Yeah man. I took too much stuff actually.

a song of clown and fire

Thanks. Check my "after" Cannonball video where I go over what worked good and what I would have changed.

LOL ... I have a new video coming soon with the "before/after" comparison

I'll have two sets...

8 days 3100 miles... if I make it that far

​@@JohnnyPowRides John, Why do you say, "if I can make it that far?" Your Vespa 300 seems in great shape. You've got a spare CVT replacement belt and tubeless flat repair. The only thing I would suggest is not running it at full throttle all day... unless the course requires it because of extreme distance requirements. Yeah, if your forced to keep it hammered all day, that could result in premature internal engine failure. I know, some of the guys will pay the bucks and have a whole rebuilt spare engine and/or parts on their trailer. All sorts of spare stuff to keep them going. Those are really serious contenders. I've watched some of the original Cannonball motorcycle videos from some years ago... the ones that use the old, first motor bikes ever made. And that was a horrendous battle because these things would breakdown virtually every day. A number of these guys were also professional machinests and they had their own machine shop in their trailer and would remanufacture parts at night and repair their bikes necessary to start again the next day. They would all help each other out. There was great camaraderie. Fabulous to watch. After a while they would just re-machine the same worn out parts night after night so that they could finish. They road all day and worked all night, catching a couple hours of sleep early in the morning. Just nuts... Gord

I am going solo!

@@JohnnyPowRides Wishing you well..

@@hondamonkeyboy thank you for the wishes and for following along!

"Rally Tripmeter" just the free version I think, I'm only using it as a odometer

It’s a fire extinguisher mount I found on Amazon. Typically used to clamp to a roll bar or something on a SxS or 4wd

I was wondering the same!

Columbia

On the scootercannonball.com website there’s an interactive map

Nice meeting ya Pam

@@JohnnyPowRides You too buddy! Let's do it again in 2025 🤘💥

I forget the exact number but I weighed it when loaded and it was around 400 pounds if I recall

So adding about 100 pounds, not as bad as I first thought! @@JohnnyPowRides

already thought of that lol

I'm sure I'll need a BC powder at some point for one reason or another

I’m a new rider that does high mileage with a genuine hooligan 170. How many years/miles until we need a new bike even after proper maintained

Sorry about the congestion - this was the only time I had left to shoot this video because I didn’t mention it but I had the bike loaded up in the driveway waiting for the Motoshippers truck (at the end of the video) which was on the way right then. I have narrow nasal passage and makes it easy for me to get congested and hard to breathe through my nose always. It sucks.

I was reading through the comments and thought it must be just me, then I saw your comment. Sure hope he's better soon, no fun riding when you're a bit under the weather. Good luck dude!

@@1960ARC sorry about the sniffing. Congestion is my life sometimes. This was recorded two weeks again. I’m in Cali now, with the bike, and feel great!
