Kevin Bean're attempts coast to coast mini bike trip

Will travel over 3,000 miles to raise money for charity

 DAYTONA, FL (December 13, 2016) — Going after a 50cc mini bike long distance world record? Why not. Kevin Bean’re intends to ride coast to coast from Daytona to San Diego to add his name to the Guinness World Records. 

Kevin will ride with friend Tim Ford  for what is expected to be a 9-day 3000-mile trip, of course using mainly back roads.

This world record attempt is also the pretext to raise money for charity, the Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation, whose purpose is to advocate for ALD newborn screening in every state. ALD is a deadly genetic disease that affects 1 in 18 000 people.

It most severely affects young boys and men with loss of muscle control and progressive dementia leading to death.

Kevin Bean’re and his riding companion intend to organize fund raisers along their way to San Diego and to carry some proposed legislation to several of the state capitals they will travel through. They also have plans to have individual pledges by the mileage that they accrue.

There will be a page on the Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation website for donations. The coast to coast ride will start from Daytona on March 20, the day after Daytona Bike Week is over.

Tail of the Dragon crash survivor shares final goodbye videos

KNOXVILLE, TN – (October 26, 2016) Kevin Diepenbrock was dying, and he knew it. As he lay in a ditch unable to move and barely able to breathe, he filmed his final goodbyes to his parents and his wife.

"See you guys soon," he says as the first video ends. By the time he filmed the third video in total darkness, his voice had grown hoarse and faltering, and he doesn't sound quite so optimistic.

Kevin and Courtney Diepenbrock watched the videos for the first time on Monday night in his hospital room at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He initially decided he didn't want anyone else to see them, and deleted them from his phone.

But on Tuesday, he retrieved them from cloud storage and shared them with the News Sentinel.

On Oct. 15, Diepenbrock and Phillip Polito, his riding companion and co-worker at a natural gas plant near Philadelphia, Pa., tumbled more than 100 feet down a rocky embankment after their motorcycles collided on a notorious stretch of Highway 129 near mile marker 4 called "The Dragon."

Polito, 29, of Perryville, Mo., was killed in the crash, and the 41-year-old Diepenbrock was flung out of sight from the motorists who get a thrill from the treacherous road's sharp curves and scenic views. With two punctured lungs, 17 breaks in 12 ribs and multiple spinal fractures, Diepenbrock couldn't move. He had no cell phone signal. He lay on the ground for 30 hours before he was rescued, yelling as he listened to every car that passed and slowly realizing that maybe; he wouldn't make it out alive.
