Default cannonball run

dont know if anyone has put it on here, but the cannonball run has started.the motorcycles are 1916 year bikes or older, they are traveling 3000 thousands miles across the united states. stopping in different towns.google cannonball run if you are interested in seeing if they are coming near you.they are coming through tupelo ms this wed, and i think through ark the next day.
should be fun to check them out if you can.

If anyone wants to follow the progress of the cannonball, here is a link. http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/index.php

Ironically the chase vehicle broke down.

Enjoy and ride safe,

Bob.

You can follow the Cannonball Run directly here. Looks like fun if your pre-1916 motorcycle is up to the task.

Also, American Iron Magazine editor Buzz Kantor is a participant.

And Dale Walksler from the Wheels Through Time Museum.

It's been fun and interesting following this race so far.

On the 24th they stop here in Kingman for lunch before they tackle the old stretch of Rt 66 up through Oatman. Looks like they will take Rt 66 right past our neighborhood also.

Wonder if they allow tag vehicles? Hope I can take that day to check them out.
