squadrider has the picks from our exchange

I will download pics after all is said and done but that stuff takes me forever and I just don't have the time to mess around right now.

Saturday in Malone NY I will pass the flag to Mark and I can't friggin wait!

To ride that is!

Rob, just talked to Jeff, and he is willing to bring the flag back up to North Bay. From there I will run it down to you or Barry in Owen Sound via Manitoulin Island if this is OK with the rest of the guys.
Could not make the ride this weekend due to work commitments, but am available for the most part after that.

here's a pic of Jeff and I just before we left the Woodlawn Inn, this morning.
Unfortunately for me, i had a break down. fortunately i was only 1 hour out. so i was able to get my LOVELY WIFE and son to rescue me. it is our 28th anniversary today. She seems to thing that if i let her smash my bike with a sledge hammer, that she would have had a great aniversary. :blink:

this is what stopped me

Attachment Jeffjoyjeffasaki0721120071.jpg not found



i search as many wires as i could on the side of the highway, but did not see any hot spots???
I'll have to dig deep now. :( it seems odd that it almost melted the spade leg off of the fuse before blowing??
it was a huge disappointment for me, as Jeff and i were all set to have a great week end. Jeff is marching on to meet Paul in Malone NY. HE'LL stop and stay the night with us on the way home. so i will at least get to see the banner. :P

The flag has been passed to jeffasaki today in Malone NY
Sorry about your breakdown mark, I would have liked to have seen your bike up close
Good luck to all you guys and keep it moving
we crossed lake champlain on a ferry with the flag
I will post pics in the next few days
It seems to me that marks fuse had a poor connection and was arcing causing it to melt
instead of blow

Mark, sorry to hear about your bike trouble, as I know you were looking forward to the ride/handoff.

As Rob mentioned, once Jeff is back in North Bay, I'll scoot down, pick up the flag, and head down to Owen Sound via Manitoulin Island. Should have some good pics (as those who know what we refer to as "The Island" is like).

Safe riding all. B)

Jeff is on the move again. He is heading north on a wayward path, somewhat in the direction of home(Northbay). He is just going where the wind blows him. Must be nice to do that, just ride until u feel like going home. He is heading to Bancroft at the moment.
U gotta love it.
Way to go Jeff, ride on bro.
Jeff is a really great guy. I'm glad i had the opportunity to share this with him.
Just wish my bike didnt break down.
