The Cross Country Chase is back!! This time nearly 100 riders riding Antique Motorcycles between the years of 1930 thru 1960 tackle Historic Route 66. This is the ultimate challenge of Man vs. Machine, Follow along as we show you a brief overview and some of the stories and tribulations of the riders as they maneuver Route 66 over a 10 day period starting in Springfield, IL (the home of Abe Lincoln) and ending on the Santa Monica Pier on the coast of California
See which rider will be crowned the "Legend" and which riders struggle to make it across the country on these ancient motorcycles.
Not only is the Cross Country Chase a challenge of Man vs. Machine it is also a competition of Speed, Navigation, Endurance and Knowledge.
Endurance:
Riders and Machines will compete an average of 250 miles per day over a 10-day period. Riders and Machines could endure fatigue, mental exhaustion, cold, heat, elevations, and all the ferocious elements of Mother Nature. Riders will navigate the course of The Cross Country Chase on their own, no support crews of any kind will be allowed during the event. Riders will have to think about what they need to pack to make it the duration; tools, parts, and luggage must be packed on your motorcycle. It is just you, your motorcycle, and some of the best 2-lane roads of North America.
Navigation:
Riders will have to successfully navigate the 9-day, 2400+ mile route without going off course or getting lost. The Cross Country Chase will provide riders with a Navigation Map each morning that will give turn-by-turn instructions based on mileage.
Speed:
Riders and Machines will compete an average of 250 miles per day over a 10-day period. Riders and Machines could endure fatigue, mental exhaustion, cold, heat, elevations, and all the ferocious elements of Mother Riders and Machines will be challenged to complete stages in a timed fashion, which will require maintaining certain speeds, strategically planned stops, and managing time throughout the day to check in to the final daily checkpoint at the required time.
Knowledge
Riders will be given a 120-question test that will cover aspects of the route and American Motorcycling history which will count towards each rider’s final score.

I rode this road in 1967 on a 160cc Honda Scramble from Kansas to CA. It took me 4 days. It was in late November. I almost froze to death.
I house/dog sat for my boss and his wife so they could participate in this event. Looks like they had as much fun as they said they did.

P absolutely freaking beautiful😅 awesome
Awesome you gave bikes to the kids. The smiles on faces of the kids.👍
Just discovered this by accident and now I am thoroughly addicted. As a 67 year old motorcycle freak, (who loves the old bikes more than anything) this is right down my alley. Thanks for providing something I really want to see and I hope you keep it going. Subscribed.
I'm like you. I just stumbled on to this to. I'm 68 years old
I am, too! 65 from Taiwan, the other side of the world.
De verdad es la primera vez que me como un vídeo de 2:13:09. De una vez los felicito. Me suscribo porque un amante de las motos como yo ,no podría pasar esto por alto. La Ruta 66 el sueño de cualquier motorista .
Même age et même souhait. Je possède une vieille DUO de 1959; 🙂
Klasse, zwei Stunden nice people. Grüße aus Deutschland.
Days like these.... are the best in Life ! That is my Heaven, motorcycling !! Cheers from Australia ! 👍😎👍
My words... go for a motorbike ride, the rest can wait.❤
Outstanding in everything, bikes, people, landscapes, story, music, fun, production, and living the dreams ⭐
This gives a slight touch of reality when you understand, empathize with, and relate to all of the Grey haired ‘older gentleman’. Feels like I aged 20 years over night, but thankfully got 50 years smarter.
Thanks for letting us ride along on this wonderful journey, it’s truly magical.
EDITED for MY mistake(s)
Great bikes, great music, great people.
Thank you!
(I ride a Harley in Britain, rain,wind and lorries!)
I’m so glad 🙂 that I have watched this & I can’t wait until I take this tour,❤ I’ve always wanted to drive Route 66 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸 “life is good” 😊 I’m 69 yrs. young ☘️
I just love ❤️ looking 👀 at the guy wearing Chaps of the American Flag 🇺🇸, just Beautiful.

