If you've got an interest in old bikes, you've got to check the scheduled route for this year's Cannonball. If you can get to one of the daily stops, I guarantee it'll be worth the trip. Since it's not a race, but more of an endurance run, after check-in, most of the riders will gladly take the time to talk and show off their bikes.

I was in Maggie Valley a few years back for one of the earlier Cannonballs and on September 5, I'll be in Daytona for the start of this one. Really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the Brough Superior.
