Meet The New Rider # 1122 Bradley Thomas

My mother always said, be careful what you wish for…
It was 2010,I had just rolled into Sturgis with a lifelong friend.
On the longest motorcycle ride Either of us had ever been on (1200 miles in about three days).
It was there that I saw a poster, and a man speaking about a half million in gold.
It was at that moment I told my buddy Dave, I wish that we could give that a try sometime,
Gee whiz, as Alaska kids, all we gotta do is get home.

Fast forward 11 years later, my wife and I had just finished a Coast to Coast in under 50 hours.
It was that evening at dinner that we met some Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge riders,                          and we all shared our tales from the road
Most of them thought that we were out of our minds for riding together that far…
That evening, on the way back to the hotel my wife said, I think you “found your tribe”
They speak your language.

Speaking of my tribe,
My lovely wife of 29 years  Vicki Vuarnet,Our daughter Sheena,
2 Newfoundlands and 2lynx

I volunteer with the Elks Lodge, Family kitchen, Veterans & Christmas Baskets

I am grateful for the opportunity to spread awareness
The charity I will be riding for is Mile Monsters Inc.
