Anybody here heard of the HOKA HEY Challenge? "Hoka Hey" is a Lakota phrase meaning "it is a good day to die" and was the battle cry used by Crazy Horse and his warriors
The 1st one was held last 20JUN-04JUL2010, started from Key West, Florida and ended in Homer, Alaska (with a swing thru Canada). Limited to the 1st 1000 to sign up, around 700-800 actually raced but only around 250 completed the race (one sadly died trying). More info here: Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "hard core" riders here know these too well but take a gander at some of the rules below:
1. you do not know the exact route in advance, you get maps for each leg only at checkpoints. BTW, No GPS!
2. cannot sleep INDOORS (no motels/hotels, etc.), camp outdoors only
3. mostly on secondary roads (highways to a minimum)
4. no auxillary fuel tanks allowed
5. the winner must then pass a drug test/polygraph to ensure no rules were violated
6. motorcycle must be an air-cooled V-Twin (this one's for the Harley Haters/Bashers here)
Another one will be done in 2011, slated to run from San Diego to Nova Scotia and this time, the winner gets a cool $1,000,000.
Maybe PASHNIT can organize one for BUSAs only?
CAPTAIN, this would be the MAN TRIP of a lifetime! sleepless red, this one's for you buddy

you sign and agree to. The Legal Liability issue is really tough in most states where rallys are held on PUBLIC ROADS. You speed and cause an accident, the organizers WILL BE SUED ! That's why the IBA takes you Drivers Lic./ Insurance Card and seals them in an envelope. If the seal is broken, YOUR DISQUALIFIED - PERIOD (*Unless you get an Officer to write a statement (or sign one you write) saying you were stoped at a Lic or Insurance Check Point) ! Why, well what does the LEO's ask for first when your stopped ! Infact, Texas was going to get so tough, they were going to pass a bill that would make IBA type rallys ILLEGAL ! So, I'am sure you need to READ the rules FIRST before you think about setting the road on Fire
