Default IMPORTANT: Motorcycle Cannonball Run bikes stolen!

Help spread the word, and hopefully if any of these turn up for sale the thieves will be caught:

CANNONBALL MOTORCYCLES AND SUPPORT VEHICLE STOLEN

Facebook Friends: PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD

Last night, four Motorcycle Cannonball bikes and their support truck and trailer were stolen from the Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Washington. The bikes were as follows (Number 54) 1919 Harley Davidson J, (Number 73) 1926 Harley Davidson JD, (Number 76) 1931 Harley Davidson VL, (Number 99) 1928 Harley Davidson JD. The truck is a dark grey 2001 Ford F250 with Motorcycle Cannonball logos on the front doors, and the trailer is a 16 foot enclosed grey trailer with 4 windows and a large Motorcycle Cannonball logo on the rear door. I will also be posting photos of each motorcycle and the support vehicle as well.


For those of you on FB here are some links:

I wonder if the thief/thieves know what they got. Going to be hard to move that stuff anywhere.

Yeah, the major risk is that they'll strip them down and part them out. That's a lot tougher to catch.

Wow! That really sucks!! Those guys work hard to make those bikes run and ride long hours to make the event a success. What a shame.

Hundreds of years of history in the hands of some POS. Hopefully, the antique rider community will recognize any of the bikes or pieces of them showing up for sale anywhere. Then the idiot(s) that took them will find out how stupid it was.

those bikes were stolen for a rich collector with shady connections. they are tucked away in his vast collection...to be seen only by his close friends. they are not going to show up for sale by some clowns that did not know what they have. JMO
