Antique Motorcycle Cannonball 2016 Hi! I'm looking for some support to help with the cost of participating in the 2016 Antique Motorcycle Cannonball Run (race from Atlantic City to San Diego in 16 days on a year motorcyle for those of you that don't know what it is). I have procured the bike and I bought a used toy hauler for my support crew but could use some help with additional funds to compensate my friends that are going to have to take off of work for three plus weeks to support me for hotel rooms, airfare and gas money for a toy hauler. I'm looking at you AMCA folks; if only 6000 of the 24,000 plus of you on facebook could donate $1 it would help immensly. Thanking you in advance for you anticipated response. Peace, Ben. JUNE 12th our HOG Picnic is fast approaching please mark this date to be sure to attend! Jim & Patty Huselton will be blessing bikes at the picnic, if your interested. This is a picture of Ben Brown's 1915 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that he will be riding in this years Antique Motorcyle Cannonball Run. The ride is from Atlantic City to San Diego. Both Ben Brown and his motorcycle will be at our dealership and on display during our Open House event on Saturday May 21st at McMahon s. Please stop in and see the bike and talk to Ben and show your support for this once in a li ime event. This Run is extremelty rare and having one of our own local Beaver County Na ves being a par cipant is unbelievable. Again please stop in take some pics, talk to Ben, and show some support for him.
