Met up with Rob on Monday morning to take the "hand off"! Thanks for coming 1/2 way buddy! B)

I've got some pics but no time today to post 'em up. Maybe tonight. I'm in the middle of a quandary, as I'm waiting for M357.5 (Barry) to get back to me. If I can, I'm up for a meet with him before dropping the flag in the hands of kawboy74 (Dave). I just hope we can do this without taking too much time. :)

Later folks! :kiss:

Good to see you again Rob and good pics! B)

Here's one from me!






I didn't keep the flag very long. I tried to get hold of M357.5 (Barry), but failed. My hand off happened last night in Oakville. I road down to kawboy75's (Dave) house and we had a great time yaking in the driveway and garage for a couple of hours. I think I got to meet the whole family too with his wife, son and daughter coming out to see what was going on! Wonderful people! That's the best part of this hobby! Great people that we meet!

Check out the Z1!! It's a dream machine! He has an LTD in the garage that's just as spectacular! :woohoo:







As you may have noticed, I rode the h2 to meet Rob, but got the KayZed ready in time to meet Dave! This is KZRider after all! ;)

It was a privilege to carry the flag and get my name on it. I know so many more would like to have this opportunity, but schedules will be difficult to link up everyone to the relay.

Steady on Dave! I know the flag is in good hands! B)

So David (Kawboy74) and I met at the Brown Dog Coffee Shop in downtown (very small) Paris Ontario earlier this evening and we passed a very pleasant couple of hours on the patio overlooking the Grand River where one can watch people falling out of canoes on a nice summers day :laugh:
We talked about a lot of stuff but mostly KZs and bikes in general. David's Z1 is just absolutely amazing and I wish I had more time and more daylight for a better look and better pics. By the time we finished yacking it was almost dark and had started to rain so we headed out to the street for the "Photo Op' and corralled a couple of kids to take the pics.... and here's the anectdote I promised in the Leg 2 post - One of the kids said Hey my dad and I just picked up a KZ550 in a barn and are working on restoring it.
Needless to say we told him where to find the best information and young man I hope we see you and your dad here :)
It was great to meet you David.
Now lets see if I can link to Photobucket for the pics :blink:
