Speaker 2 (08:40):
You.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You lived your life and set yourself up in such
a way that in your retirement you can But it
wasn't just your retirement. You were doing this when you
were still in the Navy. But you have set yourself
up now you just just roll, my bro, you just
roll out here.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I try.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
What can you just tell us about some of the
big rides You've done, the Hoka Hayes and things like that.
You've even trained people to do the Hoka Hayes.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, so iron butt. I was big on iron butt rides.
Are still am big on iron butt rides when I
started them. What is an iron butt ride? For people
that don't know, so, iron Butter is association. It's called
Iron Bud Association. And the smallest ride that they was

(09:32):
certified one thousand miles and twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I didn't know what it was. And back then when
I came from Japan, two young ladies.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Out in California like, oh, he hadn't done iron butt,
So I asked him what it was, and I knew
their government name, so I looked it up, and then
I looked at their names and found out they hadn't
done one either. So in twenty thirteen, the club I
was in was I lived in Sandy, they were Indianapolis.
They were having a party and me and my VP
and that club made our first cross country trip to Indianapolis.

(10:09):
We did two Irombu rides, a bum burner which is
fifty hundred miles and thirty six hours in the saddles
for one thousand and At that point I was hooked.
Now I have one hundred and five certified rides. I'm
at the Diamond level, which is only like nineteen people
in the world have reached the diamond level.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
For IBA, you're one percenter of the ibas. Yeah, suretting
them diamonds down.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And then they have a bunch of plethoro rides.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's forty eight station ten days.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Kate Solo and I were the first two to do
this ride called the Ride around the forty eight to
cent a Goal. We had to ride around the outskirts
of of America to all the points and you had
to do one thousand miles in every corner. They came
out that ride in twenty one and we did twelve
two hundred miles in ten days.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
To be the first to do that ride.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
We also had a third with this my brother Big Day,
but he had bike problems in Michigan, so the Hupa
Hay family came out, got his bike fixed, and then
escorted him the rest away, so he still finished that
ride on the twenty days, which is done many days
they were allotted. I've done the SCMA myself and K
Solo separately, but we both did the same year. We've

(11:24):
done the SCMA the Southern California Motorcycle Association in Grand Slam,
and that's when you do every ride that they have,
which at the time it was seven rides that they have.
We did that last year. We were again it's a
short list. It's only thirteen people that have done one
since it started a long time ago. We done the

(11:50):
ironbut Rally. I've done it twice, twenty three and twenty five.
Solo done it in twenty three, the first couple of
black folks to do the Hokay Hey with So Solo
won the ok Hey It was a chap one year.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wow, he wanted, he wanted, and then.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, a lot of the a lot of all the
big organizations. We're on a lot of short lists with
the big organizations. We ride a little bit.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
So can you just for just a moment for folks
that don't know, can you explain the arduous nature of
the hokah Hey run. Yeah, So the Okay, hey is.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You can't finish no faster than ten days. You can't
get any speeding tickets, you have to sleep outside with
your motorcycle.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
You can't use any lect tron of navigation.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
They use these, uh for lack of better words, I'm
wanna say, turn by turn directions. But they're not like
you go to map quest for Google and print out
uh the directions. They they are designed to be complicated.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
So it's a ride that takes at least ten days
to finish.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You cannot finish if you if you have to come
across or get to the finish line before ten days,
you're camping out until the finish line opens. But the
way it's set up, you're not you're it's ninety five
percent of it it's all secondary roads and then the
other five percent or so that's not secondary roads or
connect the roads. So it's really not designed for you

(13:28):
to finish in ten days or less.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
We got some guy here that says much respected. One
leg back from Sturgis this year, alitude under New Jersey
and fifty miles and eighteen hours. It put me in
bed for three days. Much respect. Wow.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, so it's different even even IVR like this year's IBr.
I did nine and eighty nine miles and the eleven days,
but all of that was back roads, Like it's not.
Everybody don't understand, like, yeah, I did. I can do
an iron butt rodock, that's great, but when you have
to go, and you have to go, so i'd be

(14:05):
Our Iron Butt Rally is a eleven day, eleven thousand
mile rally, and it's a big scavenger hunt and you're
and then there's times you have to sleep. There's times
you have to eat, so you're not just riding NonStop
and then get to sleep. That's not how it works.
So anybody can do it for a day. A lot

(14:25):
of people can do it for two days. But talk
to me on day eight, nine, ten, eleven, and then
it was easy.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Everybody would do it. So you're sleeping outside, you might
see bears or something or.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Iron Butt Rally.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
You can sleep wherever you want.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
You can you can iron butt hotel it or you
can sleep in hotels or whatever the case may be.
Hoka hey, Hoka hey is outside.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
You're sleeping outside with your motorcycle.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
So and you're up in places like are you do
you go to Canada on the hookah Hey, Hoka Hey,
just went to Alaska. They start off with the hurricane.
They went to the hurricane twice. When they were going
to key West, they went through their hurricane. Then when
they came out of key West, they called the hurricane again.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
And even with that last that last Okay was the
first hoka head that nobody has died in a long time.
So that was a blessing and uh a testament to
the quality.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Of riders that ride the hokahay so so so they
normally have one or two or some people that die
every year on that thing.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, they were averaging, uh, a little more than one
and a half. That's per hokay Hey.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh my god, I don't want mike. It's not death.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
It's not like when people say, and I've heard it myself,
and people say, oh, I can do the ok I
can do the hok Until they really buckle down and
hear from people like Reef K. Solo or anybody else
has done the hoka Hey and really realize what that
ride will take, then you know they'll humble themselves pryfully,
they'll help themselves.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
You know, it's one thing like you can you go
out all you want and say, oh, I'm gonna take
me a ten and I'm gonna camp out and I'm
gonna practice, and it's not right, not the same.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I want to thank Papa Penguin for gifting five memberships. Man.
We appreciate that, all right. So what happens when someone
gifts a membership, it automatically is given to somebody. So
somebody that's watching today will get a gift membership. Thank
you very much for that, keeping us moving. Appreciate that,
Papa Penguin.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
I want to go back to something he said, because
he's skirted by it real quickly. The s c m
a rise when he said, he does you know what
they have on the Grand Slam? You do all all
the rides that there's four rides, although within those four
rides are not just it's not four rides. It's not
just four rides or five rides. It's it's because you
have one. You have to do all these, all the

(16:46):
all the roles. I'll let you explain it, because you
explain it to me.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
The Grand Slam, I mean, yea Grand Slam. You have
to do u the four corners, either the regular four
corners or Truett's. You have to do the fifteen Best
Roads of America. You have to do the Great Lake
Capit Trail, you have to do the Three Flag Classic,
which takes you from Canada Mexico and it's either two

(17:12):
thousand miles or twenty five hundred miles. You have to
do the route sixty six east and west side. Each
side is one one and thirty nine miles. And then
you have to do the California Venture Series, which consists
of California's fifteen Best Roads, the National Park Tour California,

(17:33):
and the California Mission. So you have to do all
that within the calendar year. So when I did it,
because of where I stay and how I did it,
I got caught in a blizzard on Route forty headed
out there. And then for the year for just for
the California I mean just for the SMA riding. That year,

