dam right it will move soon. Tomorrow I'm knocking out Kansas. The offer is still open for you and Lawrence to meet me late this week for a barbecue at mi casa and a ride up to the sandhills. Check your texts.


Pete:

If you're looking for people to ride with as you relay the flag westward you might consider posting the ride on the Omaha Cruisers meetup web site - www.meetup.com/Omaha-Cruisers/

They have a few folks on there that are always up for a ride. I bet they'd like to be part of a relay.

I hope to be unshackled from my desk in early August, so if you need another rider then, just let me know.

Which member in Montana is joining in? Will it still go up to Tim/ KZ250LTD in Canada?
Seems like the last planned out routes from last year may be Null and Void.
I've been in touch with Forrest, and if i can get some advance notice to schedule time off of work, I can come to Idaho/ Wy/ maybe Montana. Meet whoever, ride back to Oregon either alone or with a Group of KZ's. But NO Super Slab riding except where absolutely necessary.
My suggested route to WY, B) any Oregon KZR Members Keen? Bill? :huh:

Really good to see you in the loop! Hope to be out your way real soon and we can all ride places and eat things!

BTW, Peter is in Kansas by now. We should get an update and pictures later.

My bike is close but not finished and the motor is fresh. Would need to run it in to make sure it's good to go. I like the idea of riding my reliable tried and trusted steed. I know it's not 20 years old but if flag is stuck after Sunday, any day is good. I can ride and meet all the riders and make sure it gets to Cali. Forrest and will be able to ride to a point as he has work he can only get away so much but I'm free till middle of August and could and would move it all the way if need be.

Hey Jonz, The relay will get it done on KZs or vintage. No worries and no ZRX or C-14 needed. Call me brother.

BREAKING NEWS! Goodfastncheap has hit Kansas! Way to go Peter! That now concludes the The Midwest Leg #3 in terms of states. Does anyone k ow how many KZ Riders have actually relayed The Flag so far?

Now it is time to move The Flag into the Rocky Mountain States. Peter is planning a blast of a run to get it West. I plan on being there and helping advance The Flag. Here is Peter earlier this a.m. knocking off Kansas!

Keep the shiny side up and may the wind be at your back. Gods speed on your upcoming trip Forrest. You're taking a big bite.

Now we can close this thread and continue on in the Rocky Mountain leg.

Forrest / goodfastncheap:

If you're meeting up here in Omaha let me know. Although my schedule is tight and I won't be able to sit and have dinner, I'd still like to buy you guys dinner before you head out. Or if that doesn't work, I'll contribute $100 towards expenses.

I thank you for you interest in meeting. Peter is putting on a dinner at his house Wednesday evening. I am also running a tight schedule but would be willing to meet you briefly if I can get in town early enough tomorrow. OR, I could meet you on our way out of town in the early a.m. I will PM you with my contact info.

I am very honored by your offer to help financially. :blush: Might I suggest a donation to the KZ Rider Forum in honor of Tony who recently passed in that tragic plane crash. OR, You can donate to your favorite charity in the name of the KZ Rider Forum. Upncummr, you are truly a good person for the offer and I cannot thank you enough. B)

I'm new, both to the forums and as a rider, so I don't exactly know what's going on here.

But it seems awesome. And if you're in the Rocky Mountains, you're on my home turf. If I can contribute, meet up for part of the ride, or buy somebody dinner on your way through SLC, please let me know.

Send a PM or post to Motor Head on this forum. He's kinda the lead man for the NW leg. Stay tuned to the NARR threads to stay informed. If you read the main thread that is at the top of the page, you can figure out whats going on. Start at the beginning.

Shenaningeneer:

I believe Forrest and saxjonz are stopping in Casper, WY tonight and then meeting another KZ rider near Yellowstone on Friday afternoon or early Saturday to relay the flag. If you're free you might try to catch up to them and be part of the relay for Wyoming and Idaho.

Okay, I've had a chance to read all the sites and threads and have come to the conclusion that this IS a really awesome idea. Sadly, if they're rolling from Yellowstone to Boise I'd have a solid 4-6 hour ride just to catch them (minimum). I'll PM Motor Head to see if it will come any closer to SLC after it has passed through California.

If not, I'll just keep my eyes on the various threads and see if I can't end up helping out some other way. Thanks guys.
