Arrow The Ultimate Antique Bike Endurance Event: Coast to coast on 95 years old motorcycles

The 2010 and 2013 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run:

From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the Cannonball crew formed by 19 riders of the near 70 that started, survived 16 stages and nearly 4000 miles across the United States this year.

The winner of both competitions: a twin 1913 Excelsior; a 100 years old relative to our modern Ninjettes.

"The rules were as follows: “The machine must be powered by an original engine. Many things could be changed on a machine, and updates made for safety’s sake, but the core of the motorcycle must be 95 years old or older.” Updated brakes were recommended, and it was suggested that for safety reasons some riders not run “clincher” tires. Each would have contemporary lighting in lieu of the original carbides of the day. An original carburetor was required, although it could be modified or rebuilt."

Old bikes rock !!!
