The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ is a grueling long-distance motorcycle endurance ride that tests riders' physical stamina, mental for titude, and emotional resilience. Organized by Medicine Show LLC, the event is deeply rooted in the Lakota Sioux principle of Wolakota,

Emphasizing peace, balance, and respect. The Challenge is not just a ride; it's a transformative journey that encourages par ticipants to confront personal limitations and embrace a warrior spirit characterized by honor, integrity, and compassion.

A Test of True Grit

Since its inception in 2010, the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge has been recognized as one of the most demanding endurance rides in the world Designed to be demanding, the route spans nearly 10,000 miles of backroads, reser vations, mountain passes, and remote landscapes. Organizers intentionally avoid major highways to push riders out of their comfor t zones and into the hear t of rural America The goal is to challenge par ticipants not just physically, but mentally and spiritually, leading them through landscapes that reflect the raw beauty and rugged unpredictability of the journey itself Riders don’t receive the full route upfront; instead, directions are handed out one leg at a time at official checkpoints, reinforcing the event ’ s theme of trust, surrender, and discover y.

Embracing the Warrior Spirit

The Challenge is more than a physical endeavor; it's a spiritual one. Par ticipants are encouraged to embody the values of a warrior not just as protectors but as mentors, guides, and community leaders. The event's mission is to promote awareness of social issues, inspire personal accountability,

and empower individuals to overcome adversity. By confronting the unknown and persevering through hardship, riders discover a deeper sense of purpose and connection to others.

Community and Charity

A significant aspect of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is its commitment to charitable causes. Each event supports organizations that align with the Challenge's values.

For instance, the 2024 Challenge raised funds for the Yaghanen Language and Cultural Programs of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, supporting youth education and cultural preservation. The upcoming 2026 Challenge will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, focusing on youth development and community engagement.

Looking Ahead

The 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is set to begin and end in Woodstock, Illinois, star ting on August 2nd

Riders will embark on a new, undisclosed route that promises to test their endurance and resolve While new rider applications have reached capacity, returning riders can still apply to par ticipate in this life-changing event For more information, to apply, or to suppor t the Challenge's charitable initiatives, visit the official website: www.hokaheychallenge.com.

2024 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge Finals

Reef’s & Ksolo’s 8th Annual Ride to Eat:

Don’s Seafood

There’s something special about the way motorcycles bring people together. The roar of the engine, the miles of open road, and the stories shared along the way create a brotherhood and sisterhood that defy distance and time. That spirit was alive and well last October, 2024, when riders from across the country gathered once again in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the 8th annual Reef’s and Ksolo’s Ride to Eat.

More than just a meetup, this belo weekend tradition has become a beaco camaraderie and connection in the motorc community Each year, friends both old new ride hundreds sometimes thousands miles to spend time together, tell stories o road, and of course, share a meal that tastes just a little better when earned on two wheels

The Gathering Place: Baton Rouge, LA

The host hotel in Baton Rouge served as the weekend’s home base. Riders rolled in Thursday and Friday, parking their bikes, hugging like long-lost family, and picking up conversations right where they left off the year before. Whether it was their first Ride to Eat or their eighth, every attendee was greeted with open arms and familiar smiles.

Friday night set the tone: laughter echoed through the parking lot, chrome shined under the streetlights, and conversations stretched late into the night. Some swapped stories of recent road trips; others discussed the latest bike upgrades or shared memories from past rides. It wasn’t about who had the fastest bike it was about who had the best stories.

A Ride Through History: Whitney Plantation

On Friday, before the evening’s welcome gatherings began, many riders took a detour through history with a meaningful group ride to the Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana. This powerful and educational stop added a reflective layer to the weekend

Unlike many plantation tours, Whitney is unique in that it centers the lives and stories of the enslaved men, women, and children who lived and labored there.

Riders walked the solemn grounds, viewed memorials, and explored exhibits that gave voice to those often left out of traditional narratives. The experience was humbling, thought-provoking, and a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of those who came before. It sparked deep conversations and silent reflection proof that this ride was about more than just food and fellowship It was about honoring the past, even as the group celebrated the present

The Main Course: Don’s Seafood in Hammond

On Saturday, the group fired up their engines and hit the road for the culinary highlight of the weekend Don’s Seafood in Hammond, LA. Known for its Cajun charm and mouthwatering dishes, Don’s served as the perfect backdrop for what the Ride to Eat is all about: good food, good laughs, and good people

The restaurant’s parking lot transformed into an impromptu bike show as chrome glinted in the Louisiana sun. Inside, tables were filled with the clatter of plates, laughter, and the unmistakable sound of community Riders passed plates of crawfish étouffée, gumbo, and fried catfish, making room for second helpings and second stories.

