I agree. It is reassuring, not only to see it moving again, but to see it moving so quickly now. This is awesome.

Kawickrice, you've got the record for the longest run so far 375 miles! You home safe now?

Trianglelaguna, sound like a great gig. From talking to Eric enaz1 he is going to try to make a run to South Carolina the comming Saturday and meet up with tbolt99 with both riders covering 250 miles each to the rendezvous and then back home if all goes well.

We could still really use a rider in SC or southern NC to help tybolt99 and enaz1 out.

And we're already looking at dates for the hand off from tybolt99 to me in VA.

We're shooting for a quick turnaround, just riding as a group from South Hill, VA to Leesburg, VA and passing the flag to 650ED (MD).

For those just tuning in, We've just kicked off the first leg. So far we've hit FL and GA and we're heading up the East Coast in the hope of reaching Newfoundland.

Other legs are in the works. Check out www.VintageKawasakiRelay.com for details.

Yep I am home now. Now I can watch the progress instead of being the progress. ;) Me and Debbie had a great time doing this and had a blast. We are thankful to be a part of it. I think everyone involved will have great stories to share.


Craig,
Nice score on the work and its good to see you back. Here are a few of the threads for the relay. I got it out of Florida yesterday and it is making its way to Cali, just don't know when. Here are a few active links and I am sure there are more.

The East Coast leg thread is the active one moving the flag as of now

I might hold it now but I know it will not last long. :( Looking at the map some riders will make me look like I was sitting still. That gave me the inspiration just knowing there will be more sore asses than mine when this is all said and done. ;)

I think it'd be cool for someone should write down the year and model of bike that carried the flag throughout.

I make maps for a living, I can probably design some kind of map when it's all said and done. KZ900's carried the torch for 800 miles, Z1s- 750, KZ1000s- 1500, KZ650s- 500, etc.

The flag is being signed with a sharpie with the name of the person, make, model and year of bike. I am sure it will be full when finished.

That would be cool if you could document this trip map style and crunch the data at the end for the stats. I like the idea. Could you do this as it happens or would you have to wait until its finished. I like it.

What a great idea. I would love to be a part of this. Look me up for a leg in Washinton. I am just outside Seattle in Edmonds WA.

Looking forward to more pics and meeting people who love the old kawis.
