Motorcycle Cannonball-Daytona Beach to Tacoma on pre-'37 motorcycles

[jordy]

Have a friend involved with this run so I checked it out last night. Started with over 100 bikes making the almost 4,000 mile run in 2 weeks time. Works out to around 300 miles per day. The bikes are all pre-1937, and one of my favorites was an Indian from 1915. They've got a support crew who can only work on the bikes in the evening after the "race" is done for the day. They're on their own during the day, and if they can't get their bike up and running, the Shame Bus shows up, picks them and their bike up, and they have points deducted from the total. Same thing for getting into the evening stop after the allotted time is up.

Some very cool rigs, and a bunch of really cool guys running them. The website is: http://www.motorcyclecannonball.com/