(17:54):
I did forty four thousand miles to complete the Grand
Slam and eighteenth and those milesers too up with Joye
on the back.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah. So your wife, my wife, Yes, So we have
a question regarding the ten k ride in ten days.
When do you have time or how do you get
an aill change after five thousand miles of writing.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Uh so me personally, I'm on the Indian and once
I get a service done before unless I need new tires,
I won't. If it's just a tenth douts of my ride,
I won't go back for service until I'm done, unless
something dictates I need to go in for service.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
The Wholka Haye normally has Indian, of course, because you're
on an Indian.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
I noticed how you said that, I mean, let me finish.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
The hulking Hate normally is set up where at the
checkpoints they are Harley dealers, so the Harley guys can
get auto maintenance they want, and they will. The dealers
are normally pretty good. If there's something wrong with my bike,
they will they will get it right just so I
can keep going and get back on the road, So
they do a bangup job. And then and they also

(19:01):
because there's only American bikes in the Jokah hey, they
would sell you where the closest Indian dealer is. But
the problem is that is you typically don't know where
you're going because you don't know the route until you
get the route, so you can't like really schedule maintenance
in events or whatever the case might be.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
These these are badass rides, my man. Yeah yeah. When
he was talking about that cost, talked about how much stake.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry to cut you off. Preacher does
a cost to ride the hookah Hey.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
I believe the current registration for the hookah Hey for
the ride itself is up to maybe a thousand dollars.
And then that's not so you sleep outside, so you
think it's cheap, it was really not because again you're
on secondary road, so you're eating out of gas stations normally.
And then at the beginning you have to be there
early to get your bike checked and all these safety

(19:55):
breasts and everything else. So you're normally in the hotel
for four or five days before the Hoka Hate start.
And then at the finish depend on excoose me where
the finish is. You're normally in somebody's hotel, but a
lot of people still opt to camp out or sit
next to their bike at the finish, so depend on
where it is. And then the iv R is close

(20:19):
to twenty five hundred dollars for entry fee, and then
they normally stay at Marriott's and hotels of that nature
for the checkpoints.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
So the last one, last one, we were at Hold
on twenty five hundred dollars entry fee. Yes, sir, yes,
sir au for the privilege of riding my motorcycle in
the war.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Right, So here's the deal dragon. When I was in
active duty the Navy and I heard that, I was like, oh,
I never pay that. But now I've done it two
years in a row, and I'm looking forward to doing
it the third time because now I see. Now i'd
be like, yo, why is it so cheap? After doing
it and see what all that they go through, and
what all how how well organized they are, and how

(21:03):
much work goes into them, I'm like that ain't enough.
It's not enough. But before I've done one, I was
the same way as you would twet five that ain't
gonna take a gas is not now, mind you. The
first one idea was in Pennsylvania. I'm fifteen hundred miles
from from my house to the hotel, the host hotel
in Pennsylvania, so I had to do a bumburn of
gold fifty hundred miles twenty four hours to get there,

(21:25):
or take more than one day to get there. And
then you ride when you get there, no, you might
be tired. I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
You might be tired, but no, I wasn't tired.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
A lot of people that's what we did.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I wouldn't have been tired at all. So and then
you turn around and.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
You know you got to you go through the check
in process, which this year's process under Paul Thongs, who
did a bang up job. It was a easier trend
of the easiest check in process that didn't take days.
You showed up on a Saturday and everything was done
by Sunday, and then Monday started to rally. So but
then again, there's other things you need for some of

(22:11):
these the woka. Hey, you can't take extra gas. You can't.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
You can't have none of that stuff. The iron Butt rally.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Everybody got OFX tanks, which is more expensive. They got
two three different GPS systems. They got satellite trackers. Some
people got sellite phones because you're in places that you
may not have service.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
They're not cheap. It's not cheap to do all this
sell so much plans but the ain't even funny. Satellite
phones are very expensive.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
They are, they are, but but considering you have to
have a signal to upload your your checkpoints. It's sometimes
it's worth the you know, it's crazy you spend all
this money to go do a ride and then you
you you don't finish because your your pictures didn't load
up or you didn't have that.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
So right, well, I was I was showing, I was
showing the pictures of the moto got all that. He said, logic,
let's do it.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Who is counting down to pound? Is that someone else?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, sir, he's one of the He was one of
my role captains for this year's Right to Eat, which.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Is we came on talking about just a minute. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I see in the background. Country You'll be on in
just a minute. Okay, keep going, guys, you sure, yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:21):
And then like the Grand Slam for the year I
did the Grand Slam for the SCMA, I believe all
the rides together was I don't know, fourteen hundred and
ten now, just to register for the rides, and then
of course the field going out riding forty four thousand
miles and staying in hotels. I didn't only do the

(23:45):
Grand Slam that year. I did some other things, but
I was in hotels for I want to say, two
hundred and forty something days that year away from home
in hotels or resorts for two hundred and forty some days.
So of course there's cost with that.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
So two hundred and forty days at a minimum of
one hundred and fifty dollars a night right for most people.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
So there's there's ways I used to all set that,
but it you know, it's still costs.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, it's still cost Yeah, you got to be a
retired senior chief for the United States Navy to do
some ship like that.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
It ain't just gonna retire. Man. It went for my
wife being savvy with a lot of things I wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Yeah, I well see, and you know when that when
I heard people when I started riding and start doing
these long distance rides, people say told me, logic, get
get a card for all the hotels and start building
up your points because points help. Now I'm not you
know a lot of things like that. I got gas cards,
those points help. They REEF just sent me that one

(24:50):
app to help me with with gas and everything when
we when we get out on ride, you you do
what you have to do to do your to do
these rides because they're not they're not cheap even though
I was showing my documentation, I got two IBA rides
sitting right here. I haven't even sent the paperworking yet,
you know, so.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
But I didn't. I didn't know you as a rider
like that, my bro.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
I learned from this guy right here on the screen. Man.
I mean, you know people and other people.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I used to think that I was a big time
rider until I met folks like y'all. So for me,
most of my riding was club riding. And you know,
we ride from you know, we have chapters across the country,
so we ride, but basically it's highway riding in a pack,
going back and forth. You think you're doing something to
you hear about a guy riding a hunk of hey
sleeping out by his motorcycle near bears and tigers and

(25:44):
shit and uh my, and and sleeping next to moose.
Moose will kill you quicker than the damn bear will.
So this kind that these guys are like, this is
real outdoor long disc thence myself and the bike challenging.

(26:04):
You're definitely not on the super slab for sure, Noah,
and he showed me. They showed me last time we
interviewed those ladies. They showed me a series of cutbacks.
I don't know what the hell they're called, this series
of cutbacks switchbacks. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
With these increasing distal radio turns, you you like motive,
people fall off of that and die and like you
almost it's like a dirt road, like you can't even
ride it at night, that kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
What about the do Gie the Monkey Do.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Way.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, there's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
So so again, Eric, it's a great riding out there,
and a lot of riding that people miss is the
National Parks. Man.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
If you if you do like some of the s
C m A rides or even the.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
National Parks for the I B A, if you go
into the parks and you ride the roads in there,
you will be amazed and you'll be like, man, so
you know on the black side, I'm a ground pound.
Until you get off the road and you get to them,
like we go to the National Parks and you go
ride going to the.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And all these other roads, You'll be like, Wow, yeah,
black big sel who always screams I'm the greatest rider
or whatever existed. I probably out right every bro. You
ain't been on no rides, man, just just you ain't
been Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a big difference riding you know, teen twenty ninety five,
seventy five, eight ninety then then going to these back
roads and state parks, national parks and riding the roads
there and.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
Getting lost in cornfields like I've done.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, what were you riding in the cornfield for?