The energy was electric not from a band or DJ, but from the shared love of the ride, the respect for the road, and the joy of being surrounded by kindred spirits.

The Ride Home: Parting

is Such Sweet Sorrow

By Sunday morning, the laughter gave way to handshakes, hugs, and promises to meet again next year Helmets went on Kickstands went up Riders pointed their bikes in every direction north, south, east, and west taking with them full hearts, satisfied appetites, and another chapter in their riding journey.

While the ride to Don’s Seafood on Saturday was the highlight, Sunday morning marked the end of the weekend for most Riders packed up early, said their goodbyes, and rolled out as the sun rose heading back to cities and states far and wide Though the weekend felt all too short, it left behind memories that would carry them through until the next reunion.

A Legacy of Brotherhood on Two Wheels

Now in its eighth year, Reef’s and Ksolo’s Ride to Eat has grown beyond just a restaurant run. It’s a reminder that in a fast-paced world, slowing down for a weekend with your tribe is more than just worth it it’s necessary. It’s about showing up, sharing space, honoring the past, and feeding more than just your stomach

Whether it’s your first ride or your eighth, this event is a reminder that sometimes, the best destination is simply the people and stories you meet along the way.

And the ride continues-the 9th Annual Ride to Eat is already on the horizon, set to take place in Little Rock, Arkansas, this coming October. Riders are already gearing up, booking hotels, and mapping out their journeys, to what promises to be another unforgettable weekend of connection, reflection, and the open road

If you walk into Falcons Fur y Harley-Davidson dealership, you might expect chrome, horsepower, and the rumble of a few engines. But, if you ’ re lucky enough to meet Marq “Lokey” Jefferson, you’ll also find something much rarer: a man who doesn’t just sell motorcycles one who’s changing lives, one ride at a time.

With over 3,300 motorcycles sold, Lokey has car ved out a name not just in sales, but in ser vice.

Over the last decade, he’s built a legacy rooted in trust, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to customer care. While his sales numbers are impressive, they’re just one par t of his stor y.

At first glance, it might look like he’s just selling bikes His social media shows gleaming Harleys rolling off the lot and smiling customers posing next to their dream machines

But behind each sale is a stor y—sometimes six months, sometimes a year in the making. For nearly a decade, he’s been planting seeds, building trust, and guiding riders to not just any motorcycle, but the right motorcycle. Now, he’s shifting gears into something even bigger. Call it hustle! Call it purpose! But this isn’t just a job, it ’ s a calling- and it's only the beginning.

Ten Years, Over 3,300 Bikes Sold

In Februar y 2015, he walked into the dealership for the first time as a new hire—and left that same day having sold his first bike

A decade later, he’s shattered expectations, defied early doubts, and built a thriving base of loyal customers and referrals His successit ’ s not about flashy tactics or fast talk It ’ s about giving people an experience they’ll never forget.

“ You give someone a great buying experience, and they’ll buy from you over and over again,” he says. “People might not remember your name, but they’ll remember how you treated them ”

And clearly, Lokey treats them well So well, in fact, that many come back for their second, third even fifth Harley. Referrals pour in. Repeat customers become friends.

And somewhere along the line, the typical walk-in showroom grind gave way to something few salespeople ever get to experience-working by appointment only.

It ’ s not about exclusivity, it ’ s about respect. Respect for his time, and more impor tantly, respect for the customer's time and journey.

“I used to sit 12-hour shifts, planting seeds, waiting,” he says “Now, when someone ’ s ready, they call me. We set the appointment. I meet them at the dealership, and I give them my full attention No distractions Just them, their questions, and their dream bike ”

This approach allows Lokey to deliver a more personal, focused experience—one where the rider ’ s needs come first, and not just monthly numbers

“It ’ s been a real blessing,” he says. “Now I can focus on ever y customer personally and still have time to build other par ts of my vision.”

The Brolo Movement: Brothers on Cholos

That vision? It ’ s called Brolo, shor t for “Brothers on Cholos ” Inspired by the Cholo bike customization culture born on the West Coast. The Brolo Movement is bringing old-school flavor to the East. It's more than a style it's an attitude, a statement, and a tribute to culture, craftsmanship, and community

“It star ted with a love for the old-school aesthetic whitewalls, spoke wheels, fishtails,” he explains “But now it ’ s a movement.

