Seems O.K. to me.

Just got back about an hour or so ago from escorting Kawickrice from Wildwood, fl to Gainsville, fl. Nice ride and no rain during the whole ride. Just want to thank Kawickrice for stepping up and taking the flag to Macon, Ga. I couldn't have done it. Have encountered some issues which i need to look from this ride. We should all give him a well deserved thank you. Even with the weather today, 80% chance of heavy thunder showers, it didn't deter him a bit. That would have been enough to keep me home, considering the length of the trip. Just started raining cats and dogs in the last couple of minutes. You can see some pre-hand off photos from Kawickrice's ride at the following link:

Made it back. The flag is spending the night with me in Griffin, GA. Enaz1 ( Eric ) text me and the plan is to meet at Atlanta Motor Speedway tommorow at noon. Enjoyed meeting Kerry (Kawickrice) and Debbie. Have a safe trip back to Tampa Kerry, I took your advice and rode behind Angel on the way back so i didnt have to keep looking back ( my bike has no mirrors).

I think it a browser setting is doing this to some people. Larger font size can do this sometimes. If I do not have my reading glasses and try to zoom the text so I can see it I encounter this

You don't need to thank me. The RZR flag needed to move and I had a good time doing it. Another trip for the memory books.

I was in the saddle for about 6 or so hours,had to stop for fuel a few times, stop to suit up for the rain etc. so it took longer than that to get there. 375 miles is enough for a day, We got a room in Macon for the night and will be making the return trip tomorrow. I will be stopping to have lunch with fivestrings when I hit his neck of the woods. He wanted to make the trip so bad, but just couldn't get the bike to cooperate.

If you need a a Washington State rider let me know, I'm in. I contributed 500 miles of the relay that the Honda SOHC4 riders did last year on my 1975 cb400f. It would be cool to get in on this too.

I'm in the Portland, Oregon area and should be good for a few hundred miles on my KZ900 if you want me.
I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

The handoff to Enaz1 ( Eric ) in front of the Richard Petty monument at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga. Nice to finally meet you Eric. I was recruited by him originally to join the relay. What a strange trip its been today. Ran out of gas 5 miles from the speedway and coasted into the gas station. Found out my tank holds exactly 3.06 gallons before you switch to reserve and it dosent work. It was cold and windy, didn't want to ride one handed for long if you know what I mean, or a gust would knock you into the ditch. Lost about 4 pices of my bike on the way, a screw for the headlight, one of the rubber pieces that go on the frame under the tank fell on my header and started making a new smell and one of the pins that hold my seat pan on. The last one I took a screw off my swingarm because I noticed it getting loose and was afraid it was going to come off and get caught in my chain and lock the rear wheel up. Well because of this relay I made some great new freinds, got my bike road worthy and found out what needed to be fixed. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys for letting me be apart of this.

Nice to see it move again. jydog has the record so far for quickest handoff. B) B) What are the plans for the next handoff and which states are next?


Just so everyone knows there is a photo album thread started for pics and stories of the handoffs. It will chronologically document the flag progress starting from start to finish. Each handoff should post there along with posting in the individual leg threads, that way at the end it will not be scattered between different threads. I just copy and pasted so it was not to cumbersome.
