The Scooter Cannonball Run is a coast to coast endurance event for scooters. It is a time/distance/regularity rally where points are awarded based on miles completed and the ability to maintain the standard pace. This year it will begin in Savannah, GA and end eight days later in San Diego, CA covering 2633 miles. There are over 50 entrants riding all types of scooters. From a 1946 Salibury to a modern 3 wheel Piaggo MP3. I have decided join the fun this year. We will leave Savannah on April 22 and head west. I will be riding to raise money for KIDS and LEMUR'S charities. Please help us by purchasing some miles for one of these charities. Don't worry, I will be covering close to 6,000 miles out to California and back to Florida, so there are plenty of miles to go around. ALL monies go directly to the charity.

Got a late start today at 7:10.and arrived at 14:23- a fair time.   Leaving late, almost everyone was in front of me so I rode all day without seeing many riders.

Long rolling hills and chilly temperatures. Not a lot of pictures.

Still in 2nd place with everyone else.

A long day tomorrow to Abilene with temp's reaching 103!!!!!  So, Good Night.

"Scooter Raton" riding his 1967 Vespa GT.  I enjoyed the smell of his 2 stroke oil for a while

 For an old bike he was hauling.

 Sadly, he ended up "on the trailer". But he ain't quitting. Tomorrow morning, parts will arrive and he will overhaul his engine in the parking lot.

 Riders looking for shade at the hotel

Remember the "pitty tyrant" saying "you will break down"? He did.

Even Patrick, the master of ceremonies for the event, broke down.  His exhaust happened to break right where I was refueling from a can in the middle of nowhere.
