Now those guys got some iron asses.
|
I saw Bowling Green, and thought 'Oh, shit, I might try to catch those guys in Bowling Green (thinking KY).
Then I saw OH (meaning Ohio), and thought, 'Oh.' |
They're riding by dental floss ranches today.

♪ ♫Into the great wide open♪ ♫
♪ ♫Under them skies of blue♪ ♫ On iron that old, I hope their skies are blue. |
In the list of cool things this ranks quite high.
|
They have loosened the rules this year to include those cushy modern bikes built from 1917 way up to 1929. But they did limit the field to 123 riders/bikes unleashed on American roads. :haha:
|
I see they are going from Billings MT to Great Falls MT tomorrow. Those are some unfriendly roads to be on with a slow bike.

Keeping tabs on the Cannonball run is like watching a professional sports team. A bunch of millionaires with some free time.
On a side note I always wanted a Harley until I got one. I have spent more money on this bike than all the metrics I've ever had. That said as soon as the flood waters recede I will pick up a 99 Kawasaki Nomad with 14k miles for 2k. Pictures will be posted when I get it. Don't tell Jim. |

Leather swingarm bags...
|
Wouldn't that add to the un sprung weight?
|
Yup, and shake the hell out of anything in the bag. That's the price of cool.
|
I have one made by ' American Rider ' out of vinyl. Nothing rolls around inside as it is so small I have to cram stuff in.,
|
I wouldn't have thought that would be a great idea.
Ain't there a lot of 'movement' around them there parts?:eyebrow: Damn cool flap, though! |