Speaker 6 (27:45):
I took a detour trying to get try.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
My first forty eight trying to get to a ride
to eat.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
I took a detour and I was in and it
took me down this freaking cornfield the drops in trying
to get to a right to eat.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, my first forty and tens and I did like
forty miles on the dirt road and the connecting this
is from Wisconsin to somewhere else because it was a
shorter route, which was a lot of secondary roads for
a time, and I did not know. I literally turned
and went from went from a road to gravel and

(28:18):
I slid and almost crashed in the cornfield.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm glad we caught that during the day and that at.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Night, but it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
So you've written with highway smiley, that.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Was my Ryan part of man highway smiling, and I
probably got I don't know one hundred and fifty two
hundred thousand miles together. Solo and I have a couple
hundred thousand miles together easily. So my first Ryan partner
that was active, dude Nay, just retired. So we did
my first cross country ride with him and a couple
other big rides, and then he left, and then Highway

(28:51):
Smiling and I started riding together. By chance.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I was doing a ride.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I was doing the fifty cc fifty hours coast to coast,
and that's how I made Highway Smiley. So we did
that fifty cc together, and then I did the forty
eight State ride and he came and rode the forty
eight state ride with me, and then he created that PAT.
So back in the day when everybody was run around,
I'm gonna do forty and ten, his PATS was started.

(29:15):
But it was it was our ride that got that
trend going and people are still on it, which is
good because I purposely set out to do certain things
and it achieved them all. So it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
So Modigato asked you, have you considered doing the one
hundred thousand mile ride in one hundred days.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I would never do that, you said, One hundred thousand
miles and one hundred days.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, my man Chris Hopper was the first one to
do that.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Somebody did that. Yeah, and then recently my man Pat Cornell.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Again, all these are my hunka hate family.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
He just did a one hundred forty five thousand miles
and one hundred and forty five days.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
He's still going to isn't he? No, he's done, he's done.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
He stopped a one hundred and he broke his collar
bone doing that ride, and he rode the lad from
eighty seven on. He was riding with a broken collar bone.
But he just did one.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Hundred and forty miles, one hundred and forty five days all.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
And break his collar He hit a he had he
hit a pothole and needed a tire, and uh, he
put the bike on the tow truck. And he put
the bike on the tow truck and his helmet got
lost into the steering column and hold him in. The
bike fell and basically the bike fell on him and
he spent a couple of days in the hospital, but
then he got up after hospital, got back on the bike,

(30:30):
made up the miles, and he finished at one hundred
and forty five thousand organ his book world record, mind you,
one hundred forty five thousand miles and one hundred and
forty five days.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
And he did it for.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
My Tonic Musclar District fee to raise money and awareness
for that. Oh man, that is that is just amazing.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Hey, Cordell old Man.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Look him up, look him up, and he still called
in his charity. Great guy, great guy.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
All right? Oh my goodness. Okay, uh so what else?
What up?

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Let me say something. I know you got, I know
you want to get you want to get to that
first Moji?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah? Is it true? Hey? First of all, I thank
you for the donation, Moji. I appreciate that. Is it true?
A lot of club members find a different meaning in
life after completing the hokah, Hey, I have heard of
Club Brothers one percenters especially leaving the life after starting
and completing these riots. Can you expand if that's true
or not. That's a great question.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Many The only thing I can tell you is it's
not and it's not just okay, it's it's any of
these organizations. To be honest with you, the brotherhood and
the family feeling that you get when you go to
an ib a function when you go to the hokah Hey,
it's totally different. If you look at my news feed

(33:02):
or in Solo's news feed when we're on the road
doing big ride, okahy is coming out to meet us.
But people in our Ironbuck family, they're coming out on
the road to meet you. It's not hey, come by
my house. They're gonna they're gonna track you.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Because they know what they're doing, and they're gonna meet
you on the road.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
They're gonna buy you a take a gas, they're gonna
they're gonna fill up your get your hotel, they're gonna
fill your belly, and they're gonna ride a couple miles
and then they're gonna break off. They don't. You don't
ask them to, you don't want them to necessarily, but
they're gonna do that because that's what they do. So
people join clubs because always is I want to be part.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Of a family.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Well, you don't have to be part of a family
to be in these clubs. I mean to be in
these organizations. You you come and do it, and the
love is there. It don't when you start looking at
pictures of the of my my ride, the Reef and
case Solo's r T. We have every color there, every nationality. Uh,
it didn't matter what the political client was. We had

(33:56):
I think it was twelve people from Canada. Most Canadians
won't touch America right now, but these brothers and assistants
came down to our ride because of the love that
is shown. So you join the club because you want
that love and that feeling, but in reality, most of
the time you don't get it. And then you step
into the hookahy a rental, you step into the IVR
rndow or you start going on things like the Three

(34:18):
Flag Classic, and now somebody see you on the road
and they're calling you, Hey, you're you're buying me, or hey,
let me see you some money for gas? Hey, And
then you sit back you're like, man, my club brothers
didn't do this. Yeah, my club brothers didn't do this.
So why do I need to be in a club
that I'm getting love from people that's not Hey, man,
you're coming through my statement.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I'm gonna meet you and I'm gonna ride with you.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Is that okay? And then here they are like and
again you're not asking them to It's the love they
have for you, The love that they have for motorcycles,
which is what club life is supposed to be about.
So why the hell do I need your club if
I'm getting this and I'm not in the club. Have
you ever been in the club?

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, yeah, yes, I was at tooth Club. He ended
up as a one percent and in a badass.

Speaker 8 (35:08):
Okay, okay, I'm just you know, I just asked, you
gotta you don't know for sure, you asks just to
just to make.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Sure you know, Oh yeah, he's been there, done that.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
I say, I say this, and I know a lot
of people, a lot of people on the on the
on the stream, and everybody knows Case Solo and Reef
and and even black Dragon, people that I looked at
when I started, when I started riding, But like what
Reef just said, capitalize off that, I felt mad love
when I started riding cross country. I mean when I
people will contact Like we said, people will contact you.

(35:41):
If you're online and you just post hey man, I'm
out here riding, people will contact you. I remember doing
the ride to South Carolina and I stopped in Atlanta
and didn't let people know. Come to find out, these
people's out there was looking for me because they're used
to you. They okay, we know this, this this guy
out here riding. All of a sudden, he just stopped
post they would look for you Dragon.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Let me ask you a question. Do you think people
was really looking for logic?

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Why?

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Why? Why? I just knew that that would be something
that you will reply to.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
We're trying to.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
He's trying to say, people wasn't looking for me.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
That sounds like something fitting for Black Dragon to respond to.

Speaker 6 (36:29):
So I just this morning, preacher, I ain't. I ain't
worry about that because I know what happened.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
I don't have to lie. I don't have to lie.
But I was just capitalizing on what what what what?
Reef said that once you get when you start riding
with just riding and a lot of people that likes
to ride, and they follow you and they, you know,
like Reef can be somewhere in freaking Idaho, and then
you if you follow him, you following him, and all

(36:56):
a sudden you see him stop for any period of time,
you go to reach out and people all start and
ride out there. Hey man, you're good, you're good. You're good,
you're good. People do that when you go out and right,
I don't know. I don't know the club because I've
never been in the club, but I know this on
long this is riding in these extended riding family. When
you ride, I have people.

