Gary, So sorry to see this post. :( Listen, keep your shirt and just find a way to meet up with some of the other NorthWest Riders at a Relay hand off. You are as much a part of this if not more than many of us. Beautiful bike, hope you can keep it.

Things are coming together for the Relay, so please keep in mind you are on of us Big Brother! Stay around even if you don't ride and sell the bike.

I believe the flag will be handed to me @ Olde Faithful in Wyoming on July 27th. I can then take it home to Missoula MT and then on to ID.

Hey Mike, We could use your help. We have a rider in Montana who will take The Flag hand Off from Me in Wyoming. Look at the Rocky Mountain Leg #4 Thread for more details. >>>> www.kzrider.com/forum/13-bike-related/50...ountain-leg?start=20

WELL, I just wanted to post a heads-up for those counting on me for the eastern Oregon hookup for passing the flag - IF the bike doesn't sell, and IF my dizziness passes by the time there is a need for me to fill the gap, I'll be here - just wanted to give notice that things might change as far as my participation is concerned - let's keep our fingers crossed! :lol:

EXACTLY!!! :P AND, Speaking of the KZ Rider in Montana! :lol: This will be an Epic ride and an awesome location to perform The Relay hand off! Thanks for suggesting Kaw-a-holic!

So here we have the way things are shaping up unless another Rocky Mountain Rider appears:
---Goodcheapnfast(Peter) will hand off to Forrest(me) to conclude the Midwest Relay Leg.
---Forrest(me) to advance The Flag into The Rockies as far as N.W. Wyoming handing off to
kaw-a-holic at Yellowstone National Park @ Olde Faithful on Saturday, July 27th.
---kaw-a-holic will transport the Flag to Montana where he can coordinate the next hand
off of The Relay Flag to the next KZ Rider. This Rider may be from Idaho(Mike 0537) or
someone from Bend, OR(Motor Head & Toolmaker) or Washington(?).

How are we doing so far? Me Thinks Great so far!

We might have some more interest from NEBRASKA... my bud from Wahoo might want to be crazy and make it like 5 guys going to Yellowstone. He's the one that borrowed the "Street Bob" and was at mi casa and ALL READY to go down to KS 3 WEEKS AGO and then the plug got pulled. Well, in the meantime mi bud Jason got parts from his 3 650's into his good bike and now it's running great. Called me today and asked about the flag. He's game for a ride. mY Wife's good maybe for anther chase vehicle. This is all shaping up real nice. See ya forrest and lawrence end of july -- gonna be fun! Northwest Leg next, eh?

We will have a safe trip, but since we're logging a lot of miles, we will have to take a few risks to keep it interesting!
