In Two weeks we will pick the winner for the cannonball golden ticket project. The cannonball golden ticket is an opportunity for someone to win an all expense paid trip to go ride my 1936 knucklehead on the 2014 cannonball. My dad will be riding his 36 el and Brittney, my son and I will be running chase truck and supporting both riders. Harley Davidson stepped up and donated a second place prize for someone from any where in the world to go and visit the Harley Museum and get a behind the scenes look at the archives.
Here is a pic of my bike from the maternity photos that I shot with Brittney a few months ago. I have owned it for over ten years and ridden it and pushed it to its limits. It is the oldest Harley Davidson to complete an Iron Butt Run, and the oldest bike to do one with a passenger. I am comfortable in saying that it is the only bike that will be running the cannonball in September that has been ridden 24 hours straight and gone 1100 miles in less that 24 hours. Even though a 36 el is over 75 years old, it performs like a new bike. and holds up really well. who ever wins the Cannonball Golden Ticket, will have 2 of the best weeks of their life.
Surprisingly, I have not had very many people sign up for the a chance to win either prize. I expected people to be doing back flips over this project, but apparently it is difficult for someone to take 3 weeks off from their job. This is a factor that I didn't consider when I came up with the project, because I wouldn't think twice about quitting a job to go ride a knucklehead from Florida to Washington state. The odds of winning are really good for the few people who have signed up, and the odds are good for anyone else that has been waiting till the last minute to sign up.There are still 2 weeks to enter online and throught Mail, Go to www.cannonballgoldenticket.com to find out more on how you can win the trip of a life time and the ultimate old bike experience.