Speaker 8 (37:17):
That I agree because even when you get it, you
get any you get any person that has made a
name and not even the big name for themselves, but
just out here riding. They post that they're going to
be like, uh, let's just say coming through the Dallas area,
you'll get guys like Logs and get other people. They'll
meet them at at an exit and they'll ride so far.

(37:37):
You know, we've done it in Michigan. You know, you
get some guys that's coming there from Ohio. You'll get
people from Michigan that will go to the state line,
you know, meet them, pick them up and ride them
in so far. Or when they're leaving out, you know,
you get guys that you know that will take them
back to the state line just because they want to ride.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
They want to meet these guys.

Speaker 8 (37:57):
They see these guys doing stuff and they they just
want to show they love and fellowship.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Because of the writing.

Speaker 8 (38:03):
Club, no clubs, different clubs, different organizations. It's just at
that point, it's just the riding. You know, yeah, I
got a couple miles in. You remember that time we
met up with Loge again.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
We rolled. We did about one hundred miles before we
broke off.

Speaker 8 (38:17):
You know, that's something that they remember and they could
talk about down the road until they run into, you know,
one another again.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
You know I mentioned this, I had said this many times.
People have heard me say this before posted it. You know,
we always have, you know, our fans, our favorite actor,
our favorite singer and everything. I can't wait to meet
her and can't wait to meet him. When you get
into this community of writers, that's to me, at switches.
It switches like, man, I can't wait to meet so

(38:45):
and So I know she did this. I can't wait
to meet so and So I know he did this.
And then when you get to meet him. They just
as friendly and just as down to earth as anybody
anybody else is except for it. They just do it
a lot of miles ride and you gleaned from that. Oh,
we had a question. I'm gonna let Reef answer this.
What does hulka Hey actually mean?

Speaker 2 (39:08):
So Reeves just put a link in uh in the
chat so you can look it up, because it's right,
there's conversations about the Ride to Eat.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
And although we're talking about the other things, you can
look that up.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
So the link is there. I also just put the
S C m as on there, and I will also
put the I B A on there. And then you
got sergeants I T in the end, which is another
great movement to get people to ride. You start from
the ten in the ends, Jacksonville, the Santa Monica, and
you got a whole string of people that will come

(39:40):
out and meet you on the road, open up their
house to you. That networking thing is there again. It's
not about you doing the club, it's you doing these rides.
They're all great organizations and they're.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
The brotherhood. The sisterhood is true in all of them organizations.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
You ride to mentor home, you go and Mark got
you You and the War with the Mah you find

(40:24):
love and and and the people ride their motorcycles.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
All right, So let's move the conversation to the ride
to eat. Uh, tell us about this ride to eat?
And we've got a guest in the background. How did
it start? And what is it? Let you know, Yeah,

(40:49):
h the echo comes when we bring the screen on.
Let me do this all right, let me try now
is it that going? Now say something?

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Now?

Speaker 1 (41:04):
There you got that's better? Okay, So there's a loop
here in the sound. I can't We have to figure
that out later. Go ahead, So the.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Reak sos Rachi. This was our tenth year, but our
ninth ride because of COVID. So back in the day,
I lived in San Diego, Soloa to North Carolina and
we would get together and eat and and and then
go home often. So there was an organization called Have
Ryan Will Travel that we were part of, and we

(41:33):
used to pass out this patch to people. And the
patch was for the love of riding. If you had
the love a ride on, hold on, not to cut
you off. That patch was that's not a I've seen
that patch.

Speaker 8 (41:45):
So that patch was a patch for something that wasn't
a patch that people just like to say, and that
was bying.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
No, they weren't buying it.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
You got it. So Bingle Brown that was his saying,
he's in the club by the Kucky and as he uh,
he started and sick and things, we took his stand
and put on the patch and we so people will
remember him and the love for riding and then that
past has changed how you earn that past because they're
still out there.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
It's a whole Facebook group called have Ironweld Travel.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
You can go and join. But anyway, I had presented
the past to a couple of riders from from North
Calty came down to have breakfast with me in San Diego,
and then we were up in the bay and Secret
the cross country riders said if I saw a couple
of people with the patch on, and I said, did
you introduce yourself? Because I'm that kind of guy, And
she's like no, She's like, but it'd be nice if

(42:36):
he had something where everybody that had the pass could
come to. So Sol and I were getting ready to
meet at Driftwood in Driftwood, Texas, to go to Salt
Lake Barbecue.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Anyway, there's already something playing, so I called him up.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I said, yo, bro, what do you think about We
opened it up to other people, so it was less
than a month, but we put it out there.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I called some friends and.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
We had twenty two people showed up at the first
Rotiat and Driftwood, Texas. So obviously I'm not gonna ride
from San Diego to Texas and then back overnight, So
my wife and I and Paul Knight and Solo stayed
at the same I think Motels six in San Antonio
and then we rode the eighty miles to jiff Wood, Texas.

(43:22):
Twenty two people showed up. We had my club was
fewed back in the day, the Houru Black Pearls Tone
and his boys from his club from Philly, and then
we had Paul Knight came from Florida, a civilian, and
then we had one of my partners from from Dallas.

(43:43):
So after we ate, which this is how rochi is
supposed to be. You show up that day, you eat it,
take fish, cell some lives, you take gas home.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Well we went.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I decided to go to the Alamo, the Alamo and
the River Walk. So my brother top Cap was like, yo,
you're not I'm going with You're going, so him and
his wife and then Grady was like, yo, we're gonna
go too. So we post the pictures of that, and
then the twenty two people all called and said why
you didn't tell me, blah blah blah. So the next year.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
We didn't have a ride.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
More people showed up and they were like, yo, reef,
we don't get the ride with you. Okay, so we
don't have the money to ride, like y'all do whatever,
can we do a ride? Can we can we all
stay at the same place, because the second year we
did not all stay at the same place. We stayed
wherever you get fit in. So then I got in
the hotel business. So now I book if it was
one room. Now this year I'm booking three hotels for

(44:35):
our host hotels because we got that many people. And
then Friday there's a ride that's either historic or cynic
or both if possible. Friday Night Tune. In twenty one,
we started cooking. We were at a Stand of State
hotel and that went over real well. So now Friday
night and Saturday, we got people that that go. If

(44:56):
we don't have a vehicle because everybody rode, then we'll
rent a car and we'll go to Sam's or DJ's
and we'll spend a couple thousand dollars on food, and
then we go back to the hotel and everybody just volunteers.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
People volunteered to start cooking.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
We used to have a chef that came so he
was the first one that cooked, and now he hadn't
been since keep having babies. So now it's we do
the ride of Friday morning. A lot of people get
there Thursday. This year we had I think right over
one hundred bikes on our Friday ride, and then we
had four hundred, right around four hundred and fifty people

(45:33):
that we fed at Rights Barbecue. So it's just grown.
It's no.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
It's a no no bs. You don't spell.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
We smoke all throughout the parking lot. There's no lout,
there's no music, there's no burnouts. You can't wear your
colors if you we want to know you, We want
to know, we want to know about you, not not
bone to a killer. So if you can't go three
days without we're are your colors. It ain't the event
for you. If you can't, If you if you don't

