In 15 hours at time of this posting, (tomorrow Friday 5th at 8 a.m. ET), 115 riders on their pre-1937 antique motorcycles are going to start their machines for a more than 5000-mile endurance run from Daytona Beach, Florida to Tacoma, Washington. Right now, some participants are still on the parking lot of the Daytona Beach Resort tuning up their bikes while others are making road tests in the the city or doing a few spins around track of the famous International Speedway.

For all those who requested the rules of this 3rd Cannonball Endurance Run, I list them below. After the jump, see the list of all participants, their motorcycle models and bike numbers for you to identify them on the road and at each stage arrival and departure.

Rules of the Ride: These machines are old and most are very rare. A lot of these early bikes would not be on the road today were it not for new parts. In a lot of cases only the motor survived to be resurrected into its former self. As long as the engine in the machine is original it is eligible to run for the prize. Any reproduction chassis or parts should be as they were originally.

Brakes. We are all aware that 100 years ago, brakes were not that good. If in any way riders can improve their bike braking ability, to the point of even adding a front brake, then it is highly recommended. Carburetors and Mags. The original carbs, whether modified or updated some, need to be used, with spares allowed. Each bike to use it’s intended ignition source, spares allowed. The Tires. The tires are very important. The argument for or against the safety of clincher tires has long been a debate. If a rider don’t want to run clincher rims and tires, then he doesn’t have to. Spares allowed. The lights. Each motorcycle must have a headlight, taillight, and brake light.
