Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge 2026 – my second attempt! That old saying “You don’t know what you don’t know” is an absolute fact when considering the Hoka Hey. I assumed that time and distance would be similar to previous long-distance riding – was I wrong! Two days of pirouettes with hurricane Debby was an exciting start and by the time I made it to Arkansas it was clear that I would not have time to complete as planned (ride to and from Alaska and be back to work in 14 days). For 2026 – I’ve solved the work problem (retired 1 January 2026) and I do know more about the ride than I did in 2024. I still have a lot to learn but I’ll be better prepared on this attempt.
I’ve been riding motorcycles for fifty-five years. They have served as my main transportation and as my escape. There were periods when riding wasn’t as practical, but I’ve always had one, or more, in the garage. I’ve had the opportunity to see some beautiful, interesting places and some that I’d rather forget. As the years have passed, I’ve become ever more obsessed with the ride, with places I haven’t seen, and just getting lost in the wilderness.

My focus charity continues to be “The Wheels Through Time” located in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. They are a 501c3 not-for-profit museum, dedicated to preserving the most important parts of American motorcycle history and culture. “The Museum that Runs” offers an up-close, immersive experience in motorcycling history. Funds raised will support museum operations, restoration, and preservation of motorcycling history.