(46:03):
like hugging, if you don't like people taking pictures of you,
just ain't the event for you period. If you if
you got to be loud and boisterous, and you definitely
definitely ain't the best rider in the crowd.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
So it ain't a place to come and brag about your.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Mouths or any of that. Just come listen, talk, meet
new people, and have good.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Time, all right. So I want to read this from
your page. What began as a simple idea to ride
and eat, which you were doing for years, Hey, meet
me somewhere to Eat, it has grown into a culturally
diverse mini rally that attracts motorcyclists from across the globe.
Hosted annually by Sheriff Sharif Acid I've never known how

(46:46):
to say your last name, ACIDQ Reef and K Solo
the rider, the unique event has become a most mustatant
experience on the motorcycle calendar. Set in Arkansas, the event
brings together riders of all backgrounds for a weekend filled
with fellowship, food and open road stories, learning opportunities where
novice riders break bread with seasoned, high mileage legends, shared

(47:10):
experiences that go beyond riding conversations, laughter stickers, and lifelong connections.
For many, including forty year riding veterans, the event has
been described as an eye opener, a rare chance to
engage with legendary riders in the atmosphere of mutual respect
and camaraderie. More than just a meetup, Reef and Case
Solo's Ride to Eat is a heartfelt celebration of motorcycling culture,

(47:35):
unity and mentorship. It's a place where memories are made,
new friendships are forged, and the spirit of the ride
is truly honored, highly recommended for anyone passionate about motorcycles,
people and shared journeys. That is hardcore.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Man. So what day is not based in Arkansas? Every
year we move to a different location. We started in Driftwood, Texas.
That was the first one. We came back to Driftwood
one year. We've been to don Seafood and Himming twice
and people still ask can we go back to Don's?

(48:13):
And we just did this one at Writes Barbecue and
they went, they were they were over the top.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Supporter of it. Nice and we will be back.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
To Rights Barbecue. This is gonna be a few years
before we make it back.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
So let's talk about We're going to introduce one of
our guests, brother by the name of Dre Hia Highway. Dre.
What's up?

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Man?

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Man?

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Thanks for being on the show.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
And man, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Hey? What's going on?

Speaker 5 (48:44):
Brother?

Speaker 1 (48:46):
So, uh, we've got to go through this together. So
now we got you on here, we're gonna be talking
about the ride specifically, So I got some pictures here
that that were sent to me by just just a
small amount. I don't even know what the hell, but
this was sent to me. Bye bye, Reef. Okay, so reef,

(49:07):
what is the Florida thing? For?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
What is Florida is where we're going in twenty twenty six.
So we normally announce the day that we actually do
the ride when we get to the restaurant after we
do our group picture. We normally tell everybody where we're
going to next year. But because I wanted to see
what our actual size was going to be, because we
I had a spot already set up for South pave
Thre Island, but it is not big enough. It only

(49:30):
holds two hundred people, so we had to cancel that
and we had to find someplace big enough. So in
twenty twenty six, October one through four, if we will
be in Golf Freeze Florida. Now, we don't stay where
we eat, so people that can't make it on Friday
will have a chance to ride some with Brief and
k Solo because for they make it a big deal

(49:51):
to ride with us. So we purposely don't stay where
we eat so we can have a little ride if
they can't make the Friday's ride. So we will be
staying somewhere in Pensacola. The location is to be determined
because I'm waiting on I'm waiting on proposals from a
couple of different hotel chains to provide a space. But

(50:11):
we will be somewhere in Pensacola. It's not going to
be a normally our long east ride has been eighty
miles from Driftwood, Texas to San Antonio, and we took
three hundred and four people in one pack all the
way up to eighty one, which was easier to do
because it's not the main road where like this year
we were in Arkansas where we were on to thirty

(50:35):
five and.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
That was not easy to do.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
So we split up the pack this time so as
we get bigger, the ride on Saturday will be closer
for safety reasons. So yeah, so we will be closer
to the restaurant this time.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
So this was the restaurant. You guys say that this year.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
This year we ate a Rights barbecue.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Yes, sir, Wow, I'm sure Rights was real pleased with y'all.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
They were they We weren't even I wasn't even back
to the hotel yet, which was only thirty miles and
I got a message from the manager that said it
was their best Saturday since they've been in business.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
And then he joined the lot. Well, he was on
a live podcast like I'm sad that y'all didn't come
back to Rits next year, and I'm like, we shan't
come next year.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
We will be back though, beautiful. Uh wow, Okay, so
are these people that attended that is?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
That is Janey and my wife Joyce and a bunch
of other people, all those people that pink shirt and
then we do pink and a white back drop for
a regular shirt, but pink breast cancer wareness, it's real popular.
I like to pink myself. This year, I wore a
white window.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
But yeah, I've known Jennie for geez in fifteen years
maybe and she is very, very prolific and she's in
the club right and she didn't work and nobody, nobody
is not a colored event.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
The only vest you would normally see it's hooking head
and some of my brothers don't don't wear those because
it's not a club vest. It's a challenge and people, again,
if you're new, if you've never been in my vent.
You're called a new booty. They say that again, say
that if you're new and you come to the ro

(52:24):
you are a new booty and you will be a
new booty until after. I'm not I'm not about to
go in. I'm not about to feed, and I'm not
about the feed. All that, okay, when you ask them,
when you when you ask to be watch the videos.

(52:44):
There's a whole video called new Budy on the page.
Watch it and you'll you'll learn a lot. How about that?
How about that? So again, if you can't, if you're
not open to to to be humble and enjoy yourself,
and you think, oh I can't because you're not what
we want at our event, and I like that. That's okay.
Everything ain't for everybody. So if you can't take being

(53:06):
card new booty for a couple of days, keep your
ands own home. Were okay with that? I promise you
we are okay with that.

Speaker 6 (53:13):
Well said, I'm not a new booty no more, no more.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
But you was for the weekend and being praised it
the whole weekend. I'm telling you, it's really a good time.
And you you you totally got to be there to
understand it. It is not we don't have we don't
have no loud pipe, comp We don't do none of
that other than riding from one location to the next
and maybe parking lot pipping by your bike. Because we

(53:40):
had so many people we can't fit in the hotel.
We really don't leave a hotel except on Friday. And
then our people that go get food. And then we
were in the driftdown this year and I didn't know
and I kind of didn't care, but so people had
to go get liquor from fifteen to twenty minutes away.
But other than that, most people won't leave. So most
people be like, oh, I'm not staying at the host.
And then after they come to and event, they were like, oh,

(54:00):
I want to be at the host because it's that
kind of atmosphere. And then we had Foth, my brother Joe,
Joe and Beverley the Tennessee to bring moonshine.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
They just giving the ship away.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Fox. She is making her famous drinking cautions. Everybody's feeling
good and love it on each other and it's it's
a different experience. But let's ask great, He'll tell you
what did you think drink.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
Yeah, yeah, right.

Speaker 9 (54:28):
He changed the way what Reef was talking about being
at the club and and everything. I stepped down as
president of my club and retired because about to eat
changed because of all the great people coming.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
But he's gone.

Speaker 9 (54:43):
Point it's it's just different with all the great riders.
I thought I was a rider until I win, and
they humbled me and changed the way I ride. But
I'm one of the people that bring the alcohol and
the singa is also so you know, you don't.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Have to go far the cigar.

