Motor-Scooter International, now in its eleventh year of x-treme motor-scooter endurance road racing, remains committed to testing the limits of riders and their scooters. As one of our event posters bluntly says: "Many scooterists' talk about extreme endurance racing, but very few actually do it." If you feel that you have what it takes to engage in competition riding, and that your scooter is up to the task, by all means consider joining us for go at the road.
The first thing you have to do is join this meet-up. You don't have to pay any money to join.You enter a race by giving your RSVP at a given race portal. For example, to enter the Route "66" 400-Miler, click on the link of that particular meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Motor-Scooter-Intern...) and RSVP. You have to pay the entry fee to perfect and complete the RSVP.
YOUR EARLY ENTRIES ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR RACING LICENSE. WEARING IT DURING THE RACE IS MANDATORY.

EARLY RESERVATIONS AT BOTH MOTEL 6s ARE A MUST!
Motor-Scooter International proudly presents the 2026 California Coastal Cannonball, a motor-scooter extreme endurance road race from Motel 6 Rohnert Park, CA across the Golden Gate Bridge and south along the cliffs through Big Sur on U.S. Highway 101 to Motel 6, Buellton, CA, a distance of 547 kilometers (340 miles). This race should be both invigorating and challenging. But-for the topography, this race would be a mere sprint for most of us!
**** The Black Bear Diner next to Motel 6 in Rohnert Park has great reasonably priced chow. There's a liquor store across the main boulevard. ****
