I think it's going to be at least a few weeks before we Canadians give up the flag.
I've got it atm, and will not be meeting my next handoff until Monday.
It's a long weekend here, and Drew's got his grandkids for the weekend, and I've got to go to Kingston.

Monday's a Holiday here, and we've got plans to meet then.
I think there's still 5 or more Canadians to get to before the flag heads South over the border, so plan for a few (or more) weeks still.

The flag is on the move.
I met with Drew/Drooz this morning in Richmond Hill Ontario.
Good to see Drew again as it's been a year or two since we met.
He couldn't bring his KZ though as she was just track dayed the other day.
Drew came on his '73? 750 triple.





The passing of the Flag, and signing:




Then we parted ways.
Drew is off to meet Kayboy74 sometime tomorrow I believe.



The flag travelled 64 kms on this stretch.
Plus the 197 kms on my 1st part = 261 kms total.
Glad to have been a part of the KZR Relay.

Thanks to all of the Canadian contingent for all of their efforts thus far!

Does anyone know if M357.5, mopguy or tek9ine are going to be able to participate?

After Kawboy74 meets up with Drooz who is the next to get it if they are out? JR then toad?

I still think it would be nice to honor the memory of Jack by a relayer stopping in London for a photo of the flag there.

I have pm'd johnny and tek9ine and have yet to hear from them but did see johnny reply to a post on the weekend? Drooz is on his way here with the flag (1 hr.) but the weather is becoming unpredictable for the rest of the week so it may not continue until the weekend. JR is waiting for the flag so I guess it is becoming the proverbial hot potato to keep it moving which is unfortunate for those who haven't responded. In the end, I think it's important to keep it moving quickly for those who are ready, willing and able. Will show some pics later.

Just a quick note to say that I am ready willing and able to take the flag and take it to Michigan. London is definitely on my route and I think its a great idea to get a London pic with the flag in memory of Jack. That I can do.
M357.5 - let us know if you would like to participate at this stage.
Kawboy74 - Just got in and I'll send you a PM later.

Got the flag from Drooz so will begin the planning of moving it along. I have a feeling it will be Sunday before it will begin its next leg of the trip but will keep an eye on the weather channel. If M357.5 wants to connect somewhere in between that will be fine but will need a pm prior to getting things organized with JR

It was pretty special to be in on this relay! It's always cool to spend time with friends like Rob and to make new friends with guys like Dave!

Gotta say, it felt a little like handling a "hot potato" though, looking for someone to toss it to! I didn't want to hold up the process!

Here's the pic of the hand off to Dave (kawboy74) last night!







The h2 is a dream to ride! I still had most of the feeling left in my hands after getting home! :laugh: I had to get the KZ on the road to do the second leg though! This is kzrider, right? :laugh:


I called Barry yesterday (m357.5) with the idea that we might be able to ride towards each other in order to get him in on this. We only spoke for a second or 2. He was extremely busy. I waited for him to call me back, but he didn't. I called later and there was no answer on his cell. I figured it would be best to just move on as scheduled.

It's really too bad that so many likely won't get to be a part of this due to holidays and other things getting in the way. That's life though! :(