Speaker 6 (55:00):
I didn't get a cigarette.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I took something from him and gave him away.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
He took a cigarette.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
I'm just playing. I have my own.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
You know.

Speaker 6 (55:08):
All you got to do is walk over there where
I'm at, right right, right right.

Speaker 9 (55:12):
But but roder heat is awesome. I mean, if you
you will be humbled if you think that you're that guy.
You know, and when you're it's just like college football
or basketball, when these high school kids go to college
and then they go to you think you're the joint
until you go there.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
So you just sit back and listen to the stories.

Speaker 9 (55:30):
The Reefing Solo changed the way I ride, and also
Reef uh, I am certified now, so there's fourteen people
on that list.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
I'm just I just want to you.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Know, that's a big certified for what Okay I was
talking about.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Damn sure you're a big writer now too.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
Let me say what what what?

Speaker 4 (56:07):
What drake?

Speaker 6 (56:08):
What dre said and capitalized more on what recess? Since
I since I go when you can sit there on
your bike and your group parking lot pimping, and you
have people walking around with drinks, if you drink or not,
they gotta ask you, They gotta His brother, I forget
his name. I hope if he's watching, I'm sorry for
getting it. He came around a little, a little little

(56:30):
packing and talk with us for a while. But he
had a whole bottle of whatever he had, had an
other handful of cups. And they're just walking around asking everybody, Hey,
do y'all want to drink? Do you want to drink?
Do you want It's not it was not just one person,
it was multiple people doing that. You don't get that
type of commariety and a lot of places when you
go out to the events when everybody I gotta bottle

(56:53):
anybody want to drink? You know what I'm saying. So
it was. It was just great. It's just a great
time all together.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Yeah, it's love. It's love us all right. Love.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
What's this picture of right here, reef. That's me and
my brothers. So at one point we were all in
the same club.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
But those are those are my brothers, and everybody loves
Hero and Crow because they're they're old school legends. We
also this year we had a we had mister Chopps.
Chops is an eighty one year old. He was the
oldest new booty at eighty one year old that rode
on two wheels. And he has already posted multiple times
in the group that he will be in Florida next year.

(57:31):
Eighty one years old, been riding. Great guy him, Hero
and Crow was hanging out and then uh Crow bar

Bro.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
That's crazy. Okay. This is you and the wife that
is uh and you're on the Indian here. That is
that's all. I want to own three of them. But yeah, now,
I remember when we were riding together out in San Diego,
you and I.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
You were on a.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Victory and there. You didn't have two hundred thousand miles
or something like that on it. It was close. Yeah,
it's cloth three hundred thousand miles on that bike, didn't you?

Speaker 4 (59:31):
No, it was.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
It was right under two D two hundred thousand miles
when I got an accident in Dusty Ass, Mississippi. My
twenty one Challenger is in the shop right now. It
has one hundred and seventy eight thousand miles on it.
That one is three months old. It has thirty one
thousand miles on it. And my road mass is sixteen
with about one hundred and seventy thousand miles on it.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Oh boy, okay, this is case solo. Look, that is
not case solo. That is country and retro. I'm sorry,
uh and retro? Yeah okay, And who is this? What's
going on here? That was one of the pre rip
b reefs. I don't know what day that was.

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
That was Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Yeah, I was about say, I'm guessing Satday because I
don't see a bunch of black shirts out there that Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
That was? That was Saturday because we got on our
black shirts. Yeah yeah, So what are you doing on
the pre ride brief? What are you telling folks.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Our road captain speech and tell them what to respect
and how we're kind of sort of gonna line up.
And then Pastor, he is our official pastor, he does
a prayer, and then Sol and I always say a
little a little thank you or something whatever, whatever we're
feeling out, we said, we tell the people on Saturday.

(01:00:50):
Basically what I what I said was, you know, everybody
talks about how nice the event is and how much's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Love is shown.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
And I told him, I told him that y'all are
the ones that make the event. Solo and I put
it together. And and to be honest, we we we
we always say even if nobody show up with me
and him and Paul and it's it's a successful event.
So it's getting bigger. It's which is good and it's bad.
It's hard to feed find a restaurant to feed this

(01:01:19):
many people without spending tons of money up front.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
But so far, so we've been successful in doing it.
And people like, where are you gonna be in five years?
I don't know, because.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
We played it year by year.

Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
I got, I got a question, and hold on, this
is just the hokah, hey, patch, this is what it
looks like that is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
And somebody asked what does it stand for?

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
And I'm not gonna talk about hooka hay all day
because this is a reefin case solo. But it's just
stands forward. Today is a good day to die.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
Oh okay, uh, let me let me ask, Let me
ask my question. This is about your art, and I
know I prehimp this, uh for our conversation yesterday. So
as as the ride to eat growth, we always want
were always inviting people to come to the RTE and
everything have a great time. How big is too big?

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
There's no such thing as too big per se. Hopefully
the growth will keep coming and spurts. So one of
my math people like, yo, Reeve, take take what you
I mean you had in times about one point five
and that's what the respect for the next year. So
we will see how it goes. But again it it's
just logistically like we again, we had a restaurant in

(01:02:38):
mind because of what we've been averaging and whatever, and
it was just way too small for the through fair
that we had. So I found a place that's big
enough the whole even my anticipated max growth.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
The restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
We're going to craft a whole all of us and
people can sit on the beach and eat, which is
cool as long as we're the premier it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
So we will find people next year.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Uh yeah, my guess is gonna be somewhere right under
six hundred. But that that number is the number that
my mad people told me to expect, and I believe
her because she's super smart, so smart than I am.
But if that's what we get, that's what we end.
We're going to Florida. So it's a good chance that

(01:03:25):
everybody wants to come to Florida. But now when we
move to someplace like Kansas or whatever, people think that
the number is gonna fall. I really want to go
to Maine because that's gonna that's gonna If you ain't
about it, you ain't gonna be about it.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
And I can rid my v ride back up to Maine.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
So but every year, every year, we take turns, so
we don't have a committee. It's just me and solo,
and we we kind of take turns on picking where
we're going, and we talked about amongst each other.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
So even if it's my year, No, Now, you guys
had people from all over the United States, and even
in Canada.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Sure, there's a bunch of there's again. I think it
was twelve people from Canada and they were great. My
man Craig had told a lot of friends and they
all came down and I interviewed them on one of
the videos. So if you on the page, checked out
the video where I was walking around at night. It
was just an impromptu video. But they loved coming down.

(01:04:32):
Their first year they came was in Texas. They brought
Canadian whiskey for us and just had a great time
and show them a bunch of love. The only problem
with my Canadians is uh, you know, it can fall
on their their Thanksgiving Day, but every year that is
not on their Thanksgiving Day, they plan on coming to
the Rock Beet.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
We have a lot of repeat, repeat folks. Look at
all these people that just came. What is it like
to throwing a like this and all these people show
up with the passion that you have? What's it like?
How do you feel? Do you feel accomplished? What do
you feel I do? It's humbling. My circle has always

(01:05:14):
been bad on purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
It is I always hang out in all the circles again,
Hoka Hay. Circles is not a lot of people that
look like us, and it doesn't have to be and
that's okay, but it's growing. I B A and and
all these people come out on support because we show
nothing but love and and and again we're on their
top list.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
We're on solo myself where we're on on all those lists.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
So we show a lot of love to them, and
we recommend their their events and their rides, and we
get the love back when it's time for our rise
to eat. So it's great.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
And then I help a lot of people. People call
me for advice or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
I'm there and and they show that love back when
it's time to Rachi.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
What does it feel like to have your wife support you?
And how important is that in your writing endeavors?

