I am Michael Moore rider # 1086 ( aka Coach)
Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge 2026 will be my 3rd Hoka Hey Challenge. I’ve been riding legally since 1986.
I’m a US Navy veteran USNA c/o 1985 retired Special Operations Officer (
Diver/ EOD) New Jersey native. So CA resident. Riding long distance has
always been a “reset” for me. I would use my saved leave and upon
returning from deployments , point my bike east, south or north and just
ride. Then marriage, kids and shifting priorities.
Coaching youth football is how I achieved my road name. Traci and I have 5 kids together, 4 boys 1 girl. The oldest (29)
is
in Bahrain - US Navy (IT/ Cyber warfare) he’s been forward deployed for
3 yrs. He escaped when the missiles started flying. More family trivia:
Older brother-retired Naval officer USNA c/o 1985, younger brother
-Navy nuclear power trained. Daughter -LTJG USN, USNA c/o 2024. Son-in
law 2nd LT USMC (R) USNA c/o 2025 plays safety for NFL Jax Jaguars.
Our
2nd to youngest son succumbed to an awful rare child bone cancer (
Ewing Sarcoma) on Feb. 22, 2025. He was only 16. I left the trail early
in HHMC 2024 due to his relapse. The last Moore child at home will
graduate HS in 2027. I will be riding for littlewarrior.org the only
foundation solely dedicated to research , treatment and discovery of
positive protocols to combat this insidious disease. Traci and I are
launching a foundation in Bryce’s honor.
I
am fortunate to be sponsored by Lifestyles cycles. A mega used Harley
retailer with an online store and a riding group #LCRG of which I’m also
a ride manager.
