Some of you have heard this, but there's a movement afoot to get a story about the relay in the official "Riders of Kawasaki" magazine.

One thing their editor suggested was that when know more about the arrival in Southern California we work with Kawasaki's PR dept. to arrange a stop at the corporate office and a tour of the motorcycle museum.

I might fly out to California for that if we can make it happen.


I didn't even know there was a "Riders of Kawasaki" magazine. Where at in SoCal???

I was wondering where the end was, Did not know if it was going all the way to Socal. All I know is I am so in. It would be cool to have a big party at the end and have members fly in that can. What ya say Tri, A trip down the coast? I am a few hours from you to the east.

To save yourself a read, hop over to VintageKawasakiRelay.com

There is no "plan" or "schedule". I stepped up to coordinate the first leg and get her up the East Coast.

Other's have stepped up to help with other legs. This is a "stone soup" endeavour.

Unlikely it will make it by summer Tri. More like December. I wouldn't even attempt to read the threads. Its overwhelming. Best to look at the photo essay in the Ride reports section ( Relay Photos ). You can see how far its come and who has carried it. I guess if you are the last rider, the questions becomes; what happens to the flag? Maybe you can put it in glass bottle with a cork and throw it into the Pacific Ocean off of Big Sur :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:. Anybody know if the currents will take it to Japan?

Good question about what to do with the flag at the the end. I would think sending it to the rider who rode the farthest might be fair to reward his/her commitment to the relay. Ed

my thoughts are to make a photo book (my girls Daughter is a photographer and does it for weddings etc...) and put the flag with it and auction it on ebay for charity.

of course I think there may ba a real coffe table book of this journey with some of the photography ED took and I am sure others will who knows maybe we will find a publisher lol

I thought it was going to Canada, Europe then Australia, we even have some members who live in Japan. It would be cool to get it to Kawasaki's home office. :)