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
And man, it's huge.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
I'm going again.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
I'm going a lot, and it's not I'm not a
one hitter kind of guy. Like hey man, in thirteen
you and Smilly did a four Yay States and that
was great, but we ain't seen you since. Every year
I'm fouting the pavement and not because I won't aculate,
because I love doing it. And now my wife, when
she can, she does it with me. Like I said

(01:06:31):
last year, we did about eighteen thousand miles. I did
eighteen thousand miles with her on the back. So like
rise that we will both do as long as she's
not in school or something.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Three flag classes. We walk every three flag class that
they come.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
We're at every year. That that is the right that
we both do every rochi we normally have somebody come,
like she had the flat to Raji this year because
she was in school all Thursday and had tests, so
she couldn't come Thursday with me, so she flew in Friday,
and then Saturdays she rode back with me. So I

(01:07:04):
was doing the Great League Cabin Trail last year and
I got the Madawasca and it was a beautiful weather.
So I turned around and came back home to Texas
and got her and like, yo, we're going on the ride.
And then we continued the Cabit Trail after I picked
her up and finished the Cabbit Trail together. So it's great.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Everybody don't have that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
And again I'm blessed with a little more time and
a little more money than something less than others. But
I make the best of what I got, So it's.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
That is really really awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Let us some for let me, let me get rid
of this. Uh hold on here, let's get rid of
this and go for a moment to the to the page.
Where's the page at.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
If you come to the ritet, man, you you might
not even see my wife much on Thursday or on
Friday nights and Saturday nights because her and Janie and
Paul and his brother named John Levin's, they are our
main cook crew. And that's that's what they're doing, is
that they're cooking. And Janie says she comes just to
cert of people. She's she pleased, just to sert the people.

(01:08:16):
So and they do a damn good job. It's hard
feating four hundred people off of two grills at a
at a at a hotel, but they do it, and
everybody's real pleased.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
And happy and it's a great time that herd of
Stone said, I was just telling my little brother the
ride to Eat twenty twenty five was like going to
a family reunion. To me, cousin, aunts and uncles you've
never met before. That's really amazing. That's really amazing. Tell
us that highway dre any more of your thoughts about

(01:08:54):
it than your experience.

Speaker 4 (01:08:57):
To me, the first one I went to I was
blown away.

Speaker 9 (01:09:01):
So, like I said, it changed everything that I started
to do as far as riding, and I kind of
always rode long distance, I just changed the way I rode.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
And they introduced me. Reef and Solo introduced me to
the Ida. So I have I don't have all the
I don't.

Speaker 9 (01:09:18):
I don't have what he had, but I got a
stack of him. And like you said, if it wasn't
for Reef and Solo, I would have never did the
Grand Slam. And it's it's pretty nice to be on
that short list. But to go out there in the family,
you go when you go to a Ride to Eat
and you leave, You're like, you just can't wait till
the next year. Because uh An MC event to me,

(01:09:41):
in my opinion opinion, would never compare to the Ride
to Eat because of the closeness. Everybody is just so
close and the love I mean, and we when you
talk all walks of life and logical tell you with
God said, and because the ministries and everything, I still
give them the business too. Walk right up to him
and I'll set a bobble beside him and say, hey,

(01:10:02):
you passed out. I know you need a drink and
that's how close we are, so you know, you know
we do that. So yeah, meet those guys, or a
god said to me, because they not only introduced me
to a different side of riding, but they opened so
many doors.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
And now I got a checklist, like like Reef was
saying about going to the national parks.

Speaker 9 (01:10:23):
If it wasn't for these guys introduced me to that
style of riding, I would have never started exploring all
this stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
So yeah, man, you need to come.

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
And like I said, I had Crow and Crow and
hero bencon to myself on Friday beginning because my bike
broke down.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
I had them to myself all day Friday and it
was Man, it's just awesome. It's awesome. You won't regret coming, man,
you won't regret coming to riding.

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
You know what I'll say. The Ride to Eat is
where two things. When you come to the ride to Eat,
can't wait to get to the next one. So within
that year you wanted, these two will help you and
other people will help you get out there do more rides,
and when you come back to the ride, you have
more to talk about. And the ride to Eat is

(01:11:18):
where is where pride meets humility.

Speaker 4 (01:11:22):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (01:11:23):
And they simplified for you too, because I know we've
told me when I when I started looking at these challenges,
he said, how do you eat an elephant?

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (01:11:32):
He said, one body at a time, yes, And he
said also with reed We talked to Reef yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
So with Rod to eat, me and a couple of
guys got a challenge.

Speaker 9 (01:11:43):
Were trying to see who's gonna bring uh the most
family that we got home to meet our new family.
You know, I'm like, man, I'm trying to bring twenty people,
you know, And that's how That's how big it is, man,
that's how great it is.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
So I want all my friends to be a part of.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
And one of the questions people keep asking is do
we have a chase card? Man? So so if you
bring a group of people and y'all decide to have
a chase vehicle, that's on y'all. We don't use chase
vehicles in the rocks. He didn't have a chase vehicle.

(01:12:21):
We're not riding far enough. And that ain't that ain't restrained.
So this ain't that kind of party. I don't I
don't know what to tell you or why y'all would
think we would have a chase vehicle, but no we don't.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Okay, okay, Uh, this is really really amazing, man, just
really amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:12:43):
Look, he said, y'all messing it up with all this publicity.
Too many new booties would be there next time.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
Calling people around there, calling people peasants.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
No, no, that wasn't that was you fool. No, well
it was both of y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
It was it was both y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Y'all had to be there. Y'all had to be there.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
You gotta be there.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
It's an experience that you you probably have not And
and one thing that me and Pastor he talked a
lot about with the Ride to Eat and any other rids, uh,
you need other places to go and experience and and
fellowship with other riders other than just the club events.

(01:13:34):
Now I'm not not knocking the club events because those
those anniversary parties be off the chain. But if you
want to meet a mixture of people, then you find
other places to go to. And the Ride to Eat
to me is the premiere one to.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Go to me. And Storm did this picture for snacks.
Cynthia Franklin. We just wanted to let you know we
missed you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
At the rt oh yeah, back riding uh the seas
see the Cross Egypt challenge. They went over there for
Squeegee's birthday as a bunch of ladies that went and
Snacks is one of our, one of my family. She's
a really family. We talk all the time. So she

(01:14:15):
called on Friday night to kind of talk to everybody
while she was in Egypt. From Egypt, she called and
was like, man, I'm sorry I can't be there. She
is a We support each other like you wouldn't believe.
And so while I put on speakerphone, everybody like Snags
and her thing is she jumps and take pictures. So

(01:14:38):
you will see a lot of pictures of us when
she's not even when she's there, but when she's not
there too. Just and then we sent him to her
to let her know that that she's with us even
though she ain't with us.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
And you all jump in the pictures. We all jumped.
That's her thing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
My knees gonna be liking it all the time now.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
But yeah, that's not you.

Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
Know, everybody got the thing, you know, So when you
see that right there, you got to think about Snacks.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
You have to think, right, man, this is really amazing, man,
that what you have built away from clubs, And you know,
I'm going to tell you it's so important because I'm
at that point in my life where I'm trying to
figure out the next stage. And I have been in
the clubs for thirty seven years and I didn't know

(01:15:24):
whether or not I could live without one. And I
know you've been in a long time club, dude, and
you're shaking your head yesterday, and I've been kind of lost.
I'll be honest with you, I've been kind of lost
with these troubles. I've been so lost, I haven't even
walked over and even looked at my motorcycle, to be
honest with you. And looking at this right here is

(01:15:50):
very soothing to my soul. I can't even explain what
it's like to see this and what you've built, Reeve.
And you know when you left your club, and I
was like, left this club? What kind of thing is that?

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
How are you how you gonna do this without a club?
I can't even imagine, And and uh what looking at this, Yeah,
you damn sure built a family, my man. You And
that's when the club was I guess supposed to be,
but maybe this is a more real family without the drama.
And you you lived that, that lifestyle of the drama,

(01:16:29):
and and I don't know whether that ended your personal life,
but you know, uh, you know, you can't wear your
colors in certain states and all kinds of stuff going on.
And now those people you ride like a free like
a bird. Now, yes, sir, you know it. For me,
it's always been a little things.

Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
If I hadn't heard from you, I call you probably
once a quarter if we hadn't already talked. So if
I had your number and you was at the riot heat,
I probably called you or tried to call you to.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Make sure you get home.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
And I was still on the road. And people were
amazed by that, and I'm like, that's what I do.
That's it's it's something. Now somebody keep asking how many
miles is the riots eat? So that's up to you
and where you're coming from. So for me this year,
Roty was nine and a half hours. Howevery many miles

(01:17:22):
that is, And then it was only thirty miles from
where we slept to where we ate, and from where
we slept and where we went to the historic site,
which was outstanding by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Some people came from California.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Smiley rose sixteen and eighty miles or something like that
straight through, leaving him and the crew that he brought
with him. They did a bumburn of gold to get home.
And so it depends on where it is in the
country is going to determine how how far it is.
It's not a set amount for for anybody because it
changed every year. So I can't tell you how long

(01:17:59):
the riot is that that's determined from where it is
to where you live.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Rightm Guyver says he's gonna be there next year. I
think you'll probably get a lot of people that are
coming after this video more. Uh yeah, we blew, y'all, Yeah, y'all. Sorry, Sorry.
The rooms will be out soon again.

Speaker 9 (01:18:18):
I will.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
I'm working on three hotels. It's right by each other.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
For the whole hotel. So as soon as I get
the proposals in and I go over the proposals to
pick which ones I want to use, and I will
put them out on the on the web page.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
And how quickly does this thing sell out?

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
Within the last year, both hotels are gone within the
Dana half. Yeah, And we had the hotels and then reality.
Once once Thursday got here, Uh Thursday, we had every
every room for Thursday and Friday we had every room
at the whole hotel and then our overflow is Hillton
Guard in and we had every room except three the

(01:18:59):
first night to the second night, and then Saturday there
was like ten rooms between two hotels.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
That wasn't enough. Hey, mo g Ass, whenever you all ride,
do you ever get any pushback from the dominance of
the areas you ride through?

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
Don't even see him. This is not a hotel, so
it's not a club event. We don't wear colors. The
only the only push back we get is that they
want us to come back next year. This year Harley,
three people traded in their bikes and got Harley, and
then there was like eighteen Harley's that had problems that
all went to the shop.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Ain't that right?

Speaker 6 (01:19:32):
Dre see now when I said that, you said you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Said it on on Togo show. I'm staying on my dragon.

Speaker 6 (01:19:42):
They were like, getting him off of here, get him off.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
But I say that to say that even though we
never went to Harley, everybody was going into Harley because
that's what Harley Roders do, right, And they were like yo,
why are you here?

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
That like, we're here for the reefing solos already he
and they're like, what the hell is that?

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
And all day, all weekend long, they were bombarded with
with my with our people, and they were like, yo,
y'all should come back. And I said, if you were
a good business, you would have found out where the
hell we were. And somebody from your organization with the
canon where we.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Were and asked us to come back.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
So we had a guy trade in a beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful gold wing for a brand new Indian Uh people
the shop forgetting a lot of love from we. We
we poured a lot of money into the Conway and
Little Rock Little Rock, Arkansas communities. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Now, somebody backing news Kinada says, what is the Cabo
Trail the Cabin Trail.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
So yes, that is the same cabin trail that is
part of a bigger ride called the Great Lake cabint Trail,
where there's I believe there's twelve things you have to
go see from the Great Lakes all the way to
the Cabin Trail. So that is one and the same.
Look up the s c m A. I put the
Lincoln the thing and you can pull up the Great
Lake Cabin Trio and need to tell you all about it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
But that is your cabat trio in Canada is beautiful.
They I met Reef and Solo on the Three Flags Classic.
They are both people that your life will have been
enhanced because of meeting them. My life has been enhanced
by you. But I have known you for a while.

Speaker 6 (01:21:23):
What grad showed me your coins for me?

Speaker 4 (01:21:28):

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Hey, by show them the coins they made for this event.
You guys have coins y'all made for the event, No, sir,
I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, I remember the day.
San Diego was super cracking. It seems like everyone has
moved away. Yeah, all of us were in San Diego

(01:21:54):
at one time. Reef made me do it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
So they're they're they're talking about making his shirt to
say that. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a thing lately.

Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:22:07):
Wow, hey, Reef, Uh you were talking about the Holly Shop.
The general manager, I think his name is hegro whatever.
He gave me a ride back to the hotel because
of my situation. He met Hero Benson and he said
the next time, if you ever come back to Little

(01:22:28):
Rock to do that event, he wanted to get with
you and maybe have like a daven or something at
the Holly Shop.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
And yeah, yeah, yeah, he fall in love with Hero.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Everybody falling in lovel Hero, that's my brother.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah he deserves that, Yeah he does.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
Yeah, well we're getting ready to get out of here.
Any things you want to say and closing?

Speaker 4 (01:23:04):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
I don't know what that is? Yeah, so again it's
it's next year. We're going to be in in Florida
and golf Breeze sometime hopefully before the weekends out or
probably not because they don't really work on weekends, but
maybe by Monday. The links would be up for the hotels.

(01:23:29):
If you can't, if you you can't go without your colors,
you don't. You don't want to turn to my event.
If you can't go without loud music, if you can't
go without slow roll competitions and loud pipe competitions, there's
no concerts, there's no I'll be hoping people go back
and tell people.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Oh, I'd be wanting people to tell you that again,
you cut out.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
I'll be hoping people will go back and tell people, men,
all we did was sit around. It ain't worth going.
I'd be wanting people to tell their friends that, so
they don't want to come because it's a mature crowd.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
We don't need all that. We don't want, we don't
want all that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
So if you can't, if you can't deal with people
hugging you, taking pictures to you, oh I got warns,
I want to take pictures. They keep your ass at home.
It's okay, it's okay. Everything ain't for everybody, and that
is okay. So but if you if you like that,
that the mature crowd, and you don't need all that
loud music, and you love to eat, you will get

(01:24:34):
tired of eating, but then you will be.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Steadily stuff in your face even though you're tired of eating.

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
So come and have a good time, and don't be
lying about your riding.

Speaker 6 (01:24:49):

espe lead to this group of people, and I ain't
gonna talk about one individual this group of individuals.
