    Cool 2016 Motorcyle Cannonball Run

    Vintage motorcycles leaving Atlantic City this A.M. heading to Carlsbad CA. First days midday stop was at a local HD dealership. Check out this site(http://www.motorcyclecannonball.com/theroute) to see if they are coming by you. These are 1916 or older rides making there way across the U.S. over the next 14 days with a one day rest period. I took some pictures today of some of the early riders arrival. I passed many still on there way to todays mid day stop on my way home. I will try to get some pictures posted, maybe tomorrow.

    I have (had) a friend riding in this for the first time. Unfortunately, this was the status of his bike as of an hour ago. Thankfully, he is okay!!

    Glad he came out OK. That could have been bad! What kind of bike was it?

    As I understand it, John lost his bike to the fire after a pushrod broke and the tappet went up through the gas tank. The bike burned for a good 15 minutes (approx) and will require a LOT of time, money and effort to be ridden again. As I understand it, the lunch break at the Harley dealership was at MM 110 yesterday and John's incident happened between MM 90-95.

    Although I feel for my friend for all the time, money, heart and soul he put in to finding and restoring this beautiful machine, it is only an object and can be replaced. He is okay (although slightly singed around the edges I guess) and that is the important thing!!

    He was riding a 1916 Harley.

    This was just a few of the bikes. They were scattered out over several hours and couldn't stay and wait for them all.
    Get out to see them if you can!!

    They will be staggered out for several hours most likely so be prepared to wait or show up a little late to have allowed a larger portion of the riders to arrive.
