    Harley News: Classic Harley Engine & Parts Stolen From Motorcycle Cannonball

    PLEASE SHARE THIS POST – MOTORCYCLE CANNONBALL THEFT UPDATE!!

    On the night of 23 September, 2014, thieves made off with a truck, trailer, motorcycles, parts, riding gear, tools, and luggage from the Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Washington. We at American Iron Magazine have been supporters of the Motorcycle Cannonball from the start and want to do anything we can to help recover all the stolen items to the rightful owners. 

    This rig and these motorcycles had just completed the 4,000 mile Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run from Florida to Washington. Within two days and the help of concerned citizens worldwide, the truck, trailer, and four motorcycles were recovered. There are still tens of thousands of dollars in missing tools, spare parts, luggage, gear, and equipment. Any individuals with leads on the location of this property are urged to contact Buck Carson at 936-239-6615, or email to carsonclassicmotors@yahoo.com.

    Team CCM is offering a $5,000 reward for the safe return of all spare parts, tools, luggage, riding gear, and related equipment from the recovered trailer. Complete listings of missing items can be found at www.stolencannonballbikes.com%2F&h=YAQHYBt4n&enc=AZPOe4alkAAz100392spUpj7N7MVfV8y_KV7H2cP6mOxNCtKkyS08dT8XnQH47xabLp8sMAXGg7AI7MlcaeL61SWphTLDR98oIhMf5pP_LewsOfQu5UXCgraIYvMG9mQS1U&s=1" style="color: #3b5998;">www.stolencannonballbikes.com, and www.aimag.com and will be updated as items are discovered or added to the list.

    From Buck Carson, the owner of the shop transporting the bikes-

    ALL FOUR MOTORCYCLES RECOVERED. Spare parts are gone, spare engines gone, and some small things stripped off. Appears that the trailer was located in the Port of Tacoma, ready to be shipped overseas. THANK YOU to all for helping spread the word.

    I shared this story on facebook and would suggest that all of us on cyclefish do as well. These parts are not your run of the mill items and the more people who know about the theft the better.
