This year the focus will be more on a finish then to "win"
the challenge. I'm 75 years old and I started riding off road and have ridden 49
states 3 plus times, all the Provinces of Canada 2 plus times (except 1 and I haven't been able to find any roads to it). I also have
ridden to Alaska
5 times. I feel age holds me back more than anything.
The original $500k prize in 2010 was what attracted him to the starting line. But now its family. The annual gatherings for tacos and cheeseburgers and just friends hanging out. Riding a 1000 miles for lunch. That is the Hoka Hey.
He will be riding to support Pine Ridge Area Chamber of Commerce scholarship program. When making donation please make notation in notes you are supporting Jim!
