Operation Haulage: UK 🇬🇧 Cannonball Record and Avoiding Prison - Tommy Davies 🏴
from ADV Cannonball · host Aaron Pufal
Send us Fan MailA nine-hour-and-change drive from John O’Groats to Land’s End sounds like pub talk until the police show up at your farm with a search warrant. We sit down with Tommy Davies to unpack the UK cannonball world, why record attempts live in a weird space between obsession and evidence, and how one headline can turn into Operation Haulage and a Crown Court trial with prison-level stakes.Along the way, we get specific about the UK’s enforcement landscape, from average speed cameras to Home Office type approval, and why “burden of proof” becomes the real battleground when tech data doesn’t match what the prosecution expects. Tommy walks us through the raid, the seizure, the charges, the disclosure fights, the experts, and the moments in court where a fair judge forces the process to stay honest. It’s part motoring history, part courtroom drama, and part warning about how easy it is for public opinion to harden before facts are tested.We also bring it back to our own backyard with ADV Cannonball Rally updates: how the points system works, what it takes to earn awards like Rough Rider and Checkpoint Crusher, why alumni love the banquet, and the big 2027 twist: a real closed-course dirt race stage with bonus points. If you’re into adventure motorcycle rallies, GPS checkpoint strategy, and the stories that make this community what it is, you’ll feel right at home.Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...
