The flag has been passed to jeffasaki today in Malone NY
Sorry about your breakdown mark, I would have liked to have seen your bike up close
Good luck to all you guys and keep it moving
we crossed lake champlain on a ferry with the flag
I will post pics in the next few days
It seems to me that marks fuse had a poor connection and was arcing causing it to melt
instead of blow
1982 GPZ 550 piped and jetted, stupidly loud at 10k rpm
1982 GPZ 550 resurrection in progress, eta April 2014, stock form for discretionary quiet time
1991 ZX11 parted out, this one carried the flag 300+ miles, unfortunately wiring harness melted and parting out was the only option, she was great

Mark, sorry to hear about your bike trouble, as I know you were looking forward to the ride/handoff.

As Rob mentioned, once Jeff is back in North Bay, I'll scoot down, pick up the flag, and head down to Owen Sound via Manitoulin Island. Should have some good pics (as those who know what we refer to as "The Island" is like).

Safe riding all. B)

Do it!!! Shit, you guys look like you are celebrating smuggling something out of the country. :woohoo:

Good to hear Jeff made it back. Looking forward to the hand off, get in touch Jeff when you are back in the Bay. B)

Jeff is on the move again. He is heading north on a wayward path, somewhat in the direction of home(Northbay). He is just going where the wind blows him. Must be nice to do that, just ride until u feel like going home. He is heading to Bancroft at the moment.
U gotta love it.
Way to go Jeff, ride on bro.
Jeff is a really great guy. I'm glad i had the opportunity to share this with him.
Just wish my bike didnt break down.
