Antique Motorcycles Ride Across America
October 3, 2014
Imagine, for a moment, taking a 4,000 mile trip through the back roads of America. Imagine taking that trip on a motorcycle. And, imagine that your motorcycle is nearly a century old. Imagine over 100 other riders on motorcycles built before 1937, cruising with you down the most scenic highways in the U.S., covering 300 miles per day, and pushing those antique motorcycles to their limits all the way from Daytona to Tacoma.
Instill this scene in your mind.
Now, stop imagining and check out this awesome video from the actual trip:

This is a real event, that really happened, and man it is as real as it gets. Of the 105 riders that left Daytona, only 84 made it to Washington on September 21. Following the motorcyclists was the “school bus of shame”, picking up fallen riders and broken down antique motorcycles.
This epic journey was a true endurance test, a testament to man and machine, and a simply amazing time and place to ride and be alive. You can read all about the adventure on the Motorcycle Cannonball website here:
