TOPIC:

Bill and I are meeting on Saturday at the Progressive International Bike show in Dallas to transfer the flag. I know the other guys in northern Oklahoma want to get the flag too, and I have contacted them and will set up a transfer for the 17th, weather permitting.

Keeping it in the south would be a good idea, but it seems like the southwest has few riders and very long distances between us. Bill and the Houston group and myself are looking at a 450 mile round trip, and a possible overnight to do this one part of the leg. Maybe we can move it as far as possible and when the time comes to stop because of ice and snow, that person with the flag can mail it to someone in south California and they can keep it going? If we do that then we can re-adjust the legs over the winter, maybe?

I hope you get good weather, That show looks like a big event, have fun.

Please take lots of pics.

This is getting frustrating. I thought the flag was supposed to go North from Texas. If it has to stall out due to weather, fine. I cant ever do 450 miles with the flag, but I'm riding my '79 KZ 650 to work in the 40's and wet tomorrow. C'mon, people.

i didn't realize moving the flag was a "high pressure" deal.

we do not have a time frame to co-ordinate to.

when we started this i don't remember anything about it being a race.

if you want in,wait your turn.

it will get to you.

in turn when you get it and your thirty year old bike brakes something and you can't move it for a couple weeks i "won't" ride your "a$$"!

that's my .02,ymmv.

p.s. whiners always finish last anyway.it's just their nature .

Ed please be extra careful in you snow travels

Hey Tri, even if we could get it to Cali nobody's riding.

besides you and mtbspeedfreak that is.

this post is at the top of ride reports for the last 5 weeks

kzrider.com/forum/17-ride-reports/550480-socal-group-ride

all joking aside....i want nothing more than for folks to carry on and rest for the winter or ride when safe and take breaks...whatever

i do not want the thing relayed out here...i was just thinking out loud many posts ago


there is no hurry.....i am just chiming in to be an ahole as always...i could care less if it comes here by next years end.....

i love the pics of folks meeting and the u.s.a is more kzrider in those posts than out here for sure...the pics of the bikes...the stories,,,too cool

This is what its all about, KZR members getting together.
Thanks again 650ed for the Idea, and to all the others making this possible. I would love to see the Flag someday when it gets around to the North West. We just did another 350mi yesterday here in East Oregon as the weather was fantastic. Sorry rode the Concours. Gotta like the 7.3 gallon tank on those rides.

it was 87 at monterey/ big sur coast today and 70 something tomorrow...by after lunch folks were out in force ...i could hear em go by all day...and me at work

this thing is pretty cool (relay) i mean really, outta nothing...and away it goes...and goes and goes...

Yeah no rush it moves at its own pace, but it has moved some where around 4697 miles so far on two old wheels and it's not even half way




I'm thinking it's almost time for me to pull the old girl into the basement for a little cleaning and maintenance after 7000+ trouble free miles this year

I'll be ready when the flag gets here.
