This looks like it could be a fun adventure and would be a great promotional event for your motologs. It doesn’t seem to have much interest at this time, but I bet with a bit of social media attention this could be a big thing.
If you don’t already have a scooter, they tend to run fairly cheap so you could probably just buy one at the starting location and sell it at the ending location if you didn’t want to take it home.
The event runs on evenly numbered years and reverses direction from one year to the next. For 2018 the course will be run from the West Coast to the East coast.
There is a year and a half to get ready for it.
The website description:
“The Scooter Cannonball Run is a coast to coast endurance event for scooters. It is a test of both rider and machine that covers 3500 miles and takes in some of the best motorcycle roads on the North American continent. It will be run as a time/distance/regularity rally where points are awarded based on miles completed and the ability to maintain the standard pace.”
Currently the route is open to suggestion.
2018 route proposals basic guidelines.
“Remember these are concept routes. You do not need to worry about hotels, checkpoints, or even the exact road selection. Once a route concept has been voted on these specifics will be refined. Time of year and total number of days will be taken into consideration at a later date. Alumni should anticipate voting on route proposals in the first half of 2017 so starting and ending locations and dates can be determined at least 1 year in advance of the event.
- Both alumni and rookies are encouraged to propose routes.
- Total mileage should be under 4000 miles.
- Canadian routes are permissible however routes through Mexico are prohibited.
- All routes are subject to reversal but you should assume the 2018 Cannonball will run west to east.
- Please propose your route concept in a new appropriately titled thread, example: Seattle to Key West Route.
- Consider including a list of highlights along your proposed route: Glacier National Park, Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Burr Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, Tail of Dragon, 30 US States, etc.
- Include a link to a single Google Map and if possible a screen shot. Google revises their mapping links periodically and your carefully crafted route link may not work in a few months.
- We're looking for new route ideas. Anniversary routes are up for consideration but do not need to be re-proposed.”
It was also pointed out that it would be good if you could actually see the ocean from both the starting and ending locations.

This may seem silly to some, but I bet everyone involved would have a great time. The promo tag could even be "small engines, BIG fun".