People are reaching out, selling their touring bikes, saying, ‘Put me on that old-school vibe I want to ride Brolo.’”

Together with fellow club brothers Bankhead, K’Law, Young Cuz and Pancho he’s building the Brolo brand from the ground up: customized bikes, exclusive apparel, and soon, a full-ser vice custom build shop-with a newly launched website at www.brolomotorapparel.com.

“ We’re creating something people want to be a par t of,” he says. “It ’ s a culture shift and we ’ re just getting star ted.”

The Ser vice Philosophy That Built a Career

What sets him apar t is a radical idea in today’s sales world: care over commission. Even with all this momentum, his core philosophy hasn't changed He’s never chased quotas He’s never pushed a customer into a sale. For him, success means putting someone on a bike that fits their life—not just moving metal.

“I don’t care if I sell one bike this month or 30,” he says. “If it ’s the right one, I’ve done my job.”

That approach, rooted in integrity, has turned into serious numbers. In June of last year, he hit his 3,000th customer and celebrated the milestone by gifting the rider Harley swag and $500 from his own pocket. Today, he's well past 3,300 and counting.

The Beat Don’t Stop: From Bikes to Basslines

If bikes are one beat of his stor y, music is the other Before the sales floor, he was deep in Atlanta’s music scene laying basslines for TLC’s “ Water falls,” writing music for OutKast, Usher, Ciara, and Lil Jon, and racking up over 400 tracks in his catalog.

His remix of Jagged Edge’s “Let ’ s Get Married” featuring Run DMC-was a hit; and yes, he’s still at it, still producing, still writing, still chasing the rhythm

“Music has always been par t of me, ” he says “It ’ s the same energy I bring into ever ything else creative, passionate, real.”

On Februar y 15, 2025, Marq “Lokey” Jefferson celebrated ten incredible years with Harley-Davidson at Falcons Fur y a decade defined by unmatched customer ser vice, genuine connection, and relentless drive.

From that ver y first sale on day one to building a community that spans beyond the showroom, Lokey has remained focused on putting people first. As he steps into this next chapter with the Brolo Movement gaining momentum and his reputation as a culture-setter solidified, one thing is clear: Lokey isn’t just selling bikes he’s building a legacy, mile after mile, rider by rider.

Mr. Nate FOUNDER & LIVING LEGEND

There are riders—and then there are road warriors whose stories ripple far beyond the highway lines. Mr. Nate is one of the latter. Born and raised in Compton, his path could have led to the familiar story of struggle, the kind that stays parked on the same corner forever. But Mr. Nate chose a different gear. With the rumble of a bike beneath him and the horizon always calling, he rewrote his destiny, one mile at a time.

What began as short local rides on borrowed bikes turned into an odyssey across all 50 states. Not for fame, not for accolades— but for freedom. For healing. For unity. Through decades of throttle therapy, Mr. Nate transformed not just himself, but entire communities—mentoring riders, founding a legacy club, and bridging worlds that once stood divided.

This is not just a story about motorcycles. It’s about movement— forward, upward, and outward. It’s about finding your tribe, your purpose, and your peace on the open road. And most of all, it’s about what’s possible when a man chooses not just to ride—but to rise.

Long before the name 'Rare Breed' meant something in the motorcycle world, there was just a man and a dream. A young Mr. Nate, fresh out of the Navy and trying to outrun the grip of his neighborhood, found peace in the hum of an engine and the endless possibility of an open road. “The streets almost had me— but the ride gave me freedom. When I got on that bike, everything changed. The road became my way out, my way forward,” said Mr. Nate.

That first journey beyond city lines wasn’t just a weekend escape— it was a glimpse of a new future. Rows of motorcycles stretched for blocks, every parking lot packed, every heart beating in rhythm with the throttle. 'Unity,' he calls it. Not just among riders, but among brothers and sisters bound by a deeper code—one of loyalty, freedom, and rebirth.

The club he co-founded, Rare Breed, didn’t start with bylaws and meetings—it started with a feeling. A belief that no matter where you came from, once you got on the road, you were family. Today, it stands as a symbol of healing and hope, pulling riders from all walks of life out of the streets and into something greater.

Mr. Nate’s life is a masterclass in motion. His annual coast-to-coast rides are not about tallying states, but touching lives—his own included. From spontaneous hospitality in Florida to soul-deep moments in the desert, every ride reveals new meaning.

