So I set my sights on 2023.”⁠ ⁠ He rebuilt the motor and addressed any part of the bike that could break down. The Cannonball runs through mountain passes, so Cameron trained for a year leading up to the race knowing he would have to use the 3½ horsepower bike’s pedals to get over them. ⁠ ⁠ The race began in Virginia Beach, Va., on Sept. 7, and for 16 days competitors rode about 250 miles each day. “This is the best way to see America—at 40 mph on the seat of a vintage motorcycle,” Cameron said.⁠ ⁠ The racers reached the finish line in Oceanside, Calif., after 16 days and 3,800 miles. Out of 77 riders, Cameron took the top spot riding the oldest bike with the smallest motor.⁠ ⁠ “I was stoked!” he said. “My Indian won overall and was the oldest motorcycle ever to win the Cannonball.” ⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷: Stephanie Nortiz for @wsjphotos」10月12日 10時00分
