Meet The New Rider # 1164 Terri Collier


 Howdy Riders, Hoka Hey fans, supporters and anyone who enjoys an adventure:
T Collier here. I’m also known by “Where We Riding T?” This idea started about 15
years ago when I published a motorcycle magazine and was riding somewhere daily
covering events and more. People constantly ask where I was riding next. The BIG
answer to that today is, "I don't know" as the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge will plan
the route for my next big journey. I will have my bike, gear and self on the start line in
Daytona, FL in August. I'm going to be a participant for the first time after stalking the
Hoka Hey since before their first run. With no knowledge of them, I met the founders
many years ago as they were promoting their first ride at the Sturgis Bike Rally. At that
time, I thought I'd love to do that, but who can take off the time or afford it? FINALLY,
I've got the answers to these questions and I'm riding the 10th Hoka Hey Challenge! I'll
be riding my 2023 Orange Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special as Rider #1164. My
ride will be powered by sponsors Forman Harley-Davidson, My Biker Attorney, Santa Fe
Customs, Dunsworth Machine and several personal supporters.


I've ridden motorcycles since I was 2 on daddy's gas tank, until he gave me my mini
bike at 5. Funny thing about being a lady rider for 50 some years is that it's all very
different today from what it has been through those decades. I've worked diligently to
bring many lady riders out of their shell, riding without their male counterparts, using
their bikes as a daily driver and, best of all, supplying a means for women riders to
come together in a safe environment through multi-state group rides and events.


I'm thrilled to be setting out on this spiritual journey that I know the Hoka Hey Motorcycle
Challenge will be for me. I love to ride; see the country; meet new ride friends; rough it;
conquer challenges; read maps and spend time getting right with the world around me.
Most of all I love helping others and am already enjoying the fundraising efforts I'm
doing for my charity of choice, Kickin' Childhood Hunger. This 501C3 organization
raises funds to be used for children's weekend food sacks in the central Oklahoma area
where I live. Without these food sacks, hundreds of children would go hungry on the
weekends away from the food sources given to them at their school. I'm raising $75,000
which will buy 10,000 food sacks. A food sack a mile is my goal! That should be plenty
of motivation to continue to go just one more mile!



I appreciate your reading my bio and considering a donation to Kickin' Childhood
Hunger. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to purchasing food sacks. If you'd
like to donate, please use this link Give Butter. Thank you in
advance for your support, prayers and cheering me to the finish line. Follow my
fundraising and ride progress on Facebook and Instagram at #WhereWeRidingT.
Until you see me on the road, enjoy your ride!
T Collier,
@WhereWeRidingT
Rider #1164
