I live in upstate NY, I'm down!

Well just an update on the relay here in Florida. Panama City Beach is out for me for this week. As you can see from my build thread (1976 KZ9000 back on the road), the bike is running now and feels very strong. But still have to take care of the brakes. And wouldn't be able to make it this weekend anyhow. Unfortunately, I'm the only rider during this leg that can move it to GA. One option is for Boostable to mail it to JyDog. But my bike is within a day or two of being road worthy. I'm hoping we can move the flag this coming week. I spoke to JyDog about meeting in Macon, GA once I'm ready, but I think Savannah, GA would be much more interesting and the same distance for me but a bit longer for him. But at this point, the had off location is not a factor in as much as getting the flag moved.

Definitely worth waiting a couple days to avoid shipping. We're expecting the flag to come from tybolt99 in NC to VA the weekend of April 28th. Let me know if we need to adjust.

I can make Macon but Savannah would be out for me.

No problem about Savannah Marc, it would have been nice if we could have done it there, but at this point, location is not a priority anymore. I will be making a concentrated effort on the brakes in the next couple of days. Once complete, I will contact you and Boostable to set up a date for the hand off.

Just an FYI, here is the Leg#2 map as it stands today. If it needs modified just let me know!

Hey guys, thanks for your patience so far. Tomorrow will be the day when I'll know if I can make it for the relay or not. Plan on taking a day off to finish things off. If I can't make it, Boostable my have to mail it to JyDog. Sorry, 35 year old bike that hasn't run in probably 12 years if not more. The bike ran very well on my test ride around the neighborhood Thursday, but the next day died on me when trying to go out on the open road. Fortunately, I only got about 1/8 of a mile from home. So pushed it back (hills and all). I took a look at it today and saw debris in the tank (have a filter with some debris in it). But I figured it was just a low fuel issue and gave it gas and installed new battery (old one didn't hold charge) and its back to where it was before. Somewhat o.k., cylinder no. 2 is not getting too hot for the short 5 min I ran it. Which is strange, because Thursday it was no. 3 that was not so good. Couldn't do much else this weekend. Yesterday I trid to do some adjustments on the back brake. Found out why it was getting stuck at the bottom: Broken brake pedal spring. Ordered one from Z1E. But that should not stop me from riding as long as the front brake is good. I will look at the front brake tomorrow (currently it has about 65% front braking). So that's where things stand. Will post tomorrow with the news.

Sounds like you got it just about beat. Keep up the good work. I"m going to have to get my bike up and running too.

I can get it from boostable. I sent him a pm a little while ago to schedule a time

Keep at it Joe. I have parts man if you need anything. Remember we have LBF coming up in a couple weeks.
