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.

SAVANNAH

Today is meet and greet and lots of scooter maintenance.





 The scooter to beat. 1946 Salisbury




 Vespa Savannah had a great reception for us
The pit crew even did tattoos of Big Red's number


 Vespa laundry

They worked on this all day
 Then the rain came

 Then the movie stars came out.

 Then the body refueling truck came in (only southerners again will get this)
 Another round of Deb's fine Champagne

 Damn, his hair is long as our tails!!


And finally, Jim, the Curmudgeon of England and an all around right guy and Vespa expert.


We are off bright and early tomorrow.  Hopefully I will have pictures and a tail tomorrow in Troy Alabama.