That first long-distance ride to Fresno in 1989 wasn’t just a road trip, it was a revelation. “Every hotel was taken. Every parking lot was full. It was like a party all the way down the block,” Mr. Nate remembers. It was his first exposure to the unity and energy of the Black motorcycle community. “I was stunned.”

It wasn’t long before Mr. Nate became one of the founding members of what would grow into an iconic club: the Rare Breed Motorcycle Club. “There were six or seven of us at first,” he says. “We weren’t trying to start anything official. We just liked to ride.” But the community noticed, and when the questions started coming—“Who are you guys?”—the answer became inevitable. Rare Breed was born.

Though rooted in Compton, Rare Breed transcended neighborhood lines. “The club became a neutral zone,” Mr. Nate explains. “We were bringing guys together who used to be on opposite sides of things. We weren’t worried about where you came from—once you were riding with us, you were family.”

That brotherhood, built on the open road, became a kind of redemption. Mr. Nate doesn’t sugarcoat his past. “We were always scheming in the neighborhood,” he admits. “But out there, on the road, it was different. It was just... freedom.”

That freedom led to cross-country rides that became annual rituals. In 2000, Mr. Nate took his first full coast-to-coast trip on a burgundy Harley “dresser,” a fully equipped touring model. He was fulfilling a dream his father never got to live. “I heard him say it in the garage—‘I want to ride to Texas.’ He never made it. So I did it for both of us.”

Mr. Nate's journey didn’t stop at Texas. That first ride turned into a marathon of milestones: 15,000-mile trips, the Four Corners challenge, 48 states in one trip, riding to all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska, and even crossing through Canada and Mexico. He’s done it with his family, alone, and alongside brothers from all walks of life.

In 2023, he completed his fourth Four Corners run in four years— earning what’s known in the motorcycle world as the “Grand Slam.” “Only three of us have done that,” he says with quiet pride. "But it ain’t about the trophy. It’s about the story.”

And Mr. Nate has stories- like the time he unknowingly rode through a heat stroke in the desert, only to be saved by a man he pulled over to help on the side of the road. Or the funeral rides where the streets were lined with hundreds of bikes, a throttle salute echoing unity and loss. “Anytime I thought we didn’t have unity,” Mr. Nate says, “I’d

see it at those home-goings.”

Now 69 years old, Mr. Nate still rides. Still cross-country. Still showing up. “I ride with the same purpose I always had,” he says. “To stay off the streets, to stay in motion, to be part of something bigger.”

He’s the last of the original Rare Breed founders still active in the club. “We fought. We went to court, but I stayed. And now, when I look at the respect I get from these younger cats—it’s earned, not given.”

For Mr. Nate, the road never ends. “Sometimes I get home

and my bike’s just sitting there... ticking, like it’s talking. Asking, ‘Where we going next?’”

Riding has never just been about the miles—it’s been about meaning. Every trip is a tribute: to his roots, to the brotherhood he helped build, to the freedom he fought to find. “I didn’t know it at the time,” he says, “but that bike saved my life. And every time I ride, I’m keeping that life in motion.”

In the world of motorcycle culture, few figures command the kind of respect and admiration that Mr. Nate does. Not just because of the roads he's conquered, but because of the life he's built along the way. Rooted in Compton and rising through challenges that could have easily pulled him in another direction, Mr. Nate turned a simple love for riding into a life of purpose. For many in the Black motorcycle set—a subculture often underrepresented in mainstream media—he’s a pioneer, a protector, and a living legend. His story is not only a chronicle of roads traveled but a testament to how motorcycles can become a path to redemption, brotherhood, and enduring freedom.

50 State Roll Call: Arizona & Arkansas

There’s a certain kind of freedom you only find on two wheels; the kind that comes when the road unwinds ahead of you and the world opens in ways that cars just can’t reach. For riders who crave more than just miles, Arizona and Arkansas serve up the kind of routes that stay with you long after the ride is done.

Picture yourself cutting through the shadow of the Grand Canyon, the sunlight bouncing off layers of ancient rock, or leaning into a curve on the Pig Trail as fall colors explode around you like fire.

These two states offer more than scenery, they deliver stories, history, and soul. From iconic American landmarks like Route 66 and Monument Valley to hidden gems like Devil’s Den State Park and the one-lane bridge in Beaver, each stop is a reason to pull over, breathe it in, and maybe snap a photo before throttling up and chasing the horizon again.
