Cincinnati Lawyer Challenges Eric Deters at Autism Rocks 3

The Cincinnati Center for Autism is holding a big fund raising event Sunday February 12, 2012. There are going to be over 50 celebrities including former Cincinnati Red Lee May, Former Cincinnati Bengal Ickey Woods, and Pro wrestling super star Sean Casey. Here's the link http://www.rockinforautism.com/

You get to mingle with all these stars. So bring your camera and something for them to autograph. That's why they are there. One of the celebrities was listed at Eric "the Bulldog" Deters. That got me to thinking since I have a radio show on www.waif883.org called Cincinnati Biker Life on Thursday evening at 8, since I'm also a lawyer, that it was time for Eric Deters and myself to wrestle for charity. Especially if we could get Sean Casey to be  the special referee.

So I threw down a challenge to Eric Deters on his facebook page. Here's what I said:

                          I challenge Eric Deters to a wrestling match at Autism Rocks 3.......Rockin for Autism with Sean Casey to be the special referee. Loser donates $250 to Cincinnati Center for Autism or has to leave town .Eric i'm a better lawyer, radio host and wrestler than you . Time to throw down Chihuahua I mean Bulldog. In fact I'll wrestle you and Bill Cunningham in a handicap match. it's for a great cause.


 It did not take long for him to reply:


       " My fighting days are over I'm becoming old and decrepit. Well so much for the bulldog.


I now turning my attention to Bill Cunningham. I'm not sure if Bill was invited or not but I'm daring him as  I called out the Bulldog to wrestle me one round and if I lose I'll donate $250 to the Cincinnati center for autism.


Of course this is all for laughs and to publicize and support the Cincinnati Center For Autism . They are working miracles with these children everyday. What CCA does is not for laughs, it's for real. They allow these autistic  children and theirr parents a much greater quality of life, by the hard work they do with these children. 


I wrote this on this biker site because David Kahle , father of an autistic child is the organizer of this event  and all around super guy and avid biker. Since we take care of our own lets take care of the Cincinnati Center for Autism and turn out february 12. it will be a great time.

Hoka Hey Motorcycle Riders Their Story On Cincinnati Biker Life

As a Cincinnati Motorcycle rider , motorcycle lawyer and programmer for the radio show Cincinnati Biker Life it was a great honor to do a show on the Hoka Hey Challenge . What the hey is the Hoka Hey you may ask. Many seasoned motorcycle riders have not even heard of the Hoka Hey.

I thank Jimmy Kay of Two Wheel Thunder TV for turning me on to the Hoka Hey and a local rider from Greater Cincinnati Curtis Belcher. A 50 year old postal worker and Free Mason. I learned from Jimmy that the Hoka Hey is the longest motorcycle challenge in the world. Last year the ride went from Florida to Alsaka.

This year the ride was close to 14,000 miles. It started in Phoenix and ended in Nova Scotia. Will Barclay was the winner both years. Last year the first place price was $500,000 and Will pocketed the money. This year although Will was the first one to finish no winner has been declared. There is plenty of controversy surrounding this. But the essence of the ride remains pure and the Spirit of the ride transcends any controversy.

Last night on Cincinnati Biker Life we had the Hoka Hey call in. Hoka Hey Riders from all over the country called into WAIF Cincinnati studio to tell a little of their story. I started taking calls live at 8:28 PM and the last one ended at 9:58 PM.

The callers included Blacky, a 58 year old former Texas game warden that finished this years ride, as well as Will Barclay who collects adventures and did not even reveal his status as first place finisher both years. Junie Rose rider extraordinary crashed and got back up and finished this year. She's trying to get blankets to give to the Sioux. please give her a hand

This is what Barclay wrote on his first year experience:

The Hoka Hey, with all its imperfection, was a breath of fresh air in a world where destructive political correctness and unrealistic expectations and blaming others has become almost universal. As I rode it I was surprised and pleased to see that there are great swaths of North America, even in the lower 48 where there is still abundant wildlife and green space. Where people still socialize from their front porch instead of watching TV. The overwhelming majority of the riders, (though not all) especially those who stuck it out, cherish the experience and want to do it again. Don’t take my word for it. Ask Mark Storey, the rider from Australia who finished second. Ask Ben Hudak who suffered a terrible accident in Canada and came on to Homer in a truck to be with the other challengers. Ask Alex Hood from Colorado who was badly injured in an accident in Arizona and who is signed up to ride again this year. Ask Greg Darby from Florida who used the Hoka Hey to raise many thousands of dollars for lieukemia. Ask them to give up their coins. Read the rider’s stories and blog comments in their own words on the hokaheychallenge.com website. No one fooled these people and they are not conspirators. They are teachers and police officers and retirees and middle managers and students and day laborers who had the experience of a lifetime. An experience they could not have duplicated on their own.

Junie says a big part is raising the consciousness of the plight of the American Indians especially the Lakota. Here's an exerpt from Wikepedia about the Hoka Hey:

The inaugural 2010 challenge took participants along a mandatory route on back roads across the United States and Canada. The route scrossed numerous mountain ranges, 33 Indian reservations, 25 national forests, eight deserts and six national parks. Challenge routes travel secondary roads with directions revealed at a series of specific checkpoints. The event guidelines prohibit speeding and require contenders to sleep outside throughout the entire course.

Many of the riders talked about the sleep deprivation and the sprituality they experienced as well as the bond between riders which was evident from all the callers many names I just can't recall.  Here's two video's that give some flesh to the experience though I would not profess to even be close to the experience having just talked to those who did.

Cincinnati Personal injury Attorney Creates Ohio Motorcycle safety Kit

As a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer I see a lot of broken people with bad injuries. Some of the worst injuries I handle are motorcycle accidents. These accident injury cases run the gamut from highway construction defects, car cutting of motorcyclists, cars violating the motorcyclists' right of way by turning in front of them at intersections or pulling out from stop streets , to rear end collisions.

Also there are passenger claims against the driver of the motorcycle as well. And even accidents between two motorcycle riding together and one failed to watch the roadway ahead. The bottom line though is that motorcyclists often get a raw deal either through their own lack of knowledge or because of prejudices against motorcyclists.

So I wrote The Ohio Motorcycle Bible - The Guide to Protecting Ohio Motorcyclists and Their Families.This has some great information for Ohio motorcyclists. I added to this a tire gauge and a Watch For Motorcycle Bumper Sticker. At the recent Cyclefest Cincinnati I gave out over 200 of these Ohio Motorcycle Safety Kits.

Below is a video of an interview I gave  to  Two Wheel Thunder TV about the Ohio Motorcycle Bible.



 As a personal injury accident lawyer it was an honor to have Jimmy Kay interview me about this book. You can get the book as a free download at my web site.  The Ohio Motorcycle Safety Kit is always complimentary . Just catch me at a local Cincinnati motorcycle event and I'd be happy to give one to you.
