Meet The Returning Rider # 1088 Michelle Feddersen

 

I'm Shell... a mother of 2, a "Cool" Grandma of 4, an awesome Sister to my siblings, and the best Auntie ever to my nephew. I have the mouth of a sailor but wear my heart on my sleeve...shhh.

Most know me by #1088 Rider of Dick nowadays..Who knew people would have so much fun with the name of a motorcycle!? 

 

 

Dick is a 2021 Indian Challenger Darkhorse.I bought him brand new in April 2022, in anticipation of riding my first Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge three months later. The route was fantastic, the weather was good, and the finish was a success! ...other than Dick taking a couple of naps along the way! The HHMC22 will always be special to me. Our theme was KIKSUYA meaning Remember. Quite a few inner self, personal battles were fought during this challenge.

 

 

HHMC24 ... I wasn't going to miss the chance to run this, as it was very similar to the first challenge and who doesn't want to ride Canada and Alaska? Now, had the weather been predicted much sooner, I may have opted out of riding through a hurricane! But hey, I accepted the challenge and became the first female to ever finish the HHMC in the Top 5. 

Since the last run was so fun, I've taken up the challenge once again in hopes of finishing in 14 days so I can have a drink with all the cool kids at the after party. Ya know, the challenges don't get easier. Each one presents its own challenges and so does your mind, body, motorcycle and road. You can prepare and train everything to perfection but once you are out there going through the lines of directions, watching every road sign, protecting yourself from the general public drivers and animals, and enduring weather and road conditions.... you'll realize... some things you just were not prepared for. Keep pushing. Keep Challenging yourself! You'll be glad you did when you're standing on that finish line. HOKA HEY!!
