Yesterday Sunday, the last day of the Motorcycle Cannonball included 101 miles, a dust storm, warm temperatures and several breakdowns. But they made it.
Carlsbad, California residents rolled out the red carpet and stood cheering as 67 worn and weary riders made history on Sunday afternoon.
The end of an epic journey across our great nation was witnessed by enthusiastic crowds as the 100-plus year old machines chugged along the shores of the Pacific ocean. Complete report to follow. Results after the jump.
Very impressive, a tribute to the toughness of the riders and the machines. Well done!
Congratulations to all
Respect to everyone of the riders. Everyone is a winner to endure such a challenge. To see these guys and ladies in action in the evening and then accomplishing each day’s challenge over and over again, much respect. Respect to Steve Rinker of WV who built 4 1916 Powerplus motorcycles for himself, family and a friend and each one ran well and made it to the end.
Congrats to all the finishers. Respect! . peace
GREAT JOB TO ALL THE RIDERS AND CREWS !!
This is way cool…. Well done all….!!!
Now, just imagine someone trying to “re-brand” this event for the “modern fan”…. 🙁
-nicker-
congrats to all riders.crews and staff.
Congratulations to a Fantastic job of self discipline, respect for your machine, and taking advantage of a great opportunity that few of us have to participate in. Thank you for showing us so many historical machines still being ridden and not stowed away in a museum. That had to be thrilling.
