Meet The New Rider # 1280 Steven Ward

 


Hi, I’m 61 years old and motorcycling has been a big part of my life,from motocross as a kid, ADV riding, and road racing CCS/WERA on tracks such as Daytona, Road Atlanta, Homestead-Miami, etc. As I’ve gotten older, it’s been all about distance riding where the road stretches long and the noise of the world fades into the sound of the bike. From coastal highways, deserts, mountain switchbacks and passes to our Carolina man backroads, every mile counts—speed, wind in my face, throttle in my hand, and freedom in between. Riding isn’t just something I do—it’s how I reset, refocus, and reconnect. Fortunately my lady, Michelle Davidson (who road named me “Hottie”) rides like I do and is a Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge  participant too.

 


Although my  life runs on two-wheel therapy and good company, I’ll try anything adventurous. I took a trip to dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, jumped out of an airplane and if you have any fun ideas I’ll try them too. I love to live life and  I’m always looking forward to climbing on a bike. 


 

My Hoka Hey journey began when Michelle Davidson introduced me to it. I was amazed with the endurance challenge attributes plus the fact it benefits charity. Kory Wilson helped me with registering, which was quite the challenge when it first opened for 2026. I’m really excited and am blessed to be a participant.

 


I really look forward to riding for the kids benefitting from Mile Monsters charity. It was a no brainer choosing this charity for this event. The Mile Monsters provides support for a group of heroic boys living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an incurable disease that gradually takes away their ability to stand, walk, and participate in many of the things every child should experience. The organization helps raise funds to support these boys and their families, offset medical and life expenses, and provide opportunities for them to experience adventures and joy despite the challenges they face every day.
