Race of the Century

[Ed Hobgood]

Went to Cape Girardeau, MO yesterday afternoon to check out all the vintage motorcycles. The Race Of The Century is a race across the country a total of 3300 miles with motorcycles at least 100 years old. This is really something to see if you haven't been around old motorcycles. They are leaving this morning and heading to Springfield Missouri for the next part of the race. My wife said that's not a very long distance but I tell her that if you were riding a 100 year old motorcycle with very little padding on your butt that's a long ride for a day. Anyway if you see the race is going to be anywhere around you, you should make plans to attend, you will not be sorry.

Thanks for the link Randy....very interesting.
Ir is amazing to see these survivor bikes actually being ridden.
Now we know who the "Pickers" are selling all those old rusty bike bits and pieces to.

They were 30 miles south of me on Tues and can kick myself in the ass for not leaving work to go see them.
