Fuel for a Cause: Jimmy ‘Taco’ Burns’ Long Distance Charity Ride

Fuel for a Cause: Jimmy ‘Taco’ Burns’ Long Distance Charity Ride.  My guest this week is, Jimmy Burns a member of Mile Monsters, Inc. “Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference.” ~ K. Calvin My guest this week found a way to combine his love of riding motorcycles with a cause that helps thousands of kids and even challenges himself beyond what he could have ever dreamed possible. Mr. Jimmy ‘Taco’ Burns is a longtime friend that crossed my path many years ago when we both worked together at Gold Strike Casino.  Jimmy had been involved with security for most of his life and for as long as he could remember he has been a motorcycle enthusiast.  Jimmy is a member of “Mile Monsters, Inc.” and has ridden for a cause many times.  It was this drive to ride for something bigger than himself that pushed him to think broader. Jimmy explains how a simple challenge suddenly was turned into a calling and one of his life’s missions.  If you are a rider then it is likely that you know about iron butt challenges that are grueling 1000 miles of riding in one day.  Well, it was one of those challenges that eventually led Jimmy to his calling of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge which is a 10,000 mile ride in 10 days.  This ride is a self-guided, and self-sustained with no GPS ride from start to finish. Jimmy talks about how difficult the ride can be facing the elements and how there were many times that he considered throwing in the towel, but it was the thought of what he was riding for that kept him going.  Jimmy’s charity is for ‘Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy’ which effects mostly young boys. In August of 2026 Jimmy plans on tackling this incredible feat again and hopes to raise even more money for his charity than last time.  Please tune in to hear how he got the nickname ‘Taco’ and please consider helping him raise money for this amazing organization.  You can learn more by googling the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.
