Hat's off to the Cannonballers

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 19:45:04 -0700

Tom Hart and I rode out to see them in Burns, Oregon. Rode 860 miles in 19 hrs. It was quite the treat and we got a heck of a kick out of it. We caught them on the road and Slow Joe was well ahead of the pack. Got to see the Wolf pack roar buy, got to meet Mark Hill, Tom Mcbride, George Yarocki and Jeff Alperin, Josh Wilson and several others. It was very cool, they seemed in good spirits. Even the support crews were in great spirrits, I was impressed for sure. I think Lonnie and folks have done another great job. Hat's off to all the Cannonballers! and thanks to this and other sites for letting us ride along - great fun.

Motorcycle Cannonball Blog & Updates

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:13:55 -0700

I am blogging as often as I can about the details leading up to the Motorcycle Cannonball cross country ride on pre-1930 motorcycles on http://www.classic-harley.info.

I also plan on blogging along the way across the country on my 1929 Harley JDH if I have the time.

Today my 1929 Harley did not start easily or run well. And this bike ALWAYS starts easily and runs well. Care to guess what the problem is and the cure? My latest update was today at http://classic-harley.info/?p=630

Good Luck Doug Wothke

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 05:52:43 -0700

I just want to wish my buddy GuzziDoug Wothke good luck on this years Cannonball. Although this is his first he is a well known long distance antique rider, check out his travels at the link below, also read his intro in the riders section for his special message for the HD riders. My bet is he will do well and will be there at the end.

I'm planning on catching up to the ride in Ohio, good luck to all the riders. Ride safe!

Looking for speeders like Matt Olsen?

I hear this guy heard about Matt Olsen's first efforts on the Cannonball and his speed.

Matt had better watch out on the upcoming one or he will be in for one pretty bad honeymoon!
