#309147 newroadie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 341 Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   I rode down to Maggie Valley, NC this weekend and had a great time. The first vintage motorcycle Cannonball Run arrived in Maggie Valley Sunday afternoon and left Monday morning headed for the Santa Monica, Ca. The run is for motorcycles made before 1916. There were 70 entries, 44 made the start. It was great seeing all of the old bikes putting around. The website is www.motorcyclecannonball.com .   Logged     \\[IMG\\]http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii12/26curry/DSC05909-1.jpg;size=450]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #309159 BadBikerBob (User) "Ride your Roadie like a Rice Rocket!" Expert Boarder Posts: 403 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   Yeah, that CannonBall run is stopping in Tupelo, MS tomorrow (between 11-2 PM at Ballard Park if any of you locals can come, I'll be there!) All bikes pre-1916, some only go 25 MPH. I guess the winner of this race won't be the fastest bike, only the one that breaks down the least!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #309173 oneperfectrun (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 926 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   I had heard they were gonna be in Tupelo but I was thinking it was gonna be Saturday.   Logged     Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access. #309203 BadBikerBob (User) "Ride your Roadie like a Rice Rocket!" Expert Boarder Posts: 403 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   It is today. My riding buddy, Raven (who works for FireGuard which is sponsering the Tupelo stop) dropped me off a couple of posters to hang in my store (Meineke) & it showed the date as today. I took off work to see it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #309211 RoadieFF (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2599 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   I went to Kitty Hawk last Friday for the opening ceremonies and green flag start, some really neat old bikes. We followed after them for a while, some didn't make it five miles before mechanical troubles forced them to do some road side repairs. I imagine they all require daily work during or after the days run. I don't think I could go cross country on one, they certainly earned my respect.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #309298 BadBikerBob (User) "Ride your Roadie like a Rice Rocket!" Expert Boarder Posts: 403 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   I saw them today at the park where they stopped for lunch/repairs. They really earned my respect today too after I saw how you have to start a motorcycle with no starter or kickstarter! Most of them had to pedal to get rolling & then pop the clutch or start it on the centerstand, get the wheel spinning, release the centerstand & hop on really quick while the bike is moving! The oldest bike there was a 1907 British JAP Flying Broom ridden by a very nice German girl. Her husband was racing also on a 1913 BSA.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #309300 oneperfectrun (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 926 Re:Coast to Coast Cannonball Run 7 Years, 5 Months ago   I had to work today but I saw many bikes! I figured they were around to look at all the old bikes. Very nice day today for such an event.   Logged     Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access.
