HOTT off the press...
With over 20 years riding experience, one of the founding members, Kurve Killa, helped to organize the club because he wanted to have a real connection with other riders. During a trip to Myrtle Beach, the six founding members got together to start HOTT MC, the club known for it’s annual Halloween Bash that has grown so large, a new location must be found for next year’s bash!

Current HOTT MC President, The Sleeper, envisions the club becoming better known and even more respectable in the community. Members of HOTT MC already given generously of their time and resources to various charities including the Virginia Arthritis Foundation and the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation. They participate in numerous walk-a-thons, help cook food for charitable events as well as donate money and encourage others to do the same. HOTT MC recently partnered with The Tuskegee Airmen, another MC club to help raise money for the ChildSavers Organization, a group that aids child victims of tragedy to cope with their experiences.

As with any club, members of HOTT MC enjoy riding together and the rush of adrenaline while riding. E-Man, HOTT MC Treasurer, put it best when he said ‘it’s easy to lose track of time when on a motorcycle’. When in a club with others you share similar interests with, it’s like being with family. For example, many members of HOTT are police officers and firefighters. They serve and protect together, and like their motto says, they ride ‘em hard, but ride with sense together.
