Les

Got your number and all is a go for Sunday at 11am in Batesville, location is being decided now for lunch and such.

Glad to see it getting close to me Krazy Chris and boatdrinks you guys ready??
I'll meet up with Les the following weekend unless we can break free before then just checkin to make sure you guys are still in

I think DQ is fine for lunch. If thats fine with everybody else.

Les, dont be cleaning up that bike to much, Im going to be embarrassed riding and parking next to your bike. cant wait to see it.

We decided not to go hog wild on the cleaning job. :laugh: It's going to have dirt, road grime and dust on it, trust me! I just changed the starter sprag unit and rotor, 1 bolt broken and the other 2 almost. It developed a knock couple weeks ago and I knew what it was but had no idea it was that bad. Other than that it's a normal routine prep for a ride then outa here.

DQ is fine. That puts me pulling out at about 8 am which means jacket and gloves which also means I need a way to carry them home, supposed to be nice that day.

I'm ready to go. Ron768 is up for the ride to Columbus, MS. Have not heard from Chris lately. Did you two work a meeting place out yet?

Just got a PM with his number i'll call him this week come up with a halfway point

Hello! Not sure why I've never used this forum before, but hey, here now

So yes, I live in Nashville and have had my '76 KZ400 for four years now.. It's my daily rider for the most part. I've replaced pretty much everything and rebuilt the carbs, and even found a spare motor that I'm currently running for $75 a couple of months ago.

I've done an event like this for the past two years with the SOHC/4 Honda guys, who put together a relay around the world in 2011. The Godzilla that was our "baton" is somewhere in Europe now, after having travelled all of the contiguous US, all of the provinces of Canada and around New Zealand & Austraila.

Anyhoo, I've seen yr map and can help you guys through Tennessee. I haven't read all of this thread (24 pages!) so if someone could briefly bring me up to speed that would be great. Incidentally, our local vintage MC is putting on a Rally on September 29th, so it would be cool if we could somehow involve that... not sure what yr timeline is though.

Welcome to the madness Your probably the closest to me I should have it the next 2 weekends or so and will be looking to pass it off to Krazy Chris but you are in between us. I will have 250 miles or so to get the flag from Les so if you guys want to get together and meet my in KY instead of me riding to tenn that would be great The more the merrier I always say

Godzilla! :laugh: :laugh: Now that's creative; someone was definitely thinking out of the box. :laugh: Love it! But of course, the flag has its benefits as well since it accommodates the ability to sign it and has the KZR logo. Welcome to KZR! Hope you can participate in the relay. Sounds like the timing is good.
