Motorcycle Cannonball in Iowa !










Pretty darn cool that Mason City Harley-Davidson had the Motorcycle Cannonball stop by for a break with free food and drinks for everyone - way cool dudes !   I ran over to check it out on my lunch hour.  On the freeway I caught up with a few (doin' a solid 57mph) on those pre-1930 bikes . . . really neat to see against the Iowa fields.

A bit of wrenchin' was takin' place as soon as those "sewin' machine sounding motors" came poppin' in from the road.  Said "hey" to Jeff Decker and Michael Lichter (Jeff addin' a bit of synthetic lubricants to keep everything . . . well. . . . lubed )  All motorcycles have these map-like deals on the handlebars which outline the route for the day . . . and each participant gets one every morning.  Kinda cool.  I talked to Matt Olsen and he was doin' great - a few tack welds on the rear fender, and a funky seat - but, he looked good for another 2000 miles.  Tonite they stop in Spirit Lake, Iowa and check out the newly, emerging Indian Factory . . . Yes, the marque will be manufactured, brought back to life, in of all places . . . Iowa !
