My name is Matt Scott, Aka "Just Matt",
I am the owner and operator of Classic American Thunder Cycle in
Beloit, Ohio. I am a father of 2 beautiful girls and husband to my
wonderful most amazing and beautiful wife Melissa who holds down the
fort while I go riding and raising money for our local veterans and
friends at HOGS HELPING HEROES. I have always enjoyed long distance
traveling. For some reason my mind can wander while I put in the miles.
This will be my second Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. The first challenge in
2022 was a challenge to say the least. I had multiple break downs
including a broken valve guide in the engine, a broken swing arm, a bald
tire and multiple broken speedometer drives. Despite all of the issues I
had on the 2022 Hoka-Hey, I was still able to complete it within the 14
days. I have learned a lot since 2022. If I where to give one piece of
advice to a new rider, I would tell them to buy KLIM gear and get rid of
the bulk of leathers and rain gear. It has been a game changer for me.
This year my chosen charity is HOGS HELPING HEROES. These people at
HOGS HELPING HEROES are truly out helping Veterans. They help people
with everything from shoes, food, housing repairs, vehicle repairs,
transportation and much much more. I feel this is truly an important
thing for someone to do and am honored to ride for them!
A little about the H3 group: - H3 Mission Statement
No veteran rides alone.
We
stand beside veterans and their families when life hits
hardest—providing hands-on help, financial relief, and real community
that doesn’t vanish when the fundraiser ends.
Through outreach
rides, service projects, and open-hearted gatherings, we tackle the
everyday burdens that weigh heavy—while joining forces with local
champions to build bridges to housing, food security, mental health, and
brighter holidays for those who’ve served.
We ride, we rally,
we connect—because healing and hope should never be out of reach for
any hero. We’re in it for the long road, and we don’t back down.
I'm truly excited and ready to see what the 2026 Hoka Hey Challenge has in store for me this year! HOKA HEY!
