Cannon Ball 2018, coast to coast. Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. about..3400 miles.
One hundred and five entries departed. Harley and Indian well represented with several Henderson fours. Many across the pond entries. A trio of one lung Snorton's that came from " down under ", a pair of Broughs.
One of their stops was a three hour drive south of my from door. So we booked a overnight and watched them roll into the Indian m/c plant parking lot around 4pm..in small groups or singularly. After ck in at the official Cannon Ball tent they proceeded to the parking lot for photo op's and questions from the large group of fans.
The next morning at the nearby Ramada Inn.. 100 years of motorcycle history in cast iron was kicked, pushed and coaxed into life. Many machines seemed up to the challenge … particularly the Henderson fours...others snorted, pop'd, back fired, sputtered and seemed reluctant to continue... but perhaps that's the nature of the beast.
It was a great to see history come to smoky smelly life.
