What do you mean? It looks like your average classic Kaw with the bog-standard turbocharger setup. Don't you have one in your garage?
O.K., me neither. Does look nice though.

never had a turbo....I'm sure it's a thrill like no other.

Street Fighter, have you got any dyno graphs on that monster?
I wanna Turbo!!!

And there is "Curt" along the way in kzoo so maybe we could pick him up.

Not sure I'd want to ride the freeway very much. My little 650 winds up a bit and with no windshield...I get tossed around a lot.

Hey, just checking in. I have PMed the two riders before and after me in this leg of the relay and have gotten no replies. I know it's early in the game, but I'd like to start planning the ride and getting a route put together.
Ain' no way I'm riding interstate to play flag relay on my KZ. This thing is made to turn, and turn it does. :P

Someone once told me to marry that motorcycle I was riding ......there's times I wish I hadda listened .

Anyway, I appreciate everyone's patience and have got all who I think needed added to the map on there now. As for the Canadian section, I just took a wild stab at it as I couldn't find the thread where that was being discussed for some reason.

If any corrections or additions are needed, just let me know!


WE STILL NEED A RIDER BETWEEN PITTSBURGH AND CANADA, NOT THE WHOLE WAY NECESSARILY JUST A PART OF IT WILL HELP GREATLY!

Hey KZ Rage, I'm trying to create an updated map of the entire relay like I posted before. I am looking at your map and what is on the current Google map. Some of the riders are missing or seem out of place on Leg 2. In Indiana for example. I am including my map to see what I have included so far. Could you post an update version of your map I can grab information from?
I saw enaz1 involved in Leg 2 as well. Is he still part of Leg 2?

Hey Harm,
I will come all the way to your door if needed. Will (Renthorin) sent me a message somewhere on here about meeting I think you on the west side of state for lunch or dinner. My butt may take a beating , as Im more used to my Ultra Classic Geazer Glide for distance riding , but I plan on riding the Turbo LTD where ever we all agree on. Let me and Renthorin Know..

Mark
I sent a PM to Toad the other day. Im hoping he will bring the flag to the US side of the border unless Will makes other arrangements as I dont have a passport , and Im sure they arent gonna let my Turbo in Canada. I have had issues crossing before with noncompliant aftermarket exhaust.And I know Im about as noncompliant as you can get.
Let me know,
Dave
