I ran and finished the 2022 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge with my 2021 Pan America Special. I rode it from Florida to Sturgis, ran the entire Challenge, and then rode back to Florida without getting towed. I mention that first because there are some folks out west (including HD techs) incorrectly spreading the word all the Pan Ams broke down and couldn't make it.
This is my review of running my Pan America in the 2022 Hoka Hey. First, I go over and show the setup for the Hoka Hey, then I cover how they worked out, some issues I had with the bike at the end, and what I'll do different next time.

I found out that there's enough subscribers to open up a community tab. As I get more time I'll start by copying my Instagram posts and photos from the Hoka Hey (I had just started an account and was still learning how to use it).
The Hoka Hey was quite an adventure, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing your experience in well spoken words! You are inspiring! I own a PAS too. Warm greetings from Germany and ride safe!🍻

Thank you, I've always wanted to get over there and see the Black Forest & Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München

Jim, you are a phukking machine!! Your passion for motorcycling is in to way relative to the number of YT subscribers that you have! You are as genuine as the day is long, and that is somewhat unique in today’s YT environment. It would be an honor for me to attempt to hang with you on a ride across these amazing United States! God bless you, sir!

@joeyramone64 Год назад

Well done sir! That sounds like an amazing rally. I am happy that your "bumps in the road" were not major and you were able to finish.

Wow! Congratulations on finishing this harrowing journey. In Switzerland, we have a no-highway event that's called the Swiss 500 miles. 24 hrs. (no sleep) of high mountain passes. I tape a headlamp to my forehead on low so I can read the papers they give you (same size as yours), but I like your solution of writing a few instructions on the windsheild. I plan on riding my Pan America for that this year.

@floridajim Год назад

That sounds like fun, and something I'd try if I was ever over there.

Thanks for sharing your experience on the Hoka Hey, rider 807 right here, I can't wait to meet you in person. Ride on! HOKA HEY!

This is so awesome Sir, thank you for sharing, all your videos are straight to the point.

What an inspiration! I've done a Saddle Sore 1K and a Bun Burner (silver) Ultra Limited and ridden to Alaska on my '22 PAS. Because of your video, now I'm interested in the Hoka Hey. More research needed. Thanks for posting and congrats on an epic accomplishment. Keep on ridin'.

@BGPD70 Год назад

Nice video Jim and congratulations. You've been an inspiration for me keeping my 22 pas despite all the issues. Ride on

@hokaheyrider059 Год назад

Just came across your channel. Watching brought back some great memories from 2010 and 2011. Good luck in 24! Thumper, rider 059.

Good video.

@Donfleebie1 Год назад

Props to you Jim.

@floridajim Год назад

Appreciate it, was a fun ride. Though the mileage was about the same, a very different event. If I have time I might do a video comparing the IBR & Hoka Hey. Headed of to work now (have to pay for this somehow).

@MinnowMoto Год назад

Sounds like a great adventure. I never heard of anyone riding a chain off the bike like that. I am so glad you are ok. I guess if my fuel pump starts to go I will hear it? Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year.

@floridajim Год назад

You'll hear it. When you turn on your bike you'll get a real high-pitched squeal as it pressurizes the system before you start it.

Enjoy your videos! Nice to get a review from a man that isn't a snowflake, (whining about some fluffy extra the bike is "missing" ). Ride it hard, report in earnest.. Thanks! How many miles are you at now??

I got to say I think you made a mistake with the fuel pump was while you were in Sturgis you should have stayed an extra day and had the people in Arkansas bad exit to you overnight that fee is $102 from FedEx maybe you toss another 20 bucks to the people in Arkansas or whatever cost of your hotel room was a little bit under a hundred and you could have saved all that worry that the bike was going to break down in the middle of nowhere all for the cost of $102 maybe next time you run into that sort of situation you might at least consider that personally that's what I would have done I have driven from Seattle to Florida five times so far and luckily never a breakdown but I'm mentally prepared for it to happen... Last time had a battery issue in the middle of Wall South Dakota on a Sunday what do you think my odds are that I could have got a battery in wall at the only local auto parts store which I believe is a Napa probably not good.. Lol..

@deepsquat600 Год назад

Anyway just wanted to let you know I've watched several of your iron butt videos etc and I do enjoy your channel

@floridajim Год назад

I do have a bad habit of pushing through things, when it probably would have been a better (& safer) plan to do like you said.

@deepsquat600 Год назад

@@floridajim you know I do have to Amanda what I said saying that I've never broken down.. One of my trips I used my car.. Not 🏍️ and lost transmission in green River Wyoming.. About a mile from the exit.. Had to stay four days to get it replaced... But I did have the tools in my trunk..I could have done it myself if needed.. Trouble was even though it was June.. It was snowing in the mornings... Cold cold work l to do outside in the super 8 parking lot

@@floridajim wow getting awful close to 50k. Im just about to hit 10k lol. Im having some issues also with my electrical. Im thinking about switching battery out reminds me a lot of chasing a bad ground. Random stuff happening. Screen off bike running

@dietmdew845 Год назад

This is why BMW GS’s are shaft drive. Harley made a big mistake in that regard.

@jvc350 7 месяцев назад

Why is a chain a mistake? Africa Twin and others are using chain. I can repair and get down the road with a chain. A broken driveshaft and you're screwed. Yes, shafts break too.

@jeffrunz73 Год назад

What is your instagram handle? The link in your about section seems to be broken.

@floridajim Год назад

I changed it to "jim.in.florida" since florida.jim was already taken, just forgot to update the link. Lately it's been more mountain bike related since the bike's been in the shop

@tweetchris46 Год назад
