Calling All Cannonballers!

Calling all Scooter Cannonballers!

I'm planning a Cannonball-themed issue for Bumpstart # 6 and would love to hear from all my fellow Cannonballers, past and present. Regardless of how well you placed or if you even finished, you all are freakin' badasses who should let the scooter community hear your tales from the road. I would also love to hear from those driving support vehicles and the film crew who joined us this past summer.

I know how creative you guys got during this endurance event, now express your Cannonball Run tales by word, photos, haiku, dirty limericks, interviews, personal ads, missed connections, police tickets.....

Looking forward to hearing from you crazy bastards, uh I mean road warriors....

Scooter Cannonball Run - Rally Against Depression

It's official, I'm doing Scooter Cannonball Run! I'm excited to be taking part in this epic ten day scooter ride across North America. To see Canada and the USA on a Vespa will be so rewarding on many levels. I'm also riding to raise awareness for those suffering from Mental Illness. I have friends and family who are afflicted by this illness, so this charity is close to my heart. I've been working with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to learn more about mental health programs that lack funding. To learn more about NAMI click here. Money raised will be going to a group home for the mentally ill.

Large monetary donations will get advertisement space on my Vespa and Website.
To donate online go to my Paypal Rally Against Depression account.I know times are tough for many of us, but anything you can give is appreciated.

I'm also looking for some Cannonball Run trainers, so anyone looking to go for long scooter or bicycle rides give me a shout.

Those handsome Men of Scootering.

I've been wanting to do a scooter calendar for a couple years now, but never seemed to have the time to put one together. Recently while I was cleaning, I found the Vespa Club of Canada's 2000 Calendar (i.e. "those handsome Men of Scootering") that a friend loaned to me for inspiration. The VCOC always does a great job with their club merchandise - I'll be breaking out my VCOC scarf pretty soon that fall is here.

They did a great job on the calendar and the photos and bios are keepers. Let's go back in time and take a look at Canada's handsome Men of Scootering 2000.
