Im still waiting on a reg/rec and now a new battery as of yet. my bike keeps randomly dying while riding.


I am sure that I have a used reg/rec that you can have. I could send it to you if that would help. post a pic in your build thread and I will have a look in my spare parts.

Hey guys - I just received an email from KZScott that his bike is in the shop and he's dropping out of the relay.

We need to find someone else in a hurry to help get the flag through Maine

Dam! I think that's the third rider from Maine we've lost. I'll post an ad on Craigslist.

T_Dub you're a real trooper. If we had one, you'd get the iron butt award for sure.

Wow I was just looking at the map . It"s like 1200 Miles to maine from where T-Dub is coming from. He will have some saddle sores for sure. Bike week in Laconia N.H. starts next week. There will be thousands of bikes in the area .To bad most are Harleys. I can"t believe that we can"t get someone to move the flag somehow.

I'm now emailing all the Kawasaki dealerships in Maine in the hopes that one of them will know someone.

Yup, I've got a long ways to go, but I dont mind doing it. 1200 miles each way, so someone should be able to step up and move the the thing a few hundred miles to get it to me. Even if it could be dropped in a dealership in Bangor for me to pick up, I dont want to have to go much further south than that. I'm looking at a 12 hour day on the road on the 23rd if I have to go to Bangor.

Hey guys. I'm busting my butt to get my bike working. If there was a Maine rider willing to meet in
St,john then I might be able to relay from there to port hawksbury to meet t-dub. I can't cross the boarder.
No passport.

Hey guys - I'm currently holding the flag in Massachusetts. I plan to take it to Maine via Vermont and New Hampshire to hit those states.

I have a brother in Arundel Maine which is in the south (20 mins south of Portland)and he also owns a house in Montville which is near Augusta.

I was hoping to meet KZScott at one of these locations so I could lay over but now his bike is broken down.

I could leave the flag with trusted individuals at either of these locations if it became hard get schedules together to meet someone so we're pretty flexible.

Also my brother in Arundel is going north later in the summer to the Gaspe' Penninsula in BC so that could be a possible way to send it except that he rides a Triumph.

Just putting my situation out there in case someone has an idea or we pick up another rider.
