Motorcycle Cannonball Run endurance stopped at Harley-Davidson Museum and I had the opportunity to take the shots of bikers and their bikes.
The bikers ride on these motorcycles: Excelsior, Henderson, H-D, BSA, BMW, Sunbeam, Rudge, Triumph, Velocette.
In case you haven't heard about the Motorcycle Cannonball event, here is a brief description:
In 2010, Lonnie Isam organized the first Motorcycle Cannonball, in honor of "Cannonball" Baker's historic 11 day cross country ride.
In the 2010 run, 45 riders started on the pier at Kitty Hawk, NC and 37 finished at the Santa Monica, CA pier.
All were riding motorcycles built before 1916, and 10 of them achieved perfect scores, covering every one of the 3294 miles under their own power.
In 2012, Isam is reprising the Cannonball. The route will run from Newburgh, NY (just outside New York City) to San Francisco, CA, from September 7th through the 23rd.
75 riders from 12 different countries make up this ride and travel almost 300 miles every day.
This time the route will be longer (just under 4,000 miles) and more difficult (passing over the high Rockies), but he is allowing motorcycles built before 1930 to join the fun.
