Default Cannonball stop in Kingman, AZ today...

I wanted to "shadow" them sooooo bad, especially as they make one of my favorite runs up the 1926 lay of Route 66 up Black Mtn through Oatman after their break/lunch here at Mother Road HD in Kingman. All I could do was take a long lunch and admire the bikes and the riders. Never saw so many oil puddles and oil soaked rear wheels. No......not just the HD's!

The 70 were down to 40 when I left the office and word today was Buddy Stubbs was a complete breakdown at Hackberry General Store 18 miles back up 66. I'm afraid the mountain pass is going to take a few more this afternoon.

It was something to see. Those old bikes, some covered in oil and most pieced together for the ride not the museum. Looking at our heritage of heel/toe shifters and the linkage on 1915 HD's was very cool.

I took a lot of pics of the bikes today in Kingman.

Will upload them and post a link here later tonight.

Here's the link to the pics, click on "slideshow" to view them all, there's about 200 of them. I think I got all the bikes at least once.

Did Buddy get his bike fixed so that he could continue on?
