Meet The Rider # 1032 James Coyle

 Hello,



I'm James Coyle, also known as Road Runner among my Boozefighters Motorcycle Club
brothers. I've been living in New Hampshire for two decades, where my wife and I run Blackbird
Market and Deli, a staple in our community. Travel has always been a significant part of my life,
from moving around frequently as a child—including a stint in Singapore—to extensive road
trips across the United States and backpacking through Europe during college. These
experiences fostered my love for adventure and exploration.


Despite my mother's concerns stemming from motorcycle accidents in the past, my riding
journey began unofficially with friends' dirt bikes in Pennsylvania. By my early 30s, I was finally
able to purchase an Adventure bike, and not long after, I acquired a cherished 1997 Springer
Harley, which truly solidified my passion for motorcycling. Joining the Boozefighters expanded
my horizons further, enabling me to ride through all the lower 48 states and even to the
northern reaches of Cape Spear, Newfoundland.



This is my second attempt at the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge . Having followed the event
since 2016, I understand its demands and the mental fortitude required to navigate without
modern conveniences like GPS. This challenge represents a return to the basics of riding and an
opportunity to trust my instincts over technology.
I am committed to riding for Hope For The Day, a charity dedicated to proactive suicide
prevention through educational programs that are accessible across various community
settings. My fundraising target is $5,000, which I hope to achieve with the support of my
sponsors, including R&R Cycles in Manchester, NH, and the extensive network of friends and
family across the Boozefighters community.
Thank you for your time.
James Coyle AKA Road Runner
