While I was out riding today. At one of our stops for drink. The conversation came up of doing a Cannonball with the scoots. Every rider throw $20 in a hat. All leave the same start, the first one to the destination gets the coin. That sure would be a blast to be a part of. Just to watch to Chaos. It sure would be interesting.

The Willy Wonka song (new version) in the background of that video made me not watch it.

You will need to make it $100 and have at least 30 people to make it worth it...I mean after the tickets and what not the finisher will need at least $3K to fight the tickets.

In this day in time doing that would just get you tossed in jail, bike impounded, and your life changed forever. This is not the 1960's anymore.

all the fun stuff seems to be illegal, because it is considered unsafe.

And that is the best music for all their clips, whoever they hired is doing some serious crack.

when a government has to much power and not enough to worry about they become the "fun police" as well.

Actually it used to be done here quite a bit back in the day. A group used to do it and then say where the destination was. One of the guys I rode with was a part of it once in a while back in the day. Generally from what I have been told, about 60 or so miles in lengh. Didn't say I would organize one. But it would be meet to see one action.

New version? That's a techno version sampling the old movie... (because the vocal sample is Gene Wilder).

I guess I needed to listen longer it sounded like Johnny Depp version (that was the worst movie of all time). Either way Willy Wonka (Charlie Factory) is not a good thing to add to a riding video...LOL
