Guys, I have a solution that will solve everything.
Anyone happen to use Skype?
If not, ramtough, why don't you PM me your phone number?
I have some work to do on a car, then dinner, then I'll be available.

Called you twice, Les. Left a message the first time, got the machine again the second time. Guess I will try again tomorrow night.

Really, I don't have voice mail or a machine, also shows no missed calls. You must be calling the wrong number, I just checked my PM's and my number is correct so you might want to check it. Look at your cell phone, you have a missed call from me at 7:43 pm on the 11th.

You are correct. I missed 2 digits. Unfortunately, the voice mail I reached was the generic "You have reached..." instead of "John Smith is not available.." :ohmy:
O.K.,I'll see if I can do it correctly this evening.:blush:

Well, you did not pick up but at least I know it was you because it said your voice mailbox was not set up. I'll try again later.

So, as far as I can tell from the photo thread, it looks like the flag is in Nashville, TN now. Is that right?

I was really amazed at how many more Hondas there were than Kawasakis. I guess they are fairly cheap and good candidates for cafe or bobbers.

Ok, I officially took the hand off from boatdrinks and ron768 yesterday at Jeff Busby Park in Ms.
It was great to meet you guys. I wish my back would have cooperated and let me camp to make a full weekend ride out of it. What we did get to do was cool as he!!, but a full weekend of KZ riding would have been off the charts! :woohoo:

Here is what I posted in the Leg #2 thread for those that didn't catch it:

Got her done!!! Hand off went smooth as silk, just like we knew it would B) .
Met boatdrinks & son, and ron768 at Jeff Busby Park on the Natchez Trace parkway this afternoon for the hand off. Weather was nice, a bit cool and overcast, but fine weather for riding.

All my riding buddies(????) left me out in the cold on this ride, but I ended up getting my BIL to ride the 550 with me for the hand off. My son had a class trip to NOLA that we didn't have marked on the calender, so he had a legit excuse!!! For all you other FFs that wussed out, :blink: , you just missed a fine ride :P

Here's the band of KZ riding outlaws. boatdrinks and ron768 should have some great pics to go with these.

Heading out





steeds of the posse - 3 '78s and an '82
boatdrinks rides a pristine 1978 KZ650B2 with original paint in EXCELLENT condition
ron768 rides a 1978 LTD1000 that he bought in Germany. Bike has close to 150k on it and is a daily ride. Very nice bike.
BlackZ1-R left his Z1-R in the stable and rode his 1978 KZ1000A2 w/57k+ on this ride
BIL Dave riding a 1982 KZ550c LTD ...an 18 year, low mileage garage find

Passing the flag

John Hancocks

cool LTD550 rider


getting a pinch for the road



Had a great time meeting some good guys that share equal KZ enthusiasm as I have.
Hate I missed out on the camp out, but my back is toast.
Heh, that hot cup of coffee hit the spot and finally got the muscle relaxers to kick in and ease up the back pain for the ride home. Y'all turned around right in time. We went through a slight mist for about two miles and it was clear sailing from there on out. we clocked 252 miles today. The KZ1000 got 42mpg+, and the little 550LTD got a HUGE 62 mpg :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:


ron468

nice LTD ron

I think so. The next hand off is to the first rider in leg 3, I think.
