S&P will host Cannonball Run participants

From local reports

WILLIAMSTOWN – S&P Harley-Davidson in Williamstown recently announced that they will be hosting the participants of the 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball Run on Monday, Sept. 12.

According to Kenny Hardy, general manager at S&P Harley-Davidson, this historic run, the endurance ride for century old, pre-1916 antique motorcycles will get underway in Atlantic City, N.J., on Saturday, Sept. 10, and will include riders from across the globe. With 95 entries from 25 states, nine countries and four continents, this extraordinary worldwide event will indeed be watched by the world as motorcycles of all marques tackle an arduous coast-to-coast route across America. The entire route will include less that 100-miles of interstate roadways. After a total of some 3,304 miles, the ride is slated to conclude on Sunday, Sept. 25, in Carlsbad, Calif.

“We’re proud to be hosting the participants of the race and welcome anyone to come by the dealership Monday, Sept. 12, between 11 and 1 p.m. to view these incredibly rare machines,” Hardy said.

During the MCR event, participants will ride vintage pre-1916 motorcycles such as Henderson, Indian, Triumph, Harley-Davidson, JAP, Excelsior, BSA, Thor and others. According to Hardy, the event is a timed test of both the rider’s endurance and the roadworthiness of their respective machines as they navigate America’s back roads through some of the most scenic areas of the country.
