Hey herding cats is still a bit harder but not much! :woohoo:

Naw, not a big deal really, you got the harder job in getting a flag that will work! I appreciate your time and effort on that and no matter what the flag design I'm good with whatever you can come up with!

I'm a bit late to this party, but am willing to take a portion. I'm in WA, between the other 2 members there in Eastern, WA. I see there is a gap in the Wyoming/MT,SD,ND,Nebraska region. If the flag ends up in Iowa or WA in mid-late June, I'll be riding from WA-ID-MT-ND-SD-IA on the way there and returning via IA-NB-(Missouri-KS-CO maybe)- WY-MT-ID-WA. I'm just saying, if we need to cover a few more states I could take it on a leg of that trip. Otherwise I'd be glad to ride with, or get the handoff from another WA rider!

Not late at all! Welcome to the relay ride. If you haven't already, make sure you add yourself to that map and include your KZrider ID when you do. Getting to Iowa my late June is going to be tough but who knows!

I started this on the East Coast page, but it needs to include everyone's opinion.

What do we want to write on the flag?
Name
Year and model of bike
State / Province
Date

Anything else??

Rainman do you have two flags now?

As far as signing I think Flyndrive's got it. That's short enough but contains all essential info. We should try and send a couple fine point Sharpies with the flag as it goes.

Well actually 3. SWMBO wanted a bandanna, so



Picked up 2 Sharpie Ultra Fine permanant markers with click tops (no cap to loose) that will go with the banner when it goes to Flyndrive in Florida for the start.

We are getting closer boys and girls, be sure to stand up and be counted if your in.

I don't know how I misseed this! I am for sure in, but I have one problem though, my kz is in pieces...can I do the rally if I put KZ side covers on my KLR? lol

I am sort of between Mark and Jeffasaki, if that helps at all; assuming I can join.

I think the basic assumption is that the "flag" will be transported on vintage Kawasakis. But I think anyone is welcome to ride along on anything for whatever leg of the ride they want.

Essentially I think the "torch bearers" should all be vintage Kaws, but they can be accompanied by anyone who wants to join in.

I can dig that. I am close enough to Mark that I can follow him as long as he is in Canada.