Let’s do it! I’m from CT
i luv old HD motorcycles and this looks like so much fun.
I'd love to do the chase sometimes. That's a great program you guys started, getting bikes to little kids. I don't remember a lot from my early childhood days but I do remember the moment (and the feeling) of figuring out how to balance a 2 wheel bike for the first time. I was pushing myself around our back patio for hours and all of the sudden it just happened....then I was out on the streets peddling away.
Кайф! Кайф! Кайф! Как всё Чётко!👍👍👍 Смотрится на одном дыхании)
Awesome event. Awesome video. Good to see the old bikes being used and not wasting away somewhere. I hope to see you guys on the east coast someday.
This absolutely looks like a blast to do. The commeradery on this run is fantastic
Great doco, awesome for the participants and the school push-bike donation. All helping each other and getting to the other end and fun along the way. Have fun organising this/and next year's run.👏👏👏

Да, какой кайф! Хотелось бы чтобы и у нас были такие ралли!

I always wonder, and dream about, if I’m able to go that far. I’m getting old! Maybe someday, before I die. Nice video. Thanks!

It's so good to see the old Harley Davidson still running fantastically.
I don't know if you've noticed that only the famous darley havidsons have broken down on the side of the road? Oh yes, and a Triumph! No BMW, no Indian or other brands, just your favorite "legends"!
Thanks for a most enjoyable 2 hours +. :)
Wow! What a great event. Really enjoying your video. Thanks from Seattle
Glad you enjoyed it!

I feel like being part of the family myself just by watching this movie !! Awsome and just GREAT!!
Awesome video! We are so happy you incorporated @AllKidsBike to kick off this incredible event! Thank you for influencing the next generation on two wheels!
Absolutely brilliant! Loved every minute. You should do a vid of each person who entered, 1 minute about them and their bike.
amazing bikes. amazing roads. amazing views
That was an awesome watch thankyou all from here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
I have so far only looked at ten minutes and gave you a subscription, the quality of filming is excellent. Beautiful bikes and cool people. I'm going to wait until tomorrow and watch this on my big TV I'm certain it will be amazing and deserves a proper watch 👍greetings from Latvia.... Harry

Fantastic show
Excellent!!!! My 49 Pan and I really want to ride The Chase this year!!!! 🏍🤙🍻
That was really an epic film and adventure. It was great seeing these old bikes actually on the road. I've got two (2) 1957's in the garage that don't run. One should be on the road by summer. i'd love to do one of these adventures. Cheers! PS. The graphics had the years wrong on some of those bikes, but that's just me nit picking. It was still an awesome film. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love this stuff.
Yes！ from Japan

This video shows...life can be GREAT 😊
So damned cool, I'm jealous of their experience
Wonderful feel good video!

Great event, and lovely to see all the old bikes out doing what they do best. It would be great to do something like that here in the uk.
....maybe the M25 on a Monday morning?
Baseball .... apple pie ..... and Harley Davidson 😊
There’s always the Banbury run!
Love them
I wonder how many "ADVENTURERS" have taken their 1250 GSs ore 1290 Ktms in a dangerous trip down to the city center while you were riding your old machines in this glorious journey! God bless you all!
Wonderful adventure ❤️
Hermosa experiencia de manejo ❤
It’s all about loving what you do and doing what you love.
Hi from Italy.....true beautiful event
Nice job Bro looks good, I took off the bolt that holds the seat on and swapped it out for a thumbscrew bolt, much quicker to remove as well as looking heaps tidier
Great review.😍
if you have the chance to stop by " Dale's Wheels Through Time". Maggie Valley , North Carolina.
Офигеть как круто!) Возможно в нашей стране тоже скоро будет подобный пробег)

Wonderful to see all of these old bikes on Route 66. I would have loved to hear them more instead of loud music when they were running. Please cut more of that music out in the future so we can hear them 😊
Jay Leno's Garage is like the Disney Land for motorcyclists!!! 😁😁
Luar biasa sharing video yang sangat bagus sekali kawanku
most cool ever seen
Awesome Awesome Awesome. I've never had a bucket list I'm 62 and this is in the bucket. Viva Zundapp KS 600. I had a 52 ks601 wow to have that bike back. Never sell your bikes kids 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome videos. Im from Philippines.
I would have liked to to see the 1933 HD that was the last bike Harley and the Davidsons did together.
