You'll Have To Wailt 'Til Sturgis...

Hoka Hey: Check's in the mail?

KTUU, Anchorage television, reveals organizers of the now famous Hoka-Hey MC challenge, say the $500,000 of prize money will be awarded to a confirmed winner during the Sturgis run, this August, that controversy is what makes an event famous, and conceed this one certainly has a lot of that.

What drug test?


According to KTUU, some bikers say that not only was there no drug test, but when they rolled into town, no one was around to check them in! It's been over a week since the first two riders to arrive, simultaneously, crossed the Homer, Alaska finish line, for a total of 190 hours of saddle time.

Mishaps:


One biker went down in Wyoming, another, a Florida native, crashed in Alaska. Injuries were reported by others along the route. As much as it hurts to lose those we love, riding is about fun, adventure, and occasionally taking chances.

One of ABM's affiliates, (and likely more), know of bikers who participated in this 7,000-something mile run. Two of the bros returned to Ohio, and were treated to a giant party yesterday evening. Props to these two dudes, and all who had the necessary stones to get off the couch and accomplish something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Come Sturgis, in August, will we finally get to know who can legally lay claim to $500,000?

That's a little over $71.00 per mile. Hefty gas allowance!
