Scooter Cannonball Run 2012


What would it be like to look out on a different part of America every morning for a week?

On Sunday morning scooter riders from across the country will be in Savannah, Georgia to embark on the 2012 Cannonball Run -- an eight day, 2500 mile race to Motorsport Scooters in San Diego, California.  It's a big ride for a scooter.

I would have forgotten had it not been for the timely email notification from Scootin' Old Skool -- thanks Orin!

The biannual race is fun to follow as the riders make their way across America.  There are a variety of places to keep up with the action and informative for anyone considering a scooter but have doubts about their capabilities.  Vespa, Piaggio, Yamaha, Kymco, Stella, SYM, Honda and Suzuki are all represented.  There's even a 1961 Sears scooter in the race.

As a former owner, I'm rooting for the Honda Passport!

Steve:

are you hinting about pointing your GTS towards Vancouver and arrive here in a few days ? Our snow has been replaced with rain

Charlie6: Not sure if the Canonball is on my bucket list. There are times it sounds cool but then on other days I ask "what's the rush?".

The only thing I'm sure of is that the bucket is getting closer...

Barron: Those Honda Passport bikes are great!
