Kibles N Bitz Moto Tours

10/02/2024

ITS OFFICIAL!!!!!! My route has been verified and my Elite Finisher status for the 2024 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is official. It was an amazing ride and an even better experience. More important than how much fun I had is that I was able to raise right at $9,000 for FISH - Friends In Service of Heroes to stock food pantries on local military installations.

Took a break from catching up on work emails to check out my fleet tracker stats from the trip. Looks like the fleet tracker logged 9,479.92 miles with an average daily mileage of 861. My longest day was 1144.12 miles on Day 7 followed by a 1,018.64 mile day on Day 8. My shortest day was on Day 4 with only 554.53 miles but that also included 8 hours of waiting due to a bent rim on Robert Osley Saunooke bike. Was it all worth it? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Many of you have noticed that I got a new riding jacket. Fatigue and mental mistakes are real things in a ride like this, and expensive riding gear does not mix with hot exhaust pipes. Klim stepped up big time with a huge discount and arranging expedited processing and overnight shipping for me to replace this but even at that it still cost me $900. Most of y’all care enough about me that if I was to ask for help to replace this important safety gear you would sacrifice something to step up and help me. Well I’m asking for help, not for myself but for the 24% of our service members who have concerns about where the food is going to come from. These men and women care about you in this country so much that they wrote a blank check for any amount up to an including their life. now they worry about where their or their families next to meal is going to come from. What will you sacrifice to show up for them? A cup of coffee from Starbucks? Starbucks for a week? Next beer at the bar? Any amount helps please donate now.

14 Days and a wake-up till I head to Florida for the start of the most Epic motorcycle ride I can imagine, the 2024 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. This ride will take me from Florida to Alaska across scenic backroads enduring massive temperature changes and everything Mother Nature has to offer as I sleep under the stars every night. It takes a special kind of crazy to do this ride, let alone look forward to it, but to me it’s a small price to pay to bring attention to the service men and women in our military that are facing food insecurities. Help me get them some relief and DONATE NOW to stock food pantries on military installations in’s KS and MO.
