Scooter Cannonball 2016: Cannonball - Day 10
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/cannonball-day-10.html
Friday, July 15, 2016. Cannonball - Day 10. July 14th, 2016. Hamilton, MT to Walla Walla, WA (280 Miles). Today we left Montana, then drove through Idaho, and into Walla Walla, WA. Right as I was turning on Highway 12 into. The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest. My Sena locked up. I knew there was a reset button the back which meant stopping, finding something like a paperclip (I didn't pack that tool) and doing a reset. Time being what it was, I pressed on. With a stroll along the river. Mike and I w...

Friday, July 22, 2016. Post Cannonball - Day 7 (24th Day of Riding). July 21st, 2016. Independence, MO to Bella Vista, AR (194 Miles). All repairs done, heat index low (at least at 8am) and Mike and I are off. This is the home stretch for me. And it will give Mike a few days rest before returning to California. I understand it's his wedding anniversary next week and he would be in less than poor condition if he missed that. But I started ticking off the last few miles. But this is the end of my story.

Scooter Cannonball 2016: Cannonball - Day 5
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/july-9th-2016-nevada-mo-to-lincoln-ne.html
Sunday, July 10, 2016. Cannonball - Day 5. Nevada, MO to Lincoln, NE (355 Miles). Still no total score tally on the main site. I may need to work with the raw data to see where I am, but I'm hoping to be moving up some. But it was pretty in it's own way. Manhattan and Kansas State. Then the local Lincoln scooter group showed up and we rolled out to dinner at the. Where Mike and I made new friends. And the day is done. Tomorrow, Valentine, Nebraska and the Sand Hills.

Scooter Cannonball 2016: Post Cannonball - Day 4 & Day 5
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/post-cannonball-day-day-5.html
Thursday, July 21, 2016. Post Cannonball - Day 4 and Day 5. So I finally missed a day. I'll mash them both up in one post. July 19th, 2016. Rapid City, SD (about 150 Miles just goofing around). We spent the morning getting a new tire mounted on the rear of Mike's scooter. Funny thing was that a BMW/Yamaha shop. Was the only one in the area to have a scooter tire of that size. Nobody knows why it was even ordered, but we are glad they did. I'm sure I saw something interesting. Mountain at the same time.

Scooter Cannonball 2016: Cannonball - Day 1
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/cannonball-day-1.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2016. Cannonball - Day 1. July 5th, 2017. Fernandina Beach, FL. To Anderson, SC (335 Miles). We finally get to start! Well, maybe not thunder. But at least the two strokes smoke. We did get split in traffic today. Marty went ahead with Bob (BigKart - the white Helix), Frank hung with me, and Mike was back with Steve Hess (Riding a Honda Reflex). This would be the configuration all day. North Georgia in Aonia:. And some rough tar in South Carolina:. And day one was done:. Cannonball - D...

Scooter Cannonball 2016: Cannonball - Day 4
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/cannonball-day-4.html
Friday, July 8, 2016. Cannonball - Day 4. Cape Girardeau, MS to Nevada, MO (340 Miles). Today was a good day of riding. Standings are not posted yet, but I will make sure to add the link to the results page to the links section. Also, the lens on my Sena needed to be rotated, so the pics and video are off kilter. Sorry. I fixed it in the hotel tonight so this should be fine tomorrow. Probably because I wore the rain gear, we started out with beautiful clear skies. But no drops fell. Day 4 in the books.

Scooter Cannonball 2016: Post Cannonball - Day 2 (19th Day of Riding)
http://scootercannonball2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/post-cannonball-day-2-19th-day-of-riding.html
Monday, July 18, 2016. Post Cannonball - Day 2 (19th Day of Riding). July 17th, 2016. Spokane, WA to Bozeman, MT (410 Miles). Wrenched on the bikes a bit first thing in the morning. I cleaned off my clutch after finding and fixing a breather tube hose crack. That should fix my chatter. On Mikes, he found that the repaired oil line which was still seeping could still take half a turn on the wrench. We will ride on and see how the repairs take. And some storms between Butte and Bozeman. Cannonball - Day 10.
