Mark is out for this week, I have an 18 year old kaw on the road at the moment, and am willing to transit between tek9 and jeffasaki if need be, but with mark gone that would mean a non vintage bike on the relay, if that won't work we can wait for mark, or just mail which would kind of suck.

AFAIK the flag is in Maine, and we are gtting it sooner than expected. I guess it was supposed to go to TDUB who would then mail it from NL to the beginning of the leg #2 guys but it seems that is out now but I don't know anything else.

Leg#1 will pass it to Leg#2 thru Canada, the hand off to Leg#2 is the next point, tek9 and Jonny were to be the starting point of Leg#2.

Mark will chime in here soon I'm sure, also the hand off might have to go by mail if the logistics are too much from where it is now to Canada due to passports, miles, bikes, etc.

Quick update. Squadrider had some personal stuff come up and was not able to complete the East Coast run on the 23rd.

He's still planning to do it in the coming week.

Getting from Mass. through New Hampshire and up into Maine is pretty easy, but we're picking up Vermont at the same time. That adds quite a bit to the trip for him. But if we don't get it now, I don't see how we'll ever circle back and cover VT.
Permanent and perpetual noob.

Jeffsaki is willing to pick it up from him. Why don't they try to meet in NH then Jeffsaki can go through Vermont? Just a thought.

Not to be critical,but here in Oregon, this is like watching paint dry :P
I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.
