In June, Flagstaff residents Eva Rupert and Josh Remer will be riding vintage 100cc motorcycles across the state of Arizona to raise money for Blood:Water Mission, a Nashville non-profit that builds HIV/AIDS clinics and clean water wells in Africa. Both Josh and Eva are avid motorcyclists and wanted a way to use what they love to make a difference in the world. They see their ride as a more exciting version of a walk-a-thon. Josh and Eva are actively fundraising for the event and will be appearing at the Overland Expo in Mormon Lake, AZ, May 16-18.

Josh will be riding a 1972 Honda CB100 and has spent the last few years working with non-profit organizations and is passionate about the role they play in the world. He is presently an MBA candidate at Northern Arizona University.

Eva will be riding a 1969 Honda CL90 and is a primitive survival expert and tattoo artist at Birch Avenue Tattoo in Flagstaff. She recently appeared on the Discovery Chanel show Naked and Afraid.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
