On Saturday, February 1st 2025 we get together once again to share great friendships and memories that we have created during our lifetime. Here at the HSHoF our motto is: "The chain that connect us all is our passion for motorcycles."

-HOF Staff

The racing world has suffered a great loss and the loss of a very dear friend with the passing of the famed announcer Larry Huffman. Gene Woods laments, "You will be sorely missed, Larry, and thank you for all of the special memories we shared that I will now cherish forever."

The Hot Shoe Hall of Fame was created because of people like Darryl Bassani, one of our founding members. The whole idea of the event was to get together and see each other because you never know when it may be the last time. "I'm suffering a great personal loss right now," HOF founder Gene Woods states, "I have known Darryl since I was seven years old." Rest in peace to one of the truly great men of the motorcycle industry.

Farelli is another happy recipient of Heart Shoes at UMC's cardiac rehab center. The Hot Shoe Hall of Fames goal is to help those in need or show some love to the ones who are are helping others move forward in life.

We call them Heart Shoes because when we give them to others, they come from the heart of the motorcycle industry. Gail and Chris from the University Medical Center cardiac rehab unit display their brand-new heart shoes they received as a gift from one of our staff. These two spend their days helping patients get back on track after having heart related surgery.

It’s about time!

Mitch Payton, the man behind Pro Circuit, has stamped his mark in the supercross and motocross industry over the years by combining performance parts, young talent and good old hard work. The end result of this is a plethora of #1 plates emblazoned on the inside door of the Pro Circuit race rig. We welcome Mitch into the HSHoF class of 2024. hotshoehof.com

The HSHoF class of 2024 is particularly exceptional, in part due to the induction of the much-loved Nicky Hayden. The "Kentucky Kid" will secure his spot amongst the other greats of the motorcycle industry, both past and present. It's hard to say what people remember most fondly about Nicky: his MotoGP World Championship in 2006, or his ever-present beaming smile. Come join the celebration January 27, 2024.
