Well it's good to hear it is moving along now!

Enaz1 is part of the East Coast leg now and so technically Leg#2 isn't in this yet. When it gets to KZCM that will signal the start of leg#2 as it is planned now.

I know I have to update the map, will get that done soon but we still need another rider for Alabama to shorten the distances if possible between BlackZ1-R and boatdrinks. :unsure:

Don't know if any of you guys in leg#2 read it yet but sadly Jack has passed away.

He was looking forward to riding as much as he was able to in our leg of he relay. Godspeed Jack!

The map will be updated so it goes from JR to toad. It would be nice if there is a way to honor Jack during that part of the relay. I'm open for suggestions from all but especially JR and toad.

It looks like the first leg of the relay is moving along nicely now so I just want to say that the bike is running real good and Mrs bluej and myself are looking forward to meeting up with Harm in St. Joes when the time comes.

How you doing Harm , are you still a go ?

Ride on Blue J!!! My bike is running well now also. Looking forward to it.

ATTENTION: Is there anyone in the central BAMA area that hasn't spoken up to jump in on the relay?????? There is a huge gap in the relay betwixt 'Sippi and Jawjah. :cheer:

"Harm". We should chat at some time. If the flag is coming from Canada, through Windsor, it would make sense for me to grab it and deliver to the west side of the state.

I see "Curt" has placed himself on the map in Kzoo. Maybe the 3 of us can work something out?

What do you mean? It looks like your average classic Kaw with the bog-standard turbocharger setup. Don't you have one in your garage?
O.K., me neither. Does look nice though.

never had a turbo....I'm sure it's a thrill like no other.

Street Fighter, have you got any dyno graphs on that monster?

Black Z1R,
No dyno numbers. I posted before about scambling the Motorcycle dyno at the local college. best guess is around 250 , without the nitrous. Back in mid 1980s ran 9.50 @ 156mph w/o nitrous (Drag slick and wheelie bar), but this was just my street bike. Was part of TopFuel / Funny Bike team running way faster. ( I was crew member, not pilot ).

Maybe you could meet for breakfast ?

I think Harm up in Holland is the next in line, if you guys want to hook up with him and ride to St Joseph I'm buying lunch at my buddy's Thai restaurant ;)
